Howery detailed the lifestyle changes that contributed to his renewed vitality, including quitting alcohol, adopting a healthier diet, regular exercise, and improving his mental and spiritual well-being. “To stop drinking, eating better, working out almost every single day, writing, building a closer relationship with God, therapy and honestly accountability has taken my life to the next level of pure happiness.”
The recent chatter around Ozempic, a weekly injection for people with Type 2 diabetes, stems from its increasing use among celebrities for weight management. Though Howery didn’t refer to the medication by name, he insisted he achieved his weight loss through discipline and hard work.
“Whatever you do, please do for yourself and if you can don’t take the short cut really put the work in this is a whole just straight hard work nothing else and that’s the honest to God Truth,” he added. “et me be an example of truly putting the work in.”
His transparency garnered praise from peers in the entertainment industry. “Looking great Rel!” commented comedian Wanda Sykes, while actor Terry Crews added, “You look fantastic man.”
