Luke Combs Admits Weight Loss Drugs Scare Him

Country music sensation Luke Combs recently shared his profound fear that his physical appearance might negatively impact his career prospects. He confessed on a podcast that this worry has been a difficult realization, as he feels he cannot easily alter his looks.

Combs has long battled with his weight and dislikes the idea of an "easy life." Consequently, he has decided against using weight loss drugs, finding the potential risks more daunting than the rewards. He prefers to tackle his health challenges through arduous means, viewing it as a personal battle he needs to win.

His journey toward better health began around July 2025, coinciding with the release of his single "Back in the Saddle." This period also marked his son Tex's birth in June 2022, and later Beau Lee in August 2023, with a third son, Chet, arriving earlier this month. These paternal responsibilities fueled his desire for longevity and better health.

Combs, who also manages anxiety and OCD, has been proactive about his well-being. In 2024, he adopted a gluten-free diet, which he credited with significantly improving his mental state. He sees his health goals as a long-term commitment, essential for being the best father he can be to his children.
