“RuPaul’s Drag Race” alum Peppermint has lost an astounding 100 pounds on Ozempic.

The performer, who was the runner-up on the ninth season of the reality competition series in 2017, told Page Six exclusively on the Love Rocks NYC red carpet Thursday night that she went on the celebrity-beloved prescription medication because she was “diagnosed as pre-diabetic a couple of years ago.”

Peppermint, 45, admitted she has struggled with her weight over the years and tried to “deal with it through diet and exercise” but “wasn’t that successful.”

And so, the entertainer decided to seek medical help.

“I was able to get together with my doctor and endocrinologist, and I’m very grateful that I’m at a point now where I have access to levels of healthcare that I didn’t have before,” she told us, acknowledging that many others “don’t have access to that.”

Peppermint said she has noticed her massive weight loss because her “clothes are fitting differently” and she has “had to buy some new” options for her wardrobe.

But the most important thing for the “Traitors” Season 2 competitor is that she is no longer pre-diabetic.

“I was really worried that my life was going to change irreversibly once I crossed that threshold,” she explained. “I was hovering around that threshold for so long, and I’m happy that I’m not now.”

Therefore, Peppermint said slimming down has not changed the way she feels about herself.

“I feel like the same person,” she said before noting that one benefit is feeling “younger.”

“I feel like I can walk up the steps a little easier and not be like, ‘Oh, my knee!’”

The singer, who is transgender, also lamented that she is not sure how much longer she will have access to healthcare due to the Trump administration targeting her community.

“It’s a rough time, certainly, feels very heavy,” she shared, adding, “I don’t want to lose access to my healthcare or my housing, and I don’t want to be persecuted for being trans. This is who I am.”

Peppermint was just one of the bold-faced names at the Love Rocks NYC concert. Other celebs, including Amy Schumer, Susie Essman, Bill Murray and Tracy Morgan, saw a cavalcade of performers help raise more than $4 million for God’s Love We Deliver.

The star-studded lineup included Alicia Keys, Beck, Cher, Kate Hudson, Peter Frampton and Dave Stewart.
