Scott Disick kicked his use of weight loss drugs after his teenage son forced him to take ‘accountability’ for sparking widespread concern over his extreme dieting.
Scott’s health was called into question earlier this year when the 41-year-old was pictured looking noticeably thinner, with many fans questioning if he had turned to Ozempic.
However, eagled-eyed viewers later spotted boxes of the weight loss wonder drug Mounjaro stocked up in his fridge during an episode of The Kardashians.
Following multiple reported attempts by loved ones to help the reality star curb his use, insiders have told DailyMail.com that it was 14-year-old Mason’s decision to move in with his father that finally forced the Talentless founder to make a change.
‘Scott had to kick the weight loss drugs and Mason was the main reason why,’ the source said. ‘Having Mason move in with him full time has been a complete game changer.’

They explained that Mason had no issue speaking his mind and calling out his father during his struggles.
‘It has caused him to face a level of accountability that he has never had before, and it has been an incredibly positive experience,’ they said.
‘They are like best friends. Prior to this, Scott was struggling, but Mason calls him out.’
Living with his teenage son also prompted Scott to assess what kind of example he was setting to the three children he shares with ex-girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian, 45.
‘Scott is trying to teach Mason how to be healthy and lead a healthy lifestyle and must lead by example,’ the insider continued.
‘Mason is at the age where he does not tolerate everything, and he is incredibly smart.’
The insider confirmed that Scott has officially kicked his reliance on the weight loss jabs and has a personal chef to help him monitor his food intake.
‘Now he is looking good and feeling good,’ they said. ‘Instead of having his personal chef make unhealthy foods, his chef cooks healthy dishes and Scott has gotten used to it.’

Mason, 14, played a key part in Scott’s decision to halt his use of popular medication, Mounjaro, insiders have told DailyMail.com (seen on October 4)
Scott is finally feeling so ‘confident’ in himself that dating is very much ‘on the table.’
Much like the celebrity favorite Ozempic, Mounjaro is a diabetes medication that has also been used to help people shed the pounds.
It was the season five premiere episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians back in May that saw Scott inadvertently reveal what appeared to be two packages of Mounjaro in his fridge.
The weight loss jab was sat on the door above several neatly-arranged cartons of almond milk.
The sighting came after fans had commented on Scott’s obvious weight loss after piling on the pounds due to a back injury following a nasty car crash in 2022.
‘He thought he looked good because he was thinner again – not realizing that this was not healthy,’ an insider told DailyMail.com back in April.
‘Scott has been incredibly attractive and fit his entire life and is not having the best time accepting that age is catching up with him.’
Earlier this year, the doting dad showcased his pride for his eldest child after Mason graduated from 8th grade.

The TV star shared a photo with the young teen and a friend standing in front of Nobu Malibu.
‘Congratulations 2 my best friend in the world for graduatuating [sic] middle school and now on to high school! Let’s go mart!,’ he captioned the snap.
Scott and Kourtney are also parents to daughter Penelope, 12, and son Reign, nine.
Though Mason has shied away from the limelight in recent years, the teenager chose to join Instagram back in May.
His aunts Kim and Khloe Kardashian made it clear that they didn’t know how to feel about the milestone as Kim commented: ‘You’re really on Instagram.’
‘I can’t believe this is happening,’ wrote Khloe, 39.
‘I am sort of not ok,’ she added with crying emojis. ‘He’s a real teenager. The one who names us KiKi and KoKo.’

Kourtney and Scott made Mason delete an account in 2020 when he joined without their permission.
His TikTok account was also previously disabled for violating their terms of service as users are required to be 13 or older, and Mason was 10 at the time.
Kourtney is currently married to Travis Barker with whom she has one-year-old son Rocky.
Scott, who enjoyed a night out in Beverly Hills on Friday, is currently single having dated Sofia Richie and Amelia Hamlin in the wake of his split from Kourtney.
