Tana Mongeau isn’t holding back when it comes to her latest health confession.
The 27-year-old influencer revealed she’s been using the GLP-1 drug Mounjaro during a candid TikTok video on Thursday, August 28, getting real about her complicated relationship with the medication and the rollercoaster it’s taken her on.
Mongeau admitted she keeps turning back to the drug, even though the side effects can be brutal.
“It’s so funny because they always see me, and it’s like a deer in headlights,” she joked of running into celebrities and influencers at her Beverly Hills Mounjaro clinic. “They’re like, ‘That’s the b**** with the podcast…’ They’re scared. They don’t want me to expose them, because that’s the only thing that people get there.”
@tanamongeaulol be careful bc i rly will take down everyone with me.
Still, the podcast host confessed she “can’t decide” if she wants to stay on the injections. Earlier this month, she even warned fans on her show to “never, ever, ever do it” after it made her extremely nauseous — yet she’s already back. “You hypocrite!” Mongeau critiqued herself. “It’s like a toxic boyfriend. I swear, I can’t. I suck at knowing there are quick fixes for things.”
Part of the cycle, Mongeau admitted, comes from her lifestyle. She recalled a trip to Australia where she indulged in “cheese on top of cheese,” only to come home to find her jeans didn’t fit.
“I know, and everyone in L.A. knows, that I can go to this place in Beverly Hills, and then all my jeans fit again,” she explained. “It sucks, because right now, I just ate rice cakes…I feel like I had Thanksgiving dinner twice. It can’t be good. And then I go back to, ‘I’m never going back on it again. I’m getting off it.’”
Even though she admits she’s “never going to be an Alo gym girl,” Mongeau said she’s trying to incorporate pilates into her everyday routine. “I want to do it the healthy way,” she shared.
“Having a quick fix dangling before you like a carrot, it’s just so hard sometimes not to fold. I don’t know if this is going to get me in trouble, but everyone is on it, everyone you love. If I’m in trouble, so is everyone ever. I’m taking everyone down with me…I have to get off of it, but I just have to tell you that I’m on it this week.”
For now, Mongeau says she’s “so sad missing the dopamine of food” and longs for something more comforting than a diet of rice cakes. “All I want to do is have a Hot ‘n Spicy McChicken dipped in buffalo sauce and feel joy,” she complained.
