Real Housewives of Orange County star, Emily Simpson, is sharing the truth about her weight loss journey. She reveals that she used Ozempic as a way to jumpstart her progress. Emily opened up about her experience on SiriusXM's The Jeff Lewis Show, explaining that after finishing filming in November 2022, she went through a challenging period. During filming, she had neglected her health by indulging in excessive food and alcohol, not getting enough rest or exercise.

Simpson informed Jeff Lewis that she wished to inform her followers that her weight loss did not happen suddenly or in a short period of time, despite what they saw on season 13 of RHOC.

Following her battle with depression and weight gain, Simpson consulted a doctor who conducted a comprehensive blood test. She revealed, "I had high cholesterol, no testosterone, and was at risk for diabetes. The doctor recommended trying semiglutide, also known as Ozempic, so I followed her advice and began taking it in December."

The California resident mentioned that she had been taking Ozempic for a month. According to FDA guidelines, Ozempic and another semiglutide called Wegovy are commonly prescribed for long-term weight management or for assisting with weight-related conditions like type 2 diabetes.

Although she found that Ozempic gave her a positive initial boost in losing five to seven pounds, she ultimately discontinued using the medication due to the side effects of feeling lethargic and experiencing low energy levels. This was particularly challenging for her as she has three young children - daughter Annabelle, who is 10 years old, and twin boys Luke and Keller, who are 7. It is worth noting that Shane, her husband, also has two daughters from a previous marriage.

In addition to Dolores Catania and Margaret Josephs, Emily is now among the Housewives who openly acknowledge incorporating semiglutide or a comparable medication for weight loss. However, in the past, she seemed to dismiss the assertions made by fans accusing her of using Ozempic.

Emily assured her followers on Instagram on Friday, June 23 that they didn't know her and nothing would "revert back" because her well-toned arms were the result of intensive weightlifting. Additionally, in her conversation with Jeff Lewis, Emily mentioned that she underwent liposuction on her arms to address her long-standing discomfort, opting for a "novel" treatment. She also underwent a breast reduction.

After recovering from the surgery, Emily noticed a significant transformation in her appearance. She was thrilled with the results, particularly the slimmer arms and reduced chest size. Additionally, she was pleasantly surprised to discover the presence of well-defined muscles in her arms after the liposuction procedure. This positive change was not solely attributed to the weight loss achieved through Ozempic and plastic surgery. Emily acknowledged that the removal of arm fat motivated her to embrace a healthier lifestyle and pursue a new dietary approach. She now prioritizes protein-rich foods in her diet, limiting carbohydrate intake, and maintains a rigorous exercise routine of six to seven days per week.
