Transcript

00:00 John Gosselin has hopped on the Ozembic bandwagon.

00:04 During an April 25th interview with Page Six,

00:07 the former reality star reveals he's been on the semiglutide medication since February

00:12 and is already seeing big results, saying,

00:15 "It's really nice because it helped me stop drinking,

00:18 and it helped me get my appetite under control with less eating.

00:21 I was able to really refocus my diet that way.

00:24 I just focused on consuming what I need to consume in a healthy manner."

00:29 And it appears the new healthy diet is paying off,

00:32 with the dad of eight sharing that he's already lost 32 pounds in just under three months.

00:37 Semiglutide medications like Ozembic, which were introduced to help those with diabetes,

00:42 have soared in popularity in recent years with people looking to lose weight.

00:47 However, John admits he does have one regret,

00:50 not starting his weight loss journey earlier, saying,

00:53 "You know what's annoying? The regret of not starting it 10 years ago.

00:57 I feel amazing. Like, why didn't I do this sooner?

01:01 Maybe it wasn't the right time. A lot of things were going on emotionally.

01:04 It just wasn't a good time in my life. But now I finally have time to focus on myself."

01:10 E! News caught up with the 47-year-old at the grand opening

01:13 of the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center's new West Hollywood location earlier this week,

01:18 where he dished more secrets about his ongoing health journey.

01:22 "In Pennsylvania, I've got to cook my own food,

01:24 so I've really slimmed my diet down to pretty much like proteins,

01:28 and I'm probably eating like 200 grams of protein a day, so, and like 1,200 calories, so."

01:33 "Keep it nice, keep it tight, all right.

01:36 How would you describe this current chapter in your life,

01:38 because you have been in front of the cameras for years?"

01:42 "I'm the first, no. Kind of the first, but, you know,

01:47 my life's been up and down for a while, and then it plateaued,

01:51 and I just went to work, but like with rejuvenation,

01:55 Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center, it was like something that was missing in my life.

01:59 Like I didn't understand like weightlifting, and it never concerned me.

02:03 What concerned me were my labs, when Dr. Allain gave me my labs,

02:06 I'm like, yeah, I got to do something, because, I mean, my dad died young,

02:10 and his father died young, so, I mean, I want to break that trend, so.

02:16 I just got more concerned about those kind of things."
