Jon Gosselin’s 50-pound weight loss is doing more for him than transforming his physique.
The “Jon & Kate Plus 8” star boasted that his sex life with his girlfriend, Stephanie Lebo, is “better than ever” and credited testosterone injections and body-contouring treatments for the changes.
“I saw muscle development that was better, energy levels were increasing, my sex life was increasing — sex has been better than ever,” he told the US Sun Wednesday, “and I just I felt like I wanted to; I feel like I did years ago.”
Gosselin, 47, explained that he had extremely low testosterone levels, so physicians advised he begin injecting himself with the hormone.
“If your testosterone’s low — like mine was 200 — and your average is between 800 and 1,100, then no matter how hard you work out, you still store fat in your body,” he explained. “You’re just not gaining muscle.”
When the father of eight began to lose weight, he turned to CellSound treatments to help tighten up the loose skin he had developed.
“I focused on my abdomen area because when I was losing so much weight. … It’s flabby and stuff like that,” he said, adding that he also used semaglutide — the generic for celebrity-beloved Ozempic — to shed pounds.
“Overall, I probably feel the best I’ve ever felt in a long, long time, probably since my 20s, before TV,” Gosselin said.
“And I don’t know. I’m always excited, and I feel like 18 again. It’s way different.”
The former reality star, who was married to Kate Gosselin from 1999 to 2009, said the semaglutide has helped him maintain his diet, which fell apart when he quit his day job to become a DJ.
“I don’t eat like I used to at all, and I definitely don’t drink pretty much at all, definitely not during the week,” he told the outlet. “Even with my gigs and stuff like that … it’s been a totally different lifestyle.”
Lebo said her beau’s health journey also has had a positive effect on her life because she has dropped several pounds following his regimen.
“He knows that I liked him at any size, but I am very proud of him,” she said. “It’s been a whole transformation in the house, too. You know, I lost weight dieting with him, so I can’t say it was a bad thing.”
