Caroline Stanbury talks about her use of Ozempic.
The Real Housewives of Dubai star, 48, said on a recent episode of her podcast Uncut and uncensored with Caroline Stanburythat she used Ozempic to lose weight during a “midlife crisis” she experienced at age 45.
In a video posted from the episode on Instagram, Stanbury said: “After 40, we all know, it’s very, very hard to lose weight. But I met so many 40-year-old women who asked, ‘How did you do it?’ And I don’t want to lie to you … I used Ozempic, which I think is one of the best tools if you can use it.”
“What did Kate Moss say? ‘Nothing tastes as good as lean.’ There’s something to be said for that,” Stanbury added.
Caroline Stanbury and Husband Sergio Carrallo Document Her Painful Facelift Recovery: ‘It Was Really Hard’
Ozempic is a prescription drug for type 2 diabetes that is popularly used for weight loss in Hollywood. The drug is a brand name for semaglutide, also found in the clinical obesity drug Wegovy, which is a GLP-1 receptor that helps reduce appetite.
Speaking about their nutritional balance outside of these aids, Stanbury’s husband Sergio Carrallo explained on the podcast, “We try to keep a balance … if we have a big dinner, we try to fast just a little bit until breakfast.”
He then told Standbury, “With a professional background in sports, I think you’ve found your balance now.”

The Real Housewives of Dubai The announcement of the second season of ‘Desert-Hot Drama’ and shocking new friendships is coming
Stanbury’s detail about using Ozempic comes after she documented her painful recovery from a facelift last year on social media.
The Real Housewives star shocked fans by appearing with bruises around her eyes with a swollen face and bandages wrapped around her head in clips Carrallo posted on Instagram as she returned home from facelift surgery in November 2023.
Carrallo said it was “one of the hardest moments of my life” in the video, as his wife can be seen barely moving at home and on bed rest after surgery.
“Seeing the person you love with all your heart suffering and in the pain they are… was very difficult,” he wrote on Instagram. “As a husband, I will always support her and be there for her and as much as I was against it, she really wanted to do it. So I was there for her, supporting her and helping her day by day.”
Stanbury appears in the second season of the series RHOD, which premieres Sunday, June 2 at 9:00 PM ET on Bravo. Season 1 can be watched in its entirety on Peacock.
