Van Ness: GLP-1 Helped Treat Binge-Eating Disorder

Jonathan Van Ness says he lost about 70 pounds over the last year, crediting a GLP-1 medication and regular Solidcore Pilates for the change and newfound abdominal definition. He said he began the GLP-1 after a 2023 medical scare and to help control a longstanding binge-eating disorder, and has been open about the drug's role. After facing criticism that his weight loss means he's no longer body positive, Van Ness pushed back on TikTok, saying he practices body neutrality and that appearance does not determine worth or lovability. He said he feels healthier and more confident, shared transformation photos, and urged honesty about seeking help for recovery and wellbeing.
