Comedian Margaret Cho has shared her positive experience using GLP-1 medications to manage a diagnosed binge eating disorder. The 57-year-old actress described the drug as a "lifesaver," attributing its effectiveness to its ability to curb impulse eating and suppress her appetite. She stated that her initial goal was to stop the overwhelming "food noise" associated with her condition.
Cho elaborated that her eating was not driven by hunger but by an "inner hunger" that felt self-soothing and destructive. She expressed strong support for GLP-1s, finding them incredibly helpful for impulse control. This personal revelation comes as GLP-1 medications are gaining attention for their potential in treating various addictions and for weight management.
