Mounjaro is a diabetes medication that has gained traction for its weight loss side effects and has been part of O’Donnell’s regimen in recent months. In a previous TikTok video, she mentioned that the shift in her lifestyle, especially after moving from Los Angeles to Ireland, played a significant role in her progress.
Without a personal chef, she has been preparing meals for herself and her child, Clay, and that hands-on change has been a turning point. O’Donnell also acknowledged the emotional side of weight loss, noting how physical changes have impacted her body image and confidence.
