Amy Schumer is embracing the final weeks of summer by celebrating her recent health transformation. The 45-year-old comedian recently posted a series of bikini photos on Instagram, displaying her physical progress while relaxing by the water.
Wearing a colorful two-piece swimsuit, Schumer smiled for the camera and gave her followers a look into her recent vacation. "I never knew there would be days like this," she captioned the post. "No filter as per ushe."
The social media update quickly gathered positive feedback from both her fans and celebrity friends. Actress Kate Walsh showed her support by commenting, "So beautiful, Amy. Happy and thriving."
The post marks another moment where the actress has chosen to speak openly about her body image and health management.
Schumer has spent the last two years discussing the realities of her weight-loss experiences, sharing the positive results alongside the difficult side effects.
In March 2025, she uploaded a video addressing her experience with the medication Mounjaro and detailing her past struggles with other injectables.
"I wanted to share and keep it 100 with you, that years ago - and yes, this is completely unsafe to be driving and making a video - years ago, three years ago, I tried Wegovy and I was like puking," Schumer told her followers.
She added that she eventually sought out alternative care options to see what would work for her body. "I couldn't handle it. I don't know if they've changed the formula or whatever… but anyway, I went on this telehealth meeting with MidiHealth, and it was cheap. I wanted to try it myself, cause I wanted to recommend it to my friends who are like nurses and teachers."
In addition to navigating these treatments, she addressed her perimenopause symptoms by starting a new hormone routine. "They put me on estrogen and progesterone because I realized I was in perimenopause and my symptoms of being in perimenopause have disappeared," she noted.
Finding a workable routine required significant trial and error for the star. During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, the comedian explained how her genetic makeup caused severe reactions to certain popular weight-loss drugs.
"I have this gene - GDF15 - which makes you extremely prone to nausea, which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy. So, I tried Ozempic almost three years ago and I was like bedridden, I was vomiting, and then you have no energy but other people take it, and they're all good," she stated.
Although the physical changes happened rapidly, the toll on her daily life was too high. "I lost 30 pounds so quick," said Schumer, who is mom to four-year-old son Gene, whom she shares with ex-husband, Chris Fischer. "I looked great, and I couldn't lift my head off the pillow, so what's the point?"
Beyond her weight-loss experiences, Schumer has routinely used her platform to bring attention to various women's health issues.
In February 2024, she shared her Cushing syndrome diagnosis after observers noted changes in her face, later calling the medical discovery a blessing because it helped pinpoint the root cause of her symptoms.
She has also spoken openly about her struggles with endometriosis and her 2021 hysterectomy, consistently using her public profile to normalize discussions about medical challenges.
