Serena Williams explained that the medication wasn’t a quick fix, but a way to overcome a physical challenge that she couldn’t solve with effort alone. She says she feels healthier than ever since starting the treatment, with her cholesterol down 30% and a significantly lower risk of heart disease.
She playfully mentioned on a podcast that her joint pain is completely gone – she feels like she has the knees of Megan Thee Stallion! Her former coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, shared that they used to have tough conversations about her weight when she was competing.
He explained that while she was often frustrated, he pushed her because he knew how demanding it was to compete at a high level while carrying extra weight. For Williams, reaching a weight where she feels light and energized is a very meaningful personal achievement.
