Hannah Brown on GLP-1 Journey: 'I Literally Felt Like a New Human'

HannahBrown is opening up about her experience with GLP-1s to treat polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome or PMOS.

The Bachelorette star spoke about her journey during a recent appearance on the SHE MDpodcast, hosted by OBGY Dr. Thaïs Aliabad, or "Dr. A," and women's health advocate Mary Alice Haney.

"You were the first to tell me even what a GLP-1 was and how it could help with my insulin resistance," she said to the co-host, Dr. Aliabad.

Formerly known as PCOS, PMOS is a hormonal and metabolic disorder that alters how the body uses insulin.

"You had discussed me going on a GLP-1. We talked about the weight gain that I was having," Brown said. "I was obviously really bloated. I was not having my period. You know, it would be every three months, maybe I would have one for two days and then that would be it."

GLP-1s are commonly used to help with Type 2 diabetes because of their effect on insulin. The medication works by lowering blood sugar by imitating the hormone that moves sugar into your cells. It stimulates the natural production of insulin. Common brand-name GLP-1s include Ozempic and Wegovy.

"You put me on one of those and I will say it changed my life," the reality star shared. "I have now, since taking that have had a period every 30 days. I have no bloating."

Brown is grateful for the medication's help with her PCOS symptoms.

"I literally felt like a new human and not just because it was able to just stabilize me not continuing to just gain all this weight, but I could tell a difference by just how I felt being supported on that with all the other [PMOS] symptoms I had," she said. "I know some people who have a lot of bad things to say about GLP-1 but it changed my life."
