“Kelly Clarkson’s Shocking Health Revelation: The Truth Behind Her Weight Loss Journey!”
Kelly Clarkson has recently opened up about incorporating weight loss medication into her health journey. On a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the singer, 42, engaged in a conversation with Whoopi Goldberg, praising her for her youthful appearance. Goldberg, 68, attributed her transformation to significant weight loss, mentioning a “wonderful shot” that aids those in need of assistance.
Clarifying her own weight loss journey, Clarkson disclosed that she, too, has shed a significant amount of weight due to health concerns. Despite initial hesitations stemming from existing thyroid issues, she eventually opted for medication recommended by her doctor, emphasizing its role in managing her blood sugar levels.
Contrary to popular assumptions, Clarkson clarified that she’s not using Ozempic, a medication often associated with weight management and type 2 diabetes. Instead, she’s taking a different medication aimed at facilitating sugar breakdown, addressing her body’s specific needs.
During their conversation, both women candidly discussed their heaviest weights before embarking on their respective health regimens. Goldberg disclosed reaching 300 lbs, while Clarkson revealed her highest weight was around 203 lbs, considering her height of 5’3 and a half.

Clarkson previously shared with PEOPLE in January her commitment to her doctor’s guidance, a departure from her previous approach. She attributed part of her weight loss to her new environment in New York City, where walking serves as a significant workout component, supplemented by infrared saunas and cold plunges.
Discussing her dietary choices, Clarkson emphasized a balanced approach, admitting her Texan roots influence her preference for a protein-rich diet. She humorously acknowledged her apology to vegetarians, given her penchant for meat.
Further revealing her health journey, Clarkson admitted to being pre-diabetic during a subsequent talk show episode with Kevin James, which served as a catalyst for her weight loss efforts. Despite initial nonchalance, the diagnosis prompted her to take proactive measures to improve her health.
