Mounjaro is a GLP-1 / GIP Receptor Agonist - that means it mimics the actions of your body’s naturally produced GLP-1 and GIP hormones.
When these two are used together they seem to have a synergistic effect that makes them better than a GLP-1 RA alone, such as Wegovy.
Mounjaro:
Supports pancreas to produce insulin and bring BG levels down.
Goes to the stomach and slows gastric emptying.
Goes to the brain and reduces your wanting and cravings for food.
This allows you to achieve a calorie deficit more consistently and lose weight.
Wanna know what else it does?
Let's get into it.

After a gastric sleeve, I took ozempic and saxenda to take off some extra weight - they worked ok. Then I took Mounjaro for 12 months - lost the final 30lb and was thrilled. However, my insurance just declined to continue covering it, and I regained 20 lb in 6 weeks. Very discouraging as I was thrilled with the results. Not sure where to go from here, but I'll see what my physician says about other options. @@justjo7282

For me the best thing about Mounjaro is that its silenced the voices in my head that in the past were sabotaging my weight loss attempts.

[@jamesstricklin4056]

@@dianelengyel568 I’m on it I’m a week and a half in I’m down 11lbs. My advice is to get 10,000 steps in a day lift weights and try to find an active activity (dancing, disc golf, swimming). Most importantly is diet I’m currently fasting until the afternoon and when I do eat it’s some form of low calorie meat. Really the only carbs I get is a cup of rice or protein bars. The best way to make this diet sustainable after weight loss is to have one day out of the week where you can let loose. SUSTAINABILITY IS KEY!!! The reason I know this works is bc I’ve lost 180lbs total in the past but bc of just life in general I gained some weight back. I have found it really hard to just get it off one last time.

Unfortunately because of this I've not been able to be as active and hit a stall and even gained a bit back as I've had some depression due to my knee. I've been considering Mounjaro as my insurance covers it and I feel it can help me in many ways. My cholesterol is still high and I'm on multiple BP medicines. Prediabetic and slight sleep apnea. I feel it can help in all of those areas and also prevent further knee (and back as I have a herniated disc) damage in the long run. I was hesitant based on some articles I've read but your video has reassured me and I may ask my doctor for a prescription. I already meal prep and eat clean so I think I'd see success. Thanks again!!

@@AuditClerk its not the kidneys. Everything checked out good. The back pain is middle to upper back. It just burns like if you've been working out until burnout. It just feels tired all the time if i walk around or stand up for a while. I never had back pain before i started taking mounjaro. I go to the gym all the time and even then my back didn't burn. They tell me to take something for the pain like ibuprophen but i dont want to take something on top of what i already take. So i just deal with it. I'm at 175 lbs from 205 lbs so I'm good with that.

[@AuditClerk]

@@RamonVazquez-kn4id I'm very glad to learn it's not your kidneys and that everything checked out! I appreciate you bringing this to our attention as a side effect ... it's really helpful, though understandably painful for you. I completely understand not wanting to take Ibuprofen - I'd be the same. I really hope it eases up for you! And congratulations to you on your significant weight loss ... I wish you all the very best on your wellness journey!

Interesting video with useful info.

Amazing information 👌🏾 i got myself one. I'm just a little scared to take it as i got high blood pressure. Do i continue with my tablets also?. And is it more wise to take multi vitamins with this medication?

I've been on this but had horrific side effects including pancreatitis. People ignore the risks

[@Christina.N.]

Did your symptoms resolve after stopping?

[@MsCubanmex]

What does were you on when pancreatitis occured and how how far along were you when it happened? I'm currently on week 3 of 2.5mg and I have injected my 4th dose when I was supposed to, because I got scared about a sudden stomach discomfort/pain I got on my upper epi gastric area. I went and paid to get a lipase blood test done today to see if I have pancreatitis.

[@ximena110]

Excellent review. The knowledgeable simplicity I was looking for. Thanks doc!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank for sharing 😊

[@jenniferwillis9122]

After the first dose of mounjaro I realized that my arthritis pain in my joints which I've had for years was completely gone. I can go upstairs with ease whereas before I struggled greatly. I have been prescribed arthritis drugs off and on in the past and got zero relief. What is happening??

[@Krzysztex]

How expensive is this in America? I see people talking about coverage and whatnot. Here in Poland it costs about 80USD per 15 mg vial. No matter if you’re insured or not.

[@JessicaManguera-qe7wr]

it's 110$/ month with good insurance, but there is a coupon from lilly and it goes down to 25$

[@Conservativelady]

Hi Dr, can I take this medication without gallbladder? Thanks

[@mayerzukerman243]

How long does one typically need to take this medication for Insulin Resistance?

[@TheAlejandra8814]

Forever as upkeep

[@belindaallen654]

Experienced a big lump and hoarseness in my throat. Very painful for a few minutes. It happened seemingly out of nowwhere. I swallowed a couples of times and the feeling disappeared. Reocurrurring later with the feeling of swelling in the throat. This was very scary as I have only been on my medication for about a month at only a 2.5 dose . I have had my thyroid tested in the past with no issues. However, my family members who have had issues with their thyroid. Sincerely concerned, even this medication has been working great otherwise.

