Jonathan Van Ness, known for his role on Queer Eye, recently opened up on social media about his personal struggles and the weight-loss medication he’s using to manage his binge-eating disorder. On January 8, Jonathan took to TikTok to share that he is on a medication called GLP-1, which helps with weight loss.
He explained that many of his followers have seen him go through cycles of gaining and losing weight, which have been quite public. At this point in his life, Jonathan realized he needed some extra support to manage his health. He confessed that, over the past two years, he gained a significant amount of weight and struggled with his binge-eating disorder, which had gotten out of control. Jonathan shared that his compulsive eating habits often left him feeling “really not good, depressed, and out of control.”
After discussing his challenges with his doctor, Jonathan decided to try GLP-1 medication, which comes in both pill and shot forms. He began using the shots in September and noticed an immediate improvement in how he felt. For the first time, he felt able to control his food intake, which was a major turning point for him.
Jonathan emphasized how important it is to ask for help when you’re struggling, as it can truly make a difference in the healing process. He wanted to be transparent with his followers, sharing how this medication has been a significant part of his journey to better health, and how it has helped him regain a sense of control over his life.
