Cohen Credits GLP-1 Microdosing for Summer Weight Loss

Lead: Andy Cohen revealed on his SiriusXM show September 9 that he lost 25 pounds this summer by “micro-dosing” a GLP-1 medication to curb cravings and improve heart health.

Nut Graf: The 57-year-old host of Watch What Happens Live disclosed his doctor-supervised regimen-aimed at addressing arterial plaque, high blood pressure and diet discipline-arguing it would be hypocritical not to share his own fitness journey after two decades of questioning guests about theirs.

Health Journey and Medication Details

Cohen said his physician first recommended a GLP-1 treatment last year not only for weight concerns but also to help clear plaque buildup in his arteries and manage elevated blood pressure. He did not name the specific drug but noted its rising popularity among celebrities for its appetite-suppressing effects.

Regimen and Results

• Micro-dosing schedule integrated into his summer routine
• Rigorous workouts with a trainer to preserve muscle mass
• Elimination of late-night snacking and excessive drinking
• Total weight loss of approximately 25 pounds

Managing Cravings on Set

Filming Watch What Happens Live presented constant temptations-cookies, pizza nights and craft-service snacks. Cohen credited the GLP-1 for drastically reducing those urges, allowing him to lift heavier weights and maintain dietary discipline.

Emphasis on Transparency

Cohen explained, “After 20 years of asking every guest how they did their fitness, it would be hypocritical to lose 25 pounds this summer and not mention it.” He encouraged broader insurance coverage for GLP-1 therapies, calling them “revolutionary drugs” that support multiple aspects of health.

Looking Ahead

Now off the micro-dose, Cohen says he has reframed his relationship with food and plans to continue his disciplined regimen, balancing moderate drinking with no-snacking rules and regular strength training.
