The TV personality's eldest child has Prader-Willi syndrome, which sparks a constant desire to eat food and a permanent feeling of hunger which leads to obesity.
In her latest episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, which she hosts with her sister, Sophie, she opened up about Harvey starting on the weight loss jab, Mounjaro, once he gets to his new college.
"So they (the college) want him to settle there for two weeks at least, so they get to know him," Katie told listeners.
"Because they said once they sort of get to know him, you know, when he kicks off all of that.
"So they could keep an eye that when he starts the Mounjaro, they would notice if there's a difference in behaviour, this/that, but because he's near me, I'll be more involved this time, because it's so far here, I'll be seeing him all the time.
Continuing, she said: "I'm having visions (about Harvey), right, that when he starts it, because I'm joining him at the gym, I'm going to get him a boxing trainer, not to be a boxer, but it's good exercise, and I think he'll love it.
"I'm just so fascinated to know what he's gonna look like.
Sophie then asked: "So technically, we're talking what, three weeks until he starts his journey?"
To which Katie replied: "Well, we've got eight (weeks), and then he can start, but I'm trying to make it quicker, because I want him to start it, and I read all these stories on people.
"Remember he's like 30 stones, Sophie, and you hear how these people are in 10 months have lost like six stone, yeah?

"I just can't imagine what he's gonna look like, because I think in his eyes and that he looks like Junior now, like even the clothes I buy him are different.
"I can then go on High Street and dress him more trendy, and he'll have more energy.
"I can't wait to see what he's gonna look like, because we're just used to Big Bear Harvey."
The mum-of-five previously opened up on how Harvey's life was at risk because of his size.
Along with Prader-Willi syndrome, her eldest child battles a series of debilitating conditions including autism, septo-optic dysplasia, ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder.
In a video posted in April, Katie revealed: 'I'm so heartbroken and gutted that his weight is just going up.

'I just googled it in stones, 188kg is just a few kg of being 30 stone.
'It's so life-threatening now, I'm still waiting for the doctors to get back to me starting on the mounjaro and his journey to a healthy life.'
She continued: 'It's so sad his quality of life at the moment where he's so big, he just can't really do much.
'It's just another thing I have to deal with because he's at high risk of having a heart attack, he struggles to put his trainers or struggles to walk anywhere but I love him and I'm going to help him through this.
'So sad, obesity and his condition is sad, it's sad to see someone go through it and he doesn't understand.'
In February Katie told The Sun she consulted top doctors who suggested starting Harvey on the jabs in a bid to improve his chances of living longer.
Harvey's biological dad is former footballer Dwight, 53, dated for a short period between 2000 and 2001, but split shortly after Katie told him she was pregnant.

‘Lost the best friend I ever had': Kelly Osbourne pays tribute to Ozzy
In a heartfelt message posted to her Instagram stories on Thursday, Kelly shared lyrics from the Black Sabbath song Changes, a track she famously re-recorded with her father. Floral tributes are left on the Black Sabbath Bridge bench on Broad Street in Birmingham, following the death of Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, aged 76 (Jacob King/PA) 'I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had,' she wrote next to an emoji of a broken heart. Released in 2003, their reimagined duet hit number one on the UK Singles chart. The duo became only the second father-daughter act to top the chart, following Nancy and Frank Sinatra in 1967. Osbourne's death came a few weeks after he reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates on July 5 to play a farewell gig at Villa Park – a stone's throw from where the band was formed in 1968. After the live performance, Osbourne and his wife Sharon celebrated Kelly's engagement with her long-term partner Sid Wilson, a member of the heavy metal band Slipknot. The day after the gig, Kelly thanked her father's fans for attending his last live performance. She wrote on Instagram: 'To say that yesterday was magic was an understatement! 'Thank you to everyone who came to support my dad. Thank you to the fans who without we are nothing! 'My dad got his moment in the sun! He was able to say thank you and good bye in the most beautiful way!' Tributes to Osbourne were led by his Black Sabbath bandmates, including Terence 'Geezer' Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward, along with celebrity friends including Kiss star Gene Simmons and Queen guitarist Sir Brian May. Ozzy Osbourne performs on stage during the Closing Ceremony for the 2022 Commonwealth Games at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham (David Davies/PA) Earlier on Thursday, Status Quo frontman Francis Rossi spoke on ITV's Good Morning Britain and described Osbourne as 'wild'. He said: 'He was a great young guy. And then obviously, American success got to him, I think. And it gets to a lot of us. You get carried away with all that stuff that one shouldn't. I did and I'm over it.' Osbourne was also described by the Lord mayor of Birmingham, Zafar Iqbal, as a 'proud Brummie' who helped put the city 'on the world map'. Mr Iqbal met the founding members of the heavy metal band, formed in the city in 1968, when they were presented with the freedom of Birmingham in June. He told the PA news agency: 'He (Osbourne) was very important and he was a proud Brummie. He loved the city. He will be much missed, I think, and he was loved by so many people in the city.' Other stars have also honoured the 'Prince of Darkness' by paying tribute to him during live concert performances, including Lady Gaga, Coldplay and Alice Cooper, who praised him for performing until he 'couldn't do it any more'.

