<p id=”par-7_29″>Also on May 2, Catania and Joseph visited the set of Sherri Shepherd’s talk show <em>Sherri, </em>where they opened up about taking the prescription drug Ozempic to slim down.</p>
<p id=”par-8_26″>Both <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/how-many-original-cast-members-are-on-the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-season-14.html/”><em>RHONJ </em>stars</a> fessed up to taking the medication, which is FDA-approved for people with type 2 diabetes but is often used off-label for weight loss. </p>
<p id=”par-9_27″>“There’s no shame in it,” Catania said (via <a href=”https://youtu.be/MQYRBqhygjE?feature=shared” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>YouTube</a>). “If a doctor gives it to you, if you’re doing things right, you’re becoming healthier by losing weight.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_15″>Josephs said the medication helped after she struggled to lose weight once she reached menopause.</p>
<p id=”par-11_28″>“It shuts off that food noise, my blood work is great,” she said, adding, “I don’t know why there’s any shame in it if it’s helpful to people.”</p>
