Chrissy Metz: Why I Finally Said Yes to a GLP-1 (And Stopped Blaming Myself)
Chrissy Metz is opening up to Tamsen Fadal about one of the biggest decisions she's ever made for her health.
After years of living with food noise, struggling with shame around her weight, and wondering why she couldn't "just get it together," the This Is Us star shares why she decided to start a GLP-1 medication, what changed after losing her father to obesity-related complications, and how quieting the constant mental battle with food has transformed her everyday life.
In this conversation, Tamsen and Chrissy also explore what it means to reinvent yourself in midlife.
They talk about life after This Is Us, stepping onto a Broadway stage, learning to protect your peace, finding confidence through change, and why your next chapter doesn't have to look anything like your last.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- What "food noise" really feels like and why so many women silently struggle with it
- Why Chrissy decided to start a GLP-1 medication after years of hesitation
- The unexpected changes she's experienced beyond weight loss
- How she found the confidence to reinvent herself after This Is Us
- Why it's never too late to start over or pursue a lifelong dream
Whether you're curious about GLP-1 medications, navigating your own health journey, or embracing a new season of life, Tamsen and Chrissy's conversation is an honest reminder that taking care of yourself isn't something to feel guilty about, it's something to be proud of.
