Gracie McGraw says Ozempic revived her eating disorder after weight loss

Gracie McGraw posted a candid Instagram story describing how a three-year course of Ozembic, prescribed after she was diagnosed with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, helped manage her condition but also brought back an eating disorder. She explained that the drug’s weight-loss effect made her feel she had made the best choice, yet it pushed her into an extreme thinness she didn’t recognize at the time. The singer-songwriter’s daughter said the experience altered how others treated her and opened doors she had not previously had.

Although she has since switched to a low dose of Mounjaro and is regaining weight, she continues to battle body-image issues and urges empathy over body shaming. Her comments also referenced advice from the Mayo Clinic on weight management for PCOS and a recent endocrinology appointment that prompted the medication change.
