I wanted to try it myself, cause I wanted to recommend it to my friends who are like nurses and teachers.”In addition to the injectable medication, which is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes, the “Trainwreck” star has a new routine which includes hormones.“They put me on estrogen and progesterone because I realized I was in perimenopause and my symptoms of being in perimenopause have disappeared,” Schumer said. “My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy, I want to get down more if you know what I mean – I’m talking about sex.”She added, “So that’s been great, Mounajro’s been great … I’m having a really good experience with it and I wanted to keep it real with you about that.”Schumer admitted she had such a good experience with the telemedicine company that she also invested in MidiHealth.
