Scott Disick has quit using weight-loss medications after his teenage son forced him to take “responsibility” for sparking widespread concern about his extreme diet.
Scott’s health was called into question earlier this year when the 41-year-old was photographed looking noticeably slimmer, with many fans wondering if he had turned to Ozempic.
However, eagle-eyed viewers later spotted boxes of the wonder weight-loss drug that Mounjaro stocked in her refrigerator during an episode of The Kardashians.
After multiple attempts by loved ones to help the reality star curb her use, inside sources told DailyMail.com that it was 14-year-old Mason’s decision to move in with her father that finally forced the founder from Talentless to make a change.
“Scott had to go off weight loss medications and Mason was the main reason,” the source said. “Having Mason move in with him full-time has been a game-changer.”

They explained that Mason had no problem speaking his mind and criticizing his father during his struggles.
“It’s made him face a level of responsibility he’s never had before, and it’s been an incredibly positive experience,” they said.
‘They are like best friends. Before this, Scott was struggling, but Mason calls him out.
Living with his teenage son also led Scott to evaluate what kind of example he was setting for the three children he shares with ex-girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian, 45.
“Scott is trying to teach Mason how to be healthy and live a healthy lifestyle and he needs to lead by example,” the source continued.
“Mason is at an age where he can’t tolerate everything and is incredibly intelligent.”
The source confirmed that Scott has officially stopped relying on weight loss coups and has a personal chef to help him monitor his food intake.
“Now he looks good and feels good,” they said. “Instead of his personal chef preparing unhealthy food, his chef cooks healthy dishes and Scott has gotten used to it.”

Mason, 14, played a key role in Scott’s decision to stop using the popular drug Mounjaro, insiders told DailyMail.com (seen October 4).
Scott finally feels so “confident” in himself that dating is “on the table.”
Like the celebrity-favorite Ozempic, Mounjaro is a diabetes medication that has also been used to help people lose weight.
It was on the fifth season premiere episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians in May that Scott inadvertently revealed what appeared to be two packages of Mounjaro in his refrigerator.
The weight loss jab was placed on the door, on top of several neatly arranged cartons of almond milk.
The sighting came after fans commented on Scott’s obvious weight loss after packing on the pounds due to a back injury following a nasty car accident in 2022.
“He thought he looked good because he was thinner again, not realizing that was unhealthy,” a source told DailyMail.com in April.
“Scott has been incredibly handsome and fit all his life and he’s not having a very good time accepting that age is catching up with him.”
Earlier this year, the doting father showed his pride in his oldest son after Mason graduated from eighth grade.

‘Congratulations to my best friend in the world on graduating (sic) from high school and now on high school! Let’s go to the market!’ he captioned the snap.

Although Mason has avoided the spotlight in recent years, the teenager decided to join Instagram in May.
Her aunts Kim and Khloe Kardashian made it clear they didn’t know how to feel about the milestone when Kim commented, “You’re really on Instagram.”
“I can’t believe this is happening,” Khloé, 39, wrote.
“I’m not fine,” he added with crying emojis. ‘He’s a real teenager. The one who calls us KiKi and KoKo.’

Kourtney is currently married to Travis Barker with whom she has a one-year-old son, Rocky.
Scott, who enjoyed a night out in Beverly Hills on Friday, is currently single and dated Sofia Richie and Amelia Hamlin following his split from Kourtney.
