Actress Lisandra Silva is ready to share her not-so-positive experience with Ozempic.
“How low did Ozempic go?” Silva, 37, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, November 2. “Do you know who recommended it to me: A doctor👀, and I tell you I put it on once to try it, because they talked about it so much and I ended up in the hospital.”
Ozempic, an FDA-approved prescription medication for people with type 2 diabetes, has become popular for weight loss in and out of Hollywood.
While the drug has been successful for some patients, Silva explained that her brief experience with the drug was anything but a pretty one.
Ozempic has become a hot topic when it comes to weight loss — with some stars confirming they have used the drug while others denied it. Chelsea Handler admitted during a January 2023 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that she unknowingly took the Type 2 diabetes medication, which is traditionally used to improve […]
“My sugar dropped so much that I had to call the children’s daddy when I felt like I was passing out & my kids were asleep next to me,” she wrote to her 2 million Instagram followers. “Thank God nothing happened but I felt like I was dying and ended up at the clinic in a wheelchair.”
Silva — who shares son Noah and daughter Leiah with ex Raúl Peralta — seemingly quit the drug and chose to focus on a healthier lifestyle that includes working out and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables.
In her latest social media post, the actress showed her progress by including before and after clips of her new physique.
“My OZEMPIC IS: Ayurveda Diet, Meditation, Exercise in Nature!” she shared. “Discipline, Determination, Mental Toughness, and Clear Goals! Health of the mind, body and heart! Please listen to my advice! There is nothing like a healthy lifestyle! DON’T MAKE IT UP! 🥒 🌿 🥬 🍀.”

Silva said she will share more details about her experience in an upcoming episode of her “Open Mic With Lis” podcast.
Real Housewives such as Kyle Richards have addressed whether they used diabetes medication Ozempic for weight loss. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star sparked speculation about using the drug after she debuted her slimmed-down figure in January 2023 via a bikini selfie. Richards then opened up about how her decision to cut back on alcohol […]
This isn’t the first time Silva has given fans a look inside her lifestyle. During summer vacations, the Cuban actress documented her workouts at various hotels. “Train with us 💪🏋️🌿🌳,” she wrote via Instagram in October. “Exercise is life!”
She also proclaimed to be in her “green era” after showcasing all of the vegetables she is enjoying at her home kitchen.
“I restarted my Ayurvedic diet,” Silva wrote via Instagram on October 21. “The same one that made me lose 30 kilos postpartum, along with intermittent fasting, weight training, massages and also an intensive course of 6 weeks where I’m learning Bio energy and also another course where I’ll know each organ of my body.”
