In plain language
Gracie McGraw, daughter of country music stars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, recently shared how using the medication Ozempic affected her mental health. Although the medicine helped manage her physical symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), she says it also triggered a return of her eating disorder. She explained that the rapid weight loss initially felt like a success, but she later realized it was fueling unhealthy habits and negative body image. Now off the medication, she is focused on recovery and advocates for more compassion toward people struggling with weight and health.
