Actress Chrissy Metz, best known for playing Kate Pearson in "This Is Us," has revealed that she began using a GLP-1 weight-loss medication after years of doubting the drugs. She shared the news during an appearance on "The Today Show," where she discussed her change of heart regarding the increasingly popular class of treatments used for weight management.

Metz, who has previously been open about her struggles with weight and body image throughout her career, explained that her scepticism gave way to a decision to try the medication for her health. GLP-1 drugs, originally developed to treat diabetes, have surged in popularity in recent years as weight-loss aids, with numerous celebrities publicly discussing their use.
