Josh Gad credits 'miracle drug' with helping him lose 40 pounds

During an interview for the Armchair Expert podcast on Monday, the actor revealed that he has been taking a GLP-1 medication for weight loss. "I'm on a GLP-1... this is the first time I've opened up about this," he told host Dax Shepard. "It has suppressed, in a great way, that noise... when I wake up, I feel hunger pains - and so much of that is psychological - and what this does is it takes away that signal." Josh didn't name the GLP-1 drug has had been taking, though popular brands include Ozempic and Mounjaro.
