A short conversational YouTube clip in which Josh Trent and another speaker discuss the phenomenon called "Ozempic face," attributing it to rapid loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia), reduced water and collagen, and malnutrition from semaglutide use. The speaker emphasizes that losing weight is not the goal—optimal body composition is, i.e., preserving or improving lean body mass and water while losing fat—and claims to have a formula to achieve that rather than relying on semaglutide alone.

Have you seen the Ozempic face? It's where the face is all sunken in because there's so much atrophy. They're losing so much muscle mass so quickly.
You know, I went on CBS MORNING News Live and they asked me how is this working? Is it healthier? And I had to be very careful with my words. Losing weight is not the goal. It's optimal body composition and people will lose weight fast on this. They're not eating, they're malnourished. It's going to change the collagen. The water is going to go down and muscle mass, it's called sarcopenia, is going to go down. That's not the goal. The goal is is maintain or even grow or improve lean body mass and muscle, maintain water and lose fat. And there is a formula for that. I have the formula. I use it and I promote it with everybody. That is not the formula using just semaglutide to lose weight.
