Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist originally developed for type 2 diabetes. It works by improving insulin sensitivity, slowing gastric emptying and reducing appetite, leading to sustainable weight loss.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Results vary by individual. Clinical studies have shown average weight loss of 15-20% of body weight over 72 weeks. We will set realistic expectations based on your health profile.

Are there any side effects?

The most common side effects are mild nausea, reduced appetite and digestive changes, especially in the first few weeks. These typically improve as your body adjusts. All protocols are doctor-supervised.

Who is Mounjaro suitable for?

Mounjaro is suitable for adults with a BMI of 27+ who are looking for medically supervised weight management. A consultation and baseline blood work are required before starting.

How is it administered?

It is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection using a pre-loaded pen. We provide 1:1 training on your first visit so you can self-administer at home.

Evidence and Research

• In the SURMOUNT-1 trial, participants on the 15mg Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) weekly dose lost an average of 20.9% of body weight over 72 weeks compared to 3.1% on placebo (Jastreboff et al., N Engl J Med, 2022).
• Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, which differs from single-pathway agonists like semaglutide and is associated with stronger metabolic effects in head-to-head trials (Frias et al., N Engl J Med, 2021).
• Gradual titration is standard practice to reduce gastrointestinal side effects, which are most common in the first 4 to 8 weeks.

"Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) is the most effective metabolic weight loss tool I have worked with, but it is a medication, not a supplement. The clients who do best are the ones who respect the titration schedule and show up for bloodwork"
