Serena Williams Discloses Weight-Loss Secret: How GLP-1s Helped Her Shed 31 Pounds

Serena Williams recently disclosed her impressive weight loss of 31 pounds by utilizing GLP-1 medications. These treatments, primarily designed for diabetes management, have garnered attention for their benefits in weight reduction. Williams attributed her transformation not solely to the medication but also to a consistent healthy diet and regular exercise. “I feel great,” she shared with PEOPLE, expressing her renewed vigor both physically and mentally. Her challenges with weight began post-pregnancy after the birth of her first child, Alexis Olympia, in 2017. Despite rigorous training and healthy eating, she struggled to reach her ideal weight, a frustration echoed in her journey following the birth of her second daughter, Adira River, in August 2023. After conducting in-depth research, Williams sought medical advice from Ro and started GLP-1 injections six months postpartum. The results bolstered her energy and encouraged active engagement. Throughout her weight journey, she emphasized self-love and confidence, encouraging her daughters to embrace body positivity regardless of size.
