“Botched” star Dr. Terry Dubrow<\/strong> is over the moon about Oprah<\/strong> <\/strong>opening up about using weight-loss medication … ’cause, in his eyes, it’s a move that could save lives.<\/p>\n Dr. Dubrow joined us Thursday on “TMZ Live,” singing Oprah’s praises for admitting she’s used meds as part of her weight loss journey … and telling us the trend of shaming folks for using medication like Ozempic needs to stop.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He says celebs have been hesitant to be as honest as Oprah was … often attributing their weight loss to working out or hormones, but in the doc’s eyes, it’s time they felt comfortable to speak candidly.<\/p>\n Dr. Dubrow thinks a really popular celeb, like O, opening up the discussion could start a trend — or at least a discussion — that leads to the general public warming to the use of these meds to combat obesity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As he points out, we wouldn’t shame people who take insulin for diabetes … so doing so for someone who needs it to lose weight is equally ridiculous.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As we reported<\/strong>, Oprah lost 40 lbs this year and told PEOPLE the medicine she was prescribed was a healthier alternative for her — this after she realized her struggles with weight loss were less about willpower and more about the brain.<\/p>\n Sounds like Oprah’s got another doc in her corner … one who’s hoping she changes public attitudes on these kinds of meds.<\/p>\n
