Oprah Winfrey manages her health using GLP-1 weight-loss medication, daily exercise, and an updated view of obesity as a chronic biological condition rather than a failure of willpower.
Medication: She uses a GLP-1 prescription to help quiet “food noise” and manage her body’s natural weight set point (which she identifies around 211–218 pounds). After temporarily stopping the medication, she gained 20 pounds, confirming her view of it as a long-term medical tool.
Fitness: She works out up to six days a week, incorporating daily hiking, side-plank exercises, deadlifts, and resistance training.
Diet & Habits: She eats a single midday meal and no longer drinks alcohol, noting that the medication naturally curbed her desire to drink.
New Book: She co-authored the book Enough: Your Health, Your Weight, and What It’s Like to Be Free with Dr. Ania Jastreboff to help destigmatize obesity treatment and advocate for health equity.
