Lizzo turned to 'wood therapy' amid weight-loss journey
The 37-year-old singer has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years, and Lizzo has now revealed the secrets to her weight-loss success, including her use of wood therapy, which involves using wooden tools to apply pressure and manipulate the body.
Alongside a before and after photo, Lizzo wrote on Instagram: "In light of all these magazines and blogs wanting me to be on ozempic soooo bad— here's the truth! I work my a** off, training 3x a week, daily sauna and cardio, adding animal protein back into my diet, hiring a chef who helps me meal prep and keeps track of what I put into my body in a calorie deficit, cutting out sugary Starbucks and full fat sodas and potato chips… I quit drinking for the longest… (but I'm drinking again cus I earned it!)… I play pickleball and hike and walk on the beach and move my body and dance and drink water. I detox! Once a month! (sic)"
Lizzo subsequently revealed that she's embraced wood therapy and lymphatic massages - which move excess fluid away from tissues - as part of her weight-loss efforts.
Her post continued: "I also get holistic body work done, wood therapy, and lymphatic massage. I'm so happy and proud of what I've done and no one can take that away from me."
Meanwhile, Lizzo recently revealed that music has helped her to navigate depression.
Asked about her experience of dealing with depression, Lizzo told Rolling Stone: "My relationship with music was still very intense.
"I still am like, 'Music saved my life,' because there were really dark moments when I was working on Love in Real Life, my album, where I was like, 'Okay, I don't think I can make it through the day, but I have to go to the studio."
Lizzo used to agonise over her lyrics because she feared offending fans. But the singer is now much more comfortable with who she is and how she thinks.
She said: "I always overthink these things because I know who's consuming my music and I'm very [concerned about] how they're going to feel, how it's going to affect them.
"But it's like — to keep it very, very funky with you — everybody's offended by everything today, so it's impossible to not offend somebody. So it's like, just say what you want to say."

Patsy Kensit breaks shoulder in three places
Patsy Kensit has broken her shoulder in "three places". The actress - who was previously married to Oasis star Liam Gallagher - has revealed she suffered a nasty accident in June which left her in need of medical treatment, but she's now "healing" and is hoping a holiday with friends will help her recovery. In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "I broke my shoulder in 3 places 3 weeks ago!!! I'm healing and a slight boogie with my besties I'm staying with this week will be a tonic for sure ... Have a great weekend." Patsy was seen with her arm in a sling as she attended a performance of Fawlty Towers The Play in London's West End on Thursday evening (03.07.25) just 24 hours before her ex Liam was due to take to the stage for his first gig on the Oasis Live '25 Tour at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on Friday (04.07.25). Patsy revealed the former couple's son Lennon will be at the first reunion gig, but she won't be attending. During an interview shown on ITV show Good Morning Britain, Patsy explained: "My 24-year-old son is gonna be there, and gonna have a lovely time, great for him to see all of that. I'm happy for his dad, I think it's a wonderful thing, but I won't be attending ... "I think I've said enough now about that. I send only love and light." Lennon, who was just nine years old when Oasis split in 2009 - has admitted he's going to go to as many tour dates as possible. He added to W magazine: "I can't wait. It's a massive, monumental thing, and it's going to be fantastic." Noel Gallagher's daughter Anais, also 25, will be photographing the Oasis tour and she's admitted she barely remembers their performances when she was a child as she was more interested in the sweet treats they kept backstage. She added to W: "I have memories of being super young at shows and falling asleep with ear defenders on ... The only thing I cared about was how many packets of Milky Way chocolate stars were in the dressing room." The Oasis Live '25 Tour starts in the UK in Cardiff on July 4 and will head to North America, South Korea, Japan, Australia and South America, where it will conclude in Sao Paulo, Brazil on November 25.

Carrie Bickmore sizzles in skimpy bikini while on holiday with Tommy Little
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little have once again fuelled romance rumours after going on holiday together. The pair travelled to Hayman Island with some of their colleagues from the Carrie & Tommy radio show as Bickmore stripped down to a skimpy bikini. Bickmore celebrated the trip away by sharing some pictures of herself showing off her slim physique in a hot pink bikini. Carrie shared a reel of photos from the idyllic getaway, including one where she sizzles in a hot pink-patterned bikini. She also shared a snap of herself in a low-cut dress as she headed to dinner with Little and some of their other radio station colleagues. Carrie Bickmore showed off for fans on social media. Picture: Instagram. Bickmore showed off her curves. Picture: Instagram The celebrity duo have been at the centre of rumours that there's a romance between them for months, with fans believing their on-air back and forth is far too flirty to be platonic. Rumours began after Bickmore split from her second husband, Chris Walker, in January 2023. The pair were together for more than a decade and share two daughters, Evie and Adelaide. Little, who split from ex-girlfriend Natalie Kyriacou in 2021, addressed rumours of a romance between them back in March, denying that there's any kind of spark between them. 'There have been romance rumours about Carrie and I, but unfortunately, because Carrie is in my age bracket (my Tinder age bracket is legal to dead), but I'm not in Carrie's age bracket,' he said. Bickmore and Little were on holiday with some of their colleagues. Picture: Instagram 'She only likes much older, powerful men.' Meanwhile, the pair both recently appeared together on the finale of The Project. The Project's longest-serving host, Bickmore, was close to tears thanking everyone she crossed paths with over 13 years. She left the show to fully devote herself to fundraising efforts for brain cancer. 'It's been ten years since my Gold Logie speech, since I started Carrie's Beanies for brain cancer and I genuinely, I wanted to raise $1m. I would not have raised over $25m if it wasn't for you guys at home watching. So thank you so much.' Comedic regular Little also went on to explain his motivation for joining the show. 'The one thing that I did want to say is to the people back home; my time on the show – which I will be forever grateful for – was just trying to make you laugh.' 'People at home, if you'd often have days where you wouldn't have a laugh – that's all I wanted to give you and I understand that it is a privilege doing what we get to do.'
