Among the things the television personality has tried,Ozempic-like drugsdon't agree with her.
"I did not do like an Ozempic," Jenner said, suggesting she tried a drug in the same GLP-1 category. "I tried it. We tried it once when no one knew what it was, and it made me really sick."
The businesswoman said she told Aliabadi, "I can't work anymore. I can't. I'm so sick. I can't, like [feeling] nauseous. And so she goes, 'OK, OK. Let's try something else.'"

She also emphasized how crucial hormone testing was for her as she got older. "I realized after I was 45, that was so important to just your physical female health," she said. "And male health, by the way."
Jenner called this part of her health routine a "game-changer" for looking at "what your body needs."
She added fish oil and other supplements "actually bought me an extra couple hours at night."
"Because I get up so early, I tend to want to go and collapse as soon as I have my last email or my last call or see my kids and have dinner, and I'm done," she said. "I felt like I had more energy."
She continued, "I just want to take care of myself and feel good about myself."
Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider concerning questions you have before starting, stopping or modifying any treatment or medication.
