Media personalities Tallia Oyando and Grace Msalame have shared their experiences with Ozempic, revealing how the treatment played a major role in their health journeys. Tallia recently showcased a noticeably leaner frame on social media, prompting fans to speculate about the method behind her transformation. She explained that her decision to focus on health was driven by a knee injury, which led doctors to advise weight loss to avoid surgery and better manage her condition.
Tallia emphasised that her weight loss journey was guided by medical necessity rather than aesthetics. She began receiving semaglutide shots, commonly known as Ozempic, to manage health issues including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). She noted that Ozempic helped regulate her menstrual cycles, saying she had enjoyed her periods for the past three months. She cautioned that responses vary between individuals, explaining that she only experienced mild headaches and blurry vision after the first shot, which resolved quickly.
Grace Msalame echoed the importance of medical guidance, highlighting the emotional and psychological support provided during treatment. She explained that participating in group sessions with other women helped her realise she was not alone, reinforcing the value of community in health journeys. Both women stressed that anyone considering Ozempic should seek professional advice and avoid clinics advertised online with heavy discounts, as safety and supervision are crucial.
The cost of Ozempic weight loss in Kenya varies, with some clinics charging around KSh 65,000 per month. Influencer Pritty Vishy shared her experience, noting the price reduction from KSh 75,000 for a limited period. She continues her injections until reaching her target weight of 70 kg, despite criticism from online viewers. Tallia and Grace’s stories highlight that while Ozempic can be effective, medical oversight and community support remain key for safe and sustainable results.
