My Doctor Thinks Something Else Is Slowing My Mounjaro Weight Loss

My doctor agrees that a higher Mounjaro dose may not be the answer to my slow weight loss. After more than a year on Mounjaro, my blood sugar is excellent, my appetite is controlled, my food noise is quiet, and my A1C is now 5.5, but the scale is still barely moving. At my latest appointment, we talked about why she is keeping me on 12.5 mg and what she wants investigated next. In this video, I’m sharing why my medical team wants a deeper look at my PCOS history, insulin resistance, perimenopause, hormones, sleep, stress, and possible cortisol issues instead of automatically increasing my dose. I also share why she did not recommend the DUTCH test, the specialist she wants me to see, and the realistic plan we made for the next three months. Near the end, I’ll share my short week 9 weigh-in update and take my week 10 injection of 12.5 mg Mounjaro. This is my personal experience and not medical advice. Treatment, testing, hormone therapy, and dose decisions should be made with your own medical team. #Mounjaro #GLP1SlowResponder #SlowWeightLoss 🐢 Welcome to Slow & Steady with Andi 💜 I’m Andi, 51 years old, living with type 2 diabetes and PCOS, and sharing my real-life health journey.
