RuPaul’s Drag Race Peppermint Shows Off 100 Lb Weight Loss

Peppermint came to fame in Season 7 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. She came so close to winning the season but ended as the runner-up. That is still an amazing feat and she was a force to be reckoned with. Her career has been a dream as she was asked to be a part of All Stars but had to decline. This was because Peppermint had committed to a Broadway show so she was very busy. She has kept herself busy working in the fabulous nightlife of New York City. Plus, she was on Season 2 of The Traitors US but was banished in Episode 2 despite being a Faithful.

Viewers may also know her from the hit TLC series, I Am Jazz. She has recurred on the show since 2020 and is close friends with the family. More so, she has helped Jazz Jennings through different procedures and is an amazing support system. Now, Peppermint has gone and changed her own life by getting her health under control. While doing so, she dropped one hundred pounds which is absolutely amazing. It started when she learned she was pre-diabetic. Eventually, she knew that something had to be done so she began a weight loss drug.

The RuPaul’s Drag Race runner-up shared how she worked with a team of doctors to get her where she needed to be. This was a special moment for her as she noted she previously lacked good, life-saving health care:

“I was able to get together with my doctor and endocrinologist, and I’m very grateful that I’m at a point now where I have access to levels of healthcare that I didn’t have before.”

Peppermint is well aware that not everyone in her position does not have the same access but she is grateful she was able to get the help she needed.

A Whole New Outlook

Now that she has dropped the pounds, Peppermint has a whole new outlook on life. Things have changed for the better and she is truly living her best life. She has had to purchase new ensembles to accommodate the weight loss but, above all, she is now healthy, away from the threat of diabetes:

“I was really worried that my life was going to change irreversibly once I crossed that threshold. I was hovering around that threshold for so long, and I’m happy that I’m not now.”

Luckily, the RuPaul’s Drag Race alum does not have a warped self-image now that she is virtually unrecognizable. Rather, she feels so much healthier and is not struggling to do everyday activities. Peppermint’s next venture will be at the Love Rocks NYC benefit alongside big names such as Alicia Keys, Beck, Cher, Kate Hudson, and Peter Frampton.
