“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Margaret Josephs shared she lost 22 pounds in a February 2023 interview on the “Two Ts In A Pod” podcast, hosted by “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Tamra Judge and “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Teddi Mellencamp.
Josephs revealed “there’s a lot of secrets” to her recent weight loss. The mother of one explained that she came across a Town & Country article about “a wellness clinic” that offers peptide therapy. According to WebMD, some research indicated “certain types” of peptides could possibly be beneficial for an individual’s weight.
Josephs shared that she decided to go to the wellness clinic and currently takes her “own little cocktail of peptides,” which “are shots.” She also clarified that she is not taking Ozempic.
“Ozempic is a brand of a semaglutide, which is a peptide, I’m not going to say – one of them is a version of a semaglutide but [my doctor] does his own mixture, one is for your muscle mass to maintain muscle mass, one is for joints, whatever ails you, so his is more of a wellness thing, mine is a big combination that I’ve been doing since April [2022],” explained Josephs.
Josephs also noted that she exercises by walking and using her Peloton bike.
“I do the Peloton, I walk, I do things like that, I should be more like [Judge] and be more of a gym person and I’m not,” stated the 55-year-old.
The RHONJ star also disclosed that she is content with her current weight.
“I’m not going to lose any more,” stated the fashion designer.
