Jillian Michaels has never sugarcoated her views on Ozempic -- but she's upping the ante, saying folks who care about their health should be seriously ticked off about the way their psychology is being exploited.

Now you asked me about Ozympic shame. Here's what I want to say to that real quick. We
00:06
got to stop giving that energy. It's a distraction. It's a game. Chronic disease is going up in
00:11
this country at an unprecedented pace, whether it's autoimmune conditions, infertility, early
00:17
onset cancer diagnoses, autism with our kids. This is a game. This is a distraction. This
00:23
is not what we should be paying attention to. Disease does not happen in a silo. When
00:27
you eat 10,000 chemicals that are in our food supply, I can sit here all day long and
00:32
tell you, work out, eat better, move more, use common sense with your food choices, and
00:36
I have. But there are 10,000 chemicals in our food that are poisoning us, literally
00:41
making us sick, making us obese, and they're impacting every aspect of our wellness, from
00:47
your fertility to your endocrine system, which will impact your weight as well. Ozymbic is
00:55
not the answer, man. It's hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a month. Forgive me.
01:01
It's hundreds, if not over $1,000 a month. It's got a host of crappy side effects. You
01:06
plateau on it, and here's one for you to prove my point. Prime Therapeutics, which is one
01:10
of the biggest pharmacy benefit managers for Blue Cross Blue Shield, just came out with
01:14
a survey not too long back saying that 66% of the people that are put on ozymbic get
01:20
off within the first year alone, and the reasons they cite are cost, plateau, side
01:27
effect. This is not an answer. But it's very popular, ozymbic, for whatever reason. Do
01:31
you think that people who take it then should potentially be a bit ashamed of doing it that
01:35
way instead of the natural way? Oh, there's no shame. It's not about shame. It's about
01:38
educating people to get pissed off about the things, the ways in which your psychology
01:44
is being exploited. You're depressed. You're sad. Oh, here's a donut. Here's a taco. We're
01:50
surrounded by ubiquitous cues to eat all the time. The food's very addictive and designed
01:55
to be that way. There's just a lot of things working against Americans. This has nothing
01:59
to do with shame. It's about giving people the facts, and they're always trying to obscure
02:03
it and hide it and lie about it. People like myself, we talk about it. We're anti-science.
02:08
We're fat shamers. We're ozymbic shamers. We're racists. We're whatever. We just did
02:14
this whole thing in DC on the Capitol, and it was myself, MDs from Harvard, Stanford,
02:21
Johns Hopkins, a host of other health advocates. The Atlantic wrote about it and called it
02:27
MAGA meets woohoo. First of all, if Stanford, Harvard, and Johns Hopkins are woohoo, sign
02:32
me up. Sign me up. I'm in. Second, there's no political affiliation whatsoever. If you
02:40
care about your health, you should be pissed that they're trying to make this partisan.
02:43
This has nothing to do with politics.
