What is Mounjaro and how does it work?
Mounjaro is a once-weekly injectable medication that mimics two hormones (GLP-1 and GIP). These hormones help regulate blood sugar and reduce appetite. It was originally approved for managing type 2 diabetes, but Mounjaro is also now approved (and widely used) off-label for weight loss. It works by slowing down digestion, increasing feelings of fullness, and helping your body respond more effectively to insulin.
Real Mounjaro patients' 1 month results
We analyzed data from patients after their first month (4 weekly doses) of Mounjaro. Here’s what we found:
- Dose = 2.5mg (this is the starting dose for all patients)
- Sample size: 1029 patients
- Average 1 month weight loss (all patients) = 3.4kg (7.5lbs)
Patients who combined Mounjaro with mindful eating and light physical activity tended to see higher results – as did those who engaged with the Medicspot behaviour change course and weekly whatsapp check-ins with a Medicspot Health Coach.

I’ve struggled with my weight most of my adult life and now I’ve finally found something that actually works. It’s really suppressed my appetite and in doing so has made me make some really healthy choices. It just comes so naturally to me now to go for the healthier option over the unhealthy option. Also I’m not really finishing as much on my plate anymore and I just feel so much healthier and more energetic and I just feel really positive about the future.

I had a work photo taken and I couldn’t believe the results just how much weight I’d put on and the picture that I saw I thought “that’s not me” – it’s time to do something about it. I am now in my third week of taking 2.5 milligrams and I’ve lost 12 pounds so far. In terms of symptoms I don’t seem to be getting any, I seem to be feeling okay. I’m eating small regular meals so I don’t know if that’s actually what seems to help. There’s a lot of support on here if you need it which I think works and we’re in a great WhatsApp group that’s very supportive and results seem to help each other so yes it’s really good.
