Fact check: What wellness products did Lean Drops and Dr Ania promote with Oprah Winfrey?

Checked on August 29, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, there is no evidence that Lean Drops and Dr. Ania promoted any wellness products together with Oprah Winfrey. The sources consistently show that none mention Lean Drops in connection with Oprah or Dr. Ania [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9].

However, the analyses do reveal that Dr. Ania Jastreboff, a Yale researcher, has had documented conversations with Oprah Winfrey about GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound for weight loss and obesity treatment [7] [8]. These are legitimate pharmaceutical medications, not wellness products from a company called "Lean Drops."

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The question appears to be based on a false premise. The analyses reveal important missing context:

  • Oprah Winfrey has actively warned fans against falling victim to companies selling weight loss products using her name and image [2]
  • There are documented cases of fraudulent endorsements using fake Oprah personas to sell supplements, including instances where expensive supplements turned out to be common spices [3]
  • Scammers benefit financially from creating false associations between celebrities like Oprah and dubious wellness products
  • The legitimate connection is between Oprah and Dr. Ania Jastreboff discussing FDA-approved GLP-1 medications for obesity treatment, not promotional wellness products [7] [8]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains significant misinformation by suggesting a promotional relationship that does not exist. This type of question benefits:

  • Fraudulent supplement companies that profit from creating false celebrity endorsements
  • Scammers who use fabricated connections to legitimate medical professionals and celebrities to sell unregulated products

The question conflates legitimate medical discussions between Oprah and Dr. Jastreboff about prescription medications with non-existent promotional activities for "Lean Drops" wellness products. This pattern matches known scam tactics where fake endorsements are created to exploit Oprah's trusted public image for financial gain [2] [3].
