Kris Jenner: I ‘tried’ Ozempic many years ago but ‘it made me really sick’

This week, Kris Jenner appeared on the SheMD podcast. Kris ended up revealing something which (I guess) many people suspected: that she tried Ozempic, and she’s more than a little GLP-1-curious. There’s something irritating about these headlines though: “Kris Jenner finally admits she tried Ozempic after speculation” and “Kris Jenner confesses…” Like, half of Los Angeles is on Ozempic. It’s not a crime. This is not “admitting” some dirty little secret. And the “finally” like Kris’s is-she-or-isn’t-she Ozempic debate has been any kind of major gossip story (it has not). Kris was never overweight, but sure, she’s looked slimmer than usual in recent years. She doesn’t have that “Ozempic face” either. That’s because she only tried Ozempic briefly, years ago, and quickly went off of it.

Kris Jenner is not on Ozempic—Bible. In fact, while the Kardashian matriarch recently admitted she did try a GLP-1 weight loss medication in the past, it was not a fit for her.

“I tried it,” Kris said on the May 5 episode of the SheMD podcast. “We tried it once when no one knew what it was and it made me really sick.”

She subsequently reached out to Dr. Thais Aliabadi, a.k.a. Dr. A, one of the SheMD hosts and Kris’ personal physician.

“I called her up one day,” the 70-year-old recalled, “and I go, ‘I can’t work anymore. I can’t, I’m so sick. I can’t like—nauseous.’ And so she goes, ‘Okay, okay, let’s try something else.’”

So, she and Dr. Aliabadi “dialed around and looked at different options” before landing on a combination of unspecified peptide injections—ones different from Ozempic and other GLP-1 peptide injections—and supplements.

“And that was a game changer,” the momager said. “That actually bought me an extra couple hours at night. Because I get up so early, I tend to want to go and collapse as soon as I have my last email or my last call or see my kids and have dinner and I’m done.”

Instead, after implementing supplements, “I felt like I had more energy. And of course, it’s good for hair, and nails, and skin and all of that stuff.”

For Kris—mom to Kourtney Kardashian, 47, Kim Kardashian, 45, Khloe Karashian, 41, Rob Kardashian, 39, Kendall Jenner, 20, and Kylie Jenner, 28—maintaining a close eye on her hormone levels has also proved to be paramount.

“I get my blood drawn every three months,” she explained, “just to keep my hormones balanced. Because I realized after I was 45 that was like so important to just your physical female health—and male health, by the way. I encourage my son to check hormones to see what’s happening… But it was really a game changer for me, because when you look at your thyroid, you look at your hormone health—you look at what your body needs.”

“Before landing on a combination of unspecified peptide injections—ones different from Ozempic and other GLP-1 peptide injections—and supplements…” Sure. I think Kris, much like her daughters, uses her body as a science experiment for whatever’s trendy in cosmetic surgery and pharmaceutical maintenance. And so be it – I believe her, I believe that she’s not on a traditional GLP-1, that she’s probably taking a cocktail of estrogen and hormones and peptides and whatever. She spends a lot of money to look like this and it’s clearly worth it for her.

    Sure Jan, sure.

    That’s their whole brand, doing weird shit to their bodies. It’s gross and I actually feel sorry for all of them

    • Josephine says:

      Their brand is to do crap to their bodies, lie about doing it, and sell snake oil so you, too, can look less than human. I know a lot of people think she looks good. I’m just not one of them. They all look a little grosteque to me, and I think we need to have a reckoning about normalizing extreme body and face changes. It directly attributes to women being secomd class citizens and people like them are making a mint off of it.

      • Normades says:

        Tots agree. We need to normalize normal faces.
        I have slightly hooded eyes, nothing abnormal and I am considered attractive. But I see all these celebrities getting eye surgeries that give them the permanently surprised look and it’s weird and not more attractive than before (ex: JLaw, Bradley Cooper etc…). Any little excess skin or puffiness is not a flaw that needs to be corrected.

  3. morgfunk says:

    no crap Kris it’s called human growth hormone and you’ve been jacked up on it, duh squared. And Jlo and everyone else in Hollywood over 45 who has crazy muscle mass and no wrinkles. It’s obviously she takes a different glp, probably reta that one recently got fda approved but people have been taking it on grey market for YEARS.

  4. mightymolly says:

    Ozempic must have been around for celebs and rich people long before us plebs knew about it. I only learned about GLP-1s a couple of years ago, and I’m so grateful for them. There is nothing wrong with being healthier. When you hit menopause, they will throw every drug in the book at you and then slam you for taking GLP-1s. Miss me with that crap.

  5. Shiela Kerr says:

    Makes me sad to think folks feel only youthfulness adds value to their life.

    • mightymolly says:

      I think with the KarJenners it’s about more than youthfulness. They see their only value in sexual desirability. And even though they’re all financially set for many lifetimes, it was earned through sexual desirability and they never took time to develop interests beyond looking in the mirror. They all seem like very sad people, except maybe Kendall. I don’t know why, but she seems like maybe she’s actually having fun.

  6. Dahlia Dee says:

    I hate them and what they represent with the fire of a thousand suns, but man, their plastic surgeons are artists. Just put Kris Jenner and Lauren Sanchez side by side, and the Kartrashians’ doctors’ work becomes a work of art. I don’t have to like them to appreciate their doctors’ skills.
