Many Hollywood celebrities are now insisting they never used Ozempic, weight loss injections, or surgery.
Instead, they claim their real secret is something far simpler: a little-known "Baking Soda Trick" that has allegedly been passed around quietly among A-list circles for years.
But is that really true?
And more importantly… could this simple morning recipe explain why so many women over 40 are suddenly losing stubborn weight without extreme diets or exhausting workouts?
That's exactly what we set out to investigate.
Over the past few months, this so-called Baking Soda Trick has been gaining attention across America, especially among women who say it helped them "wake up" their body's natural fat-burning signals.
The buzz became even bigger after Dr. Ania Jastreboff, a Yale obesity specialist, was invited for an exclusive interview on Today, alongside Jennifer Mitchell, a 52-year-old mother of three who reportedly lost 47 pounds following the protocol.
During the interview, they revealed the exact step-by-step method that thousands of American women are now following to melt stubborn weight, feel confident in their bodies again, and even go back to wearing bikinis, fitted dresses, and outfits they once thought they'd never wear again.
Sharyn: Good evening, Dr. Ania, Jennifer — thank you both for being here. This week, we received hundreds of messages from viewers saying they saw posts claiming American women over 40 are losing 30, 50, even 60 pounds with the so-called 'Baking Soda Trick.' Is that true, or is it fake news?
Dr. Ania Jastreboff: Most people have heard of GLP-1 and GIP — the hormones behind today's most talked-about weight loss medications. What almost no one realizes is that your own body already produces these hormones naturally. The problem is that, as the years go by, this production can become "dormant" — or too low to deliver visible results.
After 20 years at Yale, I found a simple way to help reactivate that natural production at home — using something as common as baking soda.
This is the same protocol I've been quietly sharing with several famous women in Hollywood over the past year. And Jennifer here is living proof of what can happen when those hormones start working for you again.
Sharyn: That's incredible! Tell us, Jennifer — how much weight did you lose, and what was the process like?
Jennifer Mitchell: Honestly, I was skeptical at first. I had fallen for every weight loss trick out there — the gelatin one, pink salt, all of them. Nothing worked.
But after 30 days on this Baking Soda Trick, I lost 18 pounds — even after three pregnancies.
Sharyn: Can any woman try this at home — and lose weight like Jennifer and the celebrities you mentioned?
Dr. Ania: You probably have at least one of these ingredients in your kitchen right now.
Most women start losing between 5 and 10 pounds in the first week — the belly fat melting away, the scale finally moving after years stuck, and clothes that haven't fit in 10 years sliding back on.
I'm 47 and I use this exact ritual every single morning. It's my secret weapon for staying lean and burning fat 24/7 — without ever stepping in a gym.
I made a short video explaining exactly how to do this at home — the precise ratio of baking soda, what the second ingredient is, the exact dosage, and when to drink it for maximum fat-burning.

For years, I tried everything to lose weight — keto, intermittent fasting, even paid $1,500 a month for Ozempic injections. Nothing worked, or it worked for a few months and the weight came right back. Then I discovered the Baking Soda Ritual. After 3 weeks, my belly started to flatten and the scale finally started moving. My old jeans from 10 years ago fit again. My husband won't stop staring at me.
This simple morning ritual is incredible. In just a few weeks, the belly fat I'd been carrying for 10 years started to melt away. And within 2 months, I dropped 22 pounds without changing a thing about how I eat. And no, it wasn't injections or extreme diets like most people assume. It was all thanks to this simple daily routine I started every morning before breakfast. The before and after photos you see here are the real results of this natural method, just like Dr. Ania explained to me. I truly believe every woman over 40 should try this. Because it really works — and you can feel the difference in just days.
I struggled with stubborn belly fat for years — even going to the gym 5 days a week and eating clean. But the Baking Soda Trick changed everything. In just 7 days, my bloating disappeared and the scale started moving in a way nothing else ever did. Down 14 pounds in a month with zero side effects.
