My Big Fat Fabulous Life star Whitney Thore opened up about whether she would consider taking a GLP-1 to lose weight as she struggled to conceive in Season 13.
On the Tuesday, Sept. 2 episode of the TLC series, Thore moved to Salem, Mass., with the help of Greensboro, N.C., pals, Ashley Baynes and Jessica Powell.

Whitney Thore shared her thoughts on taking a GLP-1 on 'MBFFL.'
During the Season 13 finale, Baynes brought up her cousin, who had been overweight her whole life until she started GLP-1 injections.
"She got married a couple years ago and was trying to have kids and could not," Baynes explained. "And then she got on the GLP-1 just for weight loss, dropped 40 pounds like that. And then I found out she was pregnant and had to stop real quick because she didn't get on it to get pregnant."
Baynes continued, "Apparently, her doctor said it's probably just that the shot regulated her hormones and like regulated her insulin. Is that something you would even begin to consider?"
Thore, 41, elaborated to producers about the class of medications — like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro — which are used to treat type 2 diabetes but are also popular for weight loss.
"With PCOS, I deal with hormonal imbalances, weight issues, insulin resistance, fertility problems," she shared. "GLP-1s are supposed to help that, and they're supposed to lower inflammation. And that is exciting, I'm not going to say it's not. It feels interesting to me."

To Baynes, Thore replied, "I don't know. That's so fraught. I mean, I would not think twice about it if it were to do something medically to me that could help me get pregnant."
Ultimately, she decided to make an appointment to discuss the option with her doctor.
"Would I consider taking a GLP-1 just to lose weight? Probably not. But would I consider a GLP-1 if it could help me get pregnant? Yeah. Yeah, I would," Thore told producers. "Does that make me a traitor to the body positivity movement? I don't know what it means. But life is too short to not pursue what I want in any way that I see fit."