12 ways to get your kids to unplug from screens and save money this summer
One of the tips involves playing the "What's Missing" game SCREEN SWAP 12 ways to get your kids to unplug from screens and save money this summer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE summer holidays can be long and expensive – and finding extra money for days out is often tough for families. Occupying children with screen time may feel like the easy option but there are better solutions, as new book How To Unplug Your Child reveals. 1 We reveal tips for keeping the kids occupied without screens this summer Credit: Getty The guide, by parenting expert Liat Joshi, is full of cheap and easy ways to keep kids amused without them getting square eyes. Liat said: 'All the activities are free or require fairly minimal equipment. "Some activities will be one-offs, but hopefully others become firm favourites." Have a bath at the wrong time Having a bath at completely the wrong time of day, with no rush to get to bed afterwards, keeps small children content when it's chucking it down outside and they've already watched quite enough TV. Part of the appeal is that it's completely free — aside from the bath water — and can be done any time, but you can add variety and extra interest by buying some cheap, non-toxic bath goo, crayons or special mouldable foam soap. What you'll need: A bath Some waterproof toys and containers Create a time capsule Give your child a box file to decorate and fill it with lists of their dreams and goals to open 10 years later. They can also add photos and mementos of their life. It must then be well sealed and hidden away by a parent ready to be opened in the future. Freebies for parents worth £2,900 What you'll need: Pens and paper A box Sticky tape Some photos Photoshoot with friends Stage a themed photoshoot where kids have to gather props and costumes, and make a temporary backdrop on a wall or booth. This requires plenty of preparation, and you can theme the shoot around vintage, grunge, silly hats, clashing clothing or maybe a favourite book or film. What you'll need: A white bed sheet, or large roll of paper for the backdrops Fabric/marker pens to make scenes Masks, specs, interesting tops – try raiding the charity shop or their grandparents' attics For a simple alternative, everyone draws a face/shoulders self-portrait on A4 paper then positions it in front of their face for a snap Power off for a night As a one-off, powering down gadgets , lights and the TV can tick boxes for its novelty factor. Allow only wind-up torches and candles (supervised for younger ones), then grab a pack of cards or some board games and tell spooky stories. If the budget allows, have a takeaway dinner — after all, the oven will be out of bounds, too. What you'll need: Candles and torches Games that don't require mains electricity - a lesson for kids on how reliant we have become on it Film your own music video Putting together a music video lets kids explore their style while they rock on. They can choose outfits, come up with a dance routine, mime a favourite soundtrack or sing or play instruments if they have them. Alternatively, they could make their own cardboard instruments or fire up the 'air guitar'. What you'll need: Instruments and soundtracks, if appropriate Outfits and accessories Materials and props to make a set A camera for filming Garden camping Enjoy all the upsides of camping (the fresh air and the novelty!) minus the communal bathrooms and forgetting to take the tent pegs. An evening toasting marshmallows on a campfire or barbecue and telling stories by torchlight has a fighting chance of getting kids to leave those screens inside (hide them and turn your router off if necessary). What you'll need: A garden or, if you don't have one, persuade the grandparents or some friends to host Typical camping gear - buy second-hand or borrow to cut costs Water fun Grab some water pistols, soak a few kitchen sponges in a bucket, make water balloons, turn that garden sprinkler on (provided there isn't a hosepipe ban), then chuck the kids outside in their swimwear on a hot day and await the soggy mayhem. What you'll need: Water pistols, balloons, sponges, hosepipe and sprinkler Towels for afterwards For more fun, see how many times each water balloon can be thrown before it bursts The 'What's Missing' game Collect at least 10 random, small objects on a tray, ask one player to study them, then remove one item when they aren't looking and ask them to identify what has disappeared. Encourage children to find several similar, but slightly different, items to add to the challenge. What you'll need: A tray and some objects You can also do this on a whole room scale – ask a player to step outside then move or hide an item. Trail about town Write clues and riddles about the local area which lead players to a mystery destination, such as a cafe or ice cream parlour. What you'll need: Imagination to write the clues An accompanying adult for each team of younger children This can also liven up sightseeing on holidays or days out Head off on a night hike a forest A forest or woodland comes alive in a different way after sunset. Creep around by torchlight and see if there are nocturnal creatures about. Look at how very different things seem by moonlight and marvel at the starry sky. This is better suited for older children as little ones might be too weary by bedtime. What you'll need: Torches A suitable location The opportunity to sleep later Whatever the season and weather, there are different sights and sounds to be seen and heard after dark compared to day. Geocaching This modern take on a treasure hunt is a popular way to liven up hiking, as you search for a "cache" hidden by others. When you find it, sign the logbook, take an item and replace it with one you have brought along. There are lots of caches around and each has information online, often with details of whether it's child-friendly and the difficulty of finding it. Although geocaching requires the use of a gadget, it helps the user get out in the real world. It's a wonderful family activity, but older teens can do it, too. What you'll need: A geocache app and GPS facility on a smartphone A 'cache' item, such as a small pack of cards or toy, to replace the one you take (or you can just leave the original behind) Visit a 'Pick your own' Farm Treat kids to some fresh air and a reminder that food doesn't magically appear on supermarket shelves, all in one package. "Pick your own' fruit and veg farms are at their best in summer and early autumn, and most provide information on what's available for harvesting. Even better, the produce is fresh. What you'll need: Some money to pay for produce – most farms provide bags or containers containers Suggest older offspring research dishes they can cook with the fruit or veg they picked. This is an edited extra taken from How To Unplug Your Child: 101 Ways To Help Kids Turn Off Their Gadgets And Enjoy Real Life, by Liat Joshi (Vie, £7.99).
