Metz: Focusing on Health, Tuning Out Critics

Chrissy Metz, known for her roles in 'This Is Us' and 'The Hunting Wives,' is embracing a GLP-1 medication to enhance her personal health. She recently shared her journey, noting that after years of unsuccessful diets, her primary goal is self-care, especially as she navigates perimenopause and family history of obesity.

Metz admits initial skepticism towards GLP-1s but has found positive results, particularly in reducing the 'food noise' that previously occupied her thoughts. She highlights benefits like reduced joint pain, inflammation, and improved mobility, aiding her current role in Broadway's '& Juliet'.

While open about her GLP-1 use, Metz has learned to disregard criticism, asserting that her health decisions are personal and based on her medical history and needs. She emphasizes maintaining a positive outlook and surrounding herself with supportive individuals.

Working with Ro, a digital health company providing GLP-1s, has been a positive experience for Metz. She appreciates the convenience of at-home medication delivery and accessible care team support, which facilitates open conversations about potential side effects and treatment efficacy.

Metz is consciously avoiding setting specific weight loss numbers, focusing instead on building muscle with a trainer and overall comfort and strength. Her ultimate goal is to feel capable and healthy, rather than letting a number on the scale dictate her well-being.
