She revealed the secret of losing her weight .. Serena Williams talks about the family health problem

American tennis legend Serena Williams appeared on the Today Show program to speak frankly about her last physical transformation, after she lost more than 30 lbs thanks to the use of the already designated GLP-1 for diabetes treatment, which has become one of the most common drugs for weight loss.

Serena (43 years) revealed that her decision to resort to this treatment was not just an aesthetic choice, but rather the result of a “health problem” inherited in her family, where many members of her family suffer from diabetes. She explained that this fact led her to think seriously about her health and future, considering that early prevention was an inevitable step.

The star talked about her suffering with the knee problems that exacerbated after having her child Olympia (2017) and Adira (2023). She said: “I could not reach the ideal weight I needed for my health, no matter how much I tried in traditional ways. Frankly, this affected some of the victories that I could have achieved in my sporting career.”

Serena pointed out that her previous attempts to lose weight through exercises and diet did not give the desired results, as she lost some kilograms and then returned to stabilize her weight without reaching her goal. After the birth of her second child, she started using the weekly GLP-1 injection (such as Ozmpic, Mounjaro and Wegovy), which helped her control the appetite and lose weight gradually and healthy.

By appearing in an elegant dress from L’Agence with a snake’s skin, Serena confirmed that today she feels unprecedented psychological and physical comfort: “I feel good and comfortable. I feel more physical and psychological comfort than ever.”
