Jim Gaffigan Reveals He Lost 50 Lbs. On Mounjaro, Says He Doesn’t Understand Why There’s A Stigma Around Weight-Loss Drugs
Comedian Jim Gaffigan has shared new details about his weight-loss journey and his thoughts on the public’s perception of prescribed medications.
Gaffigan revealed that when he was 270 pounds, he decided to try the medication Mounjaro. He has since lost 50 pounds. “I feel good,” he said. “I’m just grateful because it’s such a better life.”
