Radio Star Reveals Shocking Price of Celebrity Weight Loss Drug

BBG News

On air on Wednesday, Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli confessed that he had been using a costly drug for weight loss, popular among celebrities.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I can’t help but share this: Over the years, I’ve openly struggled with my weight, much like my favorite radio host at Nova. Recently, in a heartfelt conversation with his trusted co-host Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald, he revealed that a physician has prescribed him the drug Mounjaro to aid in his health journey.

Wippa started by saying, “Just wanted to share some health news. Recently, I visited the doctor due to a few concerns and he advised me to weigh myself.

The 45-year-old mentioned that his weight was greater than anticipated, leading to him being given a medication for weight loss called Mounjaro – a rival product to Ozempic.

Instead of focusing on the exact quantity, let me tell you it was a three-digit figure. I’ve had this situation before, and my doctor mentioned the possibility of prescribing medication for me.

After that, Wippa mentioned that the doctor informed him that Mounjara was superior to Ozempic since it enabled individuals to attain their weight loss objectives without experiencing undesirable side effects.

You take it orally, like a pill. Mounjaro and Ozempic are medications that help reduce blood sugar levels in individuals when used along with a balanced diet. They also have an effect of reducing your hunger.

Instead of constantly snacking during the day, he shared that taking the drug had made it easier for him to feel full from his morning bowl of cereal right up until lunchtime.

Wippa then said the one downside to the drug was its very expensive cost.

Wippa mentioned, “The pen costs $350, plus a month’s medication, which amounts to $350. I required a new pen, and the pharmacist ended up charging me $580.

In simpler terms, after wrapping up, the presenter who hails from Melbourne advised that although the drug greatly enhanced his life, he suggested individuals compare prices to find the best bargain available.

Wippa and his wife Lisa have been open about his health struggles in the past.

He has three kids together with Lisa, aged 41, who discussed their choice of sleeping apart, which they made public in the year 2023.

Initially, they shared details of their unusual sleeping setup during an interview with Body+Soul. In this arrangement, each has a separate bed and at night, they each retreat to their individual private bedrooms.

In conversation with The Daily Telegraph, Lisa shared that the tradition originated when their kids were still quite young.

‘Now I love it so much that I can’t go back,’ she told the publication.

One cause of them sleeping separately is Wippa’s suspected sleep apnea, which required testing at that time. Lisa mentioned that he might eventually sleep with a Darth Vader-like mask on due to this condition.

She expressed that it’s far more desirable for him to be a healthy individual, rather than risk developing a brain aneurysm due to insufficient oxygen supply.

Sleep apnoea occurs when a person’s throat is partly or completely blocked while they are asleep.

The individual’s airways are managed through the use of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure device (CPAP), which delivers pressurized air into a face mask, maintaining an open throat position during sleep by providing support.

Lisa explained that she’s a very light sleeper who stirs at even the faintest sound. That’s why she enjoys having a completely quiet environment for a full night’s rest.

She shared that effectively, we’re sleeping separately, and I want to emphasize, your mood significantly improves when you enjoy high-quality rest.
