I have spent the last 8 years of my life really trying to lose weight. I have always enjoyed the gym, weight training and spin classes, I have always been very careful with my diet. During a really stressful time in my life, all of a sudden, I just couldn't lose weight. I was gaining weight rapidly and my usual efforts just couldn't control it. Over the space of 3 years I took myself to 3 bootcamps in another country where I exercised for up to 8 hours a day and ate minimal calories, these camps were run by ex-army personnel and really did feel like extreme punishment, I would lose weight then gain it again quickly. I had my cortisol levels checked, they were really high, I paid to see an Endocrinologist who told me all I could do was de-stress! I have continued to diet and exercise and have been stuck in this cycle for years, until I met Dr A. He diagnosed me with insulin resistance and suggested I start Mounjaro. He was truly the first Doctor to actually listen to me and really understand my concerns. I have lost 24lbs in the last 12 weeks! Mounjaro is changing my life. I can honestly say I have not experienced any bad side effects; it just makes me feel less hungry and reduces my cravings for sugary foods. I am so grateful to Dr A, he is amazing!
