Former Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels has sounded the alarm on GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, urges people to 'try anything else' to lose weight. Michaels, 50, shared her thoughts on the popular drugs taking Hollywood by storm during an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com in New York City this month.

Over the past few years, GLP-1 medications, which have historically been used to treat type 2 diabetes, have become extremely popularized as a weight-loss aid after they were approved by the FDA. Ozempic contains a compound called semaglutide, which 'mimics the GLP-1' hormone, according to UCLA Health - a hormone that can work with your brain to suppress your appetite and make you feel fuller more quickly.

When it's taken in a high dose, combined with diet and exercise, it can help people lose weight. It's particularly taken off in Hollywood, with celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Sharon Osbourne, and Rebel Wilson all having admitted to taking a weight-loss drug.

But Michaels, who helped people lose hundreds of pounds without weight loss medication or surgery on The Biggest Loser, is not exactly a fan. 'Everything with medication, for me personally, is a cost-benefit analysis,' Michaels told DailyMail.com exclusively.