[@PouraniiEskandari-cq5jm]

Is Mounjaro now covers by insurance for weight loss?

[@yosemitemiddleschool8471]

I just started taking Mounjaro, but my vision is really blurry...does this mean that I need to stop taking it or is it just temporary? It is really driving me crazy...It almost makes it impossible for me to walk sometimes.

[@vampi2026]

It could be your vision has corrected now that you have less glucose in your blood.

[@vampi2026]

Get an eye exam and check your prescription or update it.

[@nedamobasher8527]

Can I ask a question? I’m opposite diabetic. I normally have low blood sugar specially in the morning or after exercise. I’m slightly overweight and would like to take Mounjaro but I’m worried about my low blood sugar levels

[@shazanakhan9807]

Started this yesterday. I have 26kg to lose n a diabetic since 2018. I'm buying privately as my dr said all the fatties using it😅 I have lost 31kg pregnancy weight with diet, exercise and intermittent fasting.

[@tarekchebaro9229]

Hey Dr. Ive been on mounjaro 15 mg for the past 1 year and I lost 64 kilos so far. I still have 30 kilos to lose. Im also on 1500 mg metformin a day. For some reason i stopped losing weight and im no longer having appetite suppresion while im still on 15 mg once a week. Im also on TRT. My markers are ok. I take my supplements such as magnesium, neurobion and liver supplement. I feel good but any advice/hack on how i can regain the benefits of mounjaro. Appreciate your content as always

[@cooldadyo]

My doctor took me off Metformin the day I took my first Zepbound Shot. I feel jittery and stressed a little and my sugar is all over the place so hopefully it will balance out

[@theofficialdrdan]

I hope you're doing well!

[@francesferguson-s1z]

Thank you. this was a great summary. I am on 2.5mg and no side effects. I am losing about 4lbs per week. Can you comment on use of metformin and intermittent fasting along with Mounjaro? I actually feel great and am only concerned about getting enough protein.

[@Shimeka478]

I’m excited my pcp gave me a sample box (4) to start in January. He said his office has a representative that comes and brings samples. He assured me when I come for my monthly visit; he would have my next monthly sample. The dosage is 2.5. I have an awesome relationship with my pcp. My insurance wouldn’t cover it.

[@elizabethviars7246]

​@shimekaj4753 How wonderful!!! 🙏 for your success. I'm just starting my journey Wednesday. We got this!!!

[@scraggs11]

If you are worried about your protein intake drink a no dairy diet protein shake for breakfast. 2 scoops = 60-80g

[@PetrolheadsUnleashed110]

Hi all, I am 2nd week into my Mounjaro jab which I bought from online store as in assisting with my weight loss, I was diagnosed with borderline Prediabetic. So far it’s definitely making me feel fuller with and noticed I am eating less.I have combined this with intermittent fasting and high protein diet.I also bought a glucose monitor which I used with my phone app. My average glucose level has been 4.5mmol/L however at night during sleep this dropped to around 3.0mml/L which apparently is too low? Is this cause for concern? After eating high protein breakfast this went up to 5.7mmol/L which normal ramge. My question is, my drop to 3.0mml /L any cause for concern? Or am I falling into trap of over analysis?

[@thomastaylor637]

Excellent Thankyou

[@dawnwilliams8051]

Mounjaro is a lot stronger med and having duel actions! I was a mess. I didn’t read up on it enough before I started it but also blame my endocrinologist PA for not giving any education on it.

[@theofficialdrdan]

Sorry to hear that friend!

[@Dexters.LaBOREatory]

Take accountability for your own health. Do your own research. And stop blaming others.

[@TheAlejandra8814]

I was on Ozempic for threw months. Ended up in the er with gastro issues. Have not had any issues other than burping.

[@stevenbelknap8385]

Given the way this med works why can’t you just eat less. Quit blaming everything on your providers. Exercise and diet is the way to go. Self discipline!!

I was prescribed mounjaro today but not for glucose control. I do have T2D but my A1C is 4.8 as tested in May. My care team is prescribing it more for the cardiovascular protection. Would you recomend this for my situation? I have slightly high blood pressure and normal cholesterol and normal kidney functions.

[@edralls3086]

Does Mounjaro affect the absorption of Warfarin? I have noticed my INR has been higher and not in therapeutic range.

[@theofficialdrdan]

It potentially can. Would get reviewed by your care team!

[@lindamccullough5952]

This video feels very different in tone (as in more positive about the drugs) than previous content. He seemed to feel very suspect and concerned with long term success and efficacy in the past. Am I imagining that?

[@theofficialdrdan]

This drug is showing the best results thus far, and the data in overall efficacy has greatly improved.

[@michaelfelipe6060]

Does Mounjaro cause issues for a person who had the gallbladder removed?

[@theofficialdrdan]

In theory it shouldn't.

[@hotlatte3230]

I think the problems that arise is going on this alone without a doctor, and not regularly checking bloodwork.

[@theofficialdrdan]

That can be part of it.

Is it safe to use loperamide to stop diarrhea from this medication?
