Will acceptance of Serena Williams help throw a shame from anti -obese drugs?

Serena Williams, one of the most successful athletes of all ages, talked about using weight loss medications – she says, to raise a “stigma” about using such a drug.

Will her explicit comments implant a new feeling of confidence in those who use drugs? Can she honestly calm critics?

She was the 43 -year -old tennis star, which broke the records and won 23 titles in the Grand Salam championship during her career, to embody fitness and sporting ingenuity. But after having children, even like many of us, she admitted to struggle to change these additional pounds.

In the end, Williams told Today Show on TV in the United States, that she had to look at her extra weight as a “discount”. Despite “training five hours a day” and “running, walking, riding a bicycle, and climbing stairs,” she could not be pulsed with this discount as she did with her opponents at the tennis stadium – so in the end, she had no other option but “trying something different.”

Many of her friends used GLP -1 – a group of medicines that help lose weight, so she decided to try them.

Williams is determined that the path of medicine – will not say which brand you take – was not easy, and certainly not an abbreviation of her foolishness, which has lost 31 kg (14 kg) during the past eight months.

There are doubts about the timing of the transparency of the last tennis star-just a RO spokesperson, a GLP-1 brands such as Wegovy and Zepbound (known as Mountjaro in the United Kingdom) through her weight loss program, and her husband is also an investor.

Nevertheless, the potential side effects of taking the drug, her sincerity will reach nerves for many – she says she talks about the shame that many women feel when it comes to using drugs to help them lose weight.

Calip Luna, Assistant Professor of Feminist Studies at the University of California, says that the presence of a person like Serena Williams is publicly speaking “penetration”.

They say it helps to silence critics on how to “achieve weight loss” who say “people take the easy way” using weight loss medications.

It gets rid of the stereotype that these drugs are for obese people who suffer from lazy and incompetent.

“In this regard, it may be good.”

But Calib also says that the revelation about her need to resort to the use of GLP-1 is a little “terrifying” and makes them feel “a little sad.” They are concerned that everything he does is hard work and dedication, instead, focusing on appearance and pressure to look in a certain way.

“I have achieved things that have been achieved by a few people, in our time and throughout history.

“But now he only shows how all these achievements can be undermined by body size.

“Slow, weight loss appears to outperform all these standard achievements.”

Williams weight and her appearance have been examined throughout her life. The burden, and pressure to expect with the expectations of society is not diminished regardless of the amount of sporting success that athlete has achieved in his career.

Although it may be the high sports star that uses weight loss medications publicly, there are many others in the eyes of the audience who spoke.

Opera Winfrey says it uses GLP-1 as a tool, as well as exercise and healthy eating, to stop itself “Yo-Ying” with her weight.

Actress Wobby Goldberg says she lost the weight of “two” people After taking the medicine and singer Kelly Clarkson, who says she was chased by the “doctor for two years” before she agreed to take it, she is among the dozens of stars who were open to taking the medicine.

Williams left the tennis world behind him in 2022, when she played the final match in her career in the United States Open, but she is still powerful and wanted to reach what she describes as her “healthy weight” since the birth of her second child, Aden.

In her interview with The Today Show, she says she felt that “her body was missing something” and was not able to reach what she felt comfortable – despite intense training.

Dr. Claire Madijan, a senior behavioral researcher at the Faculty of Sports, Exercise and Health Sciences at the University of Luburu, says elite athletes can find it difficult to lose weight.

“They are used to consuming a lot of calories and when they leave sports, they can find it difficult – it needs to be changed in behavior.”

Dr. Madijan said it was good to see that Williams mentioned that losing her weight was not only to the medicine – “she had to focus on diet and physical activity.”

She added: “It is a wonderful thing that she is talking about how difficult it is to lose weight after a child has.”

But she wonders whether Williams’s message may be lost and even stimulates some women. “The drug is very expensive, and the average person here may think the elite athlete, and she has access to the gym, has time, and has a dietitian … and she had to use the GLP-1S.”

Dr. Madijan also expressed his concern that the possible side effects of taking medications – which can include intestinal problems such as vomiting and diarrhea, and in rare cases, may not have been widely discussed in the propaganda surrounding Williams Declaration.

Williams says she did not suffer from any side effects, and she told the Women’s Health Magazine that she finally sees the benefits of all her hard work in the gym.

“My joints are much better, I have just been examined, and the doctor said everything – including blood sugar levels – looks great,” she says.

Although it no longer crashes a new floor on tennis courts, it still breaks its own records, with the help of weight loss medications. She is currently training for half a marathon.

“I run further than I have,” as you say proudly.
