Mounjaro Weight Loss Diet
Indulgence Medical Day Spa takes pride in being one of the pioneering medical offices to offer the groundbreaking Mounjaro Diet in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Clinical studies have demonstrated that patients who utilize Mounjaro or also called Tirzepatide have experienced weight loss of up to 20% of their overall body weight within a few months. Similar to Semaglutide or other GLP1 diets like Wegovy or Ozempic, Mounjaro empowers individuals to control their food intake and achieve unprecedented weight loss.
Our team of medical experts is thrilled to provide this life-altering diet and assist our clients in leading healthier lives.
What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro was originally approved for people with type 2 diabetes. It is similar to other weight loss drugs like Semaglutide, Wegovy or Ozempic as it’s a Glucagon like peptide 1 inhibitor (GLP-1) but is also a GIP agonist making it better at glucose control than the previously mentioned medications.
Because of the success around Semaglutide and other GLP-1 diets, Mounjaro/Tirzepatide was brought to market as a weight loss drug and is out performing them in clinical trials.
Mounjaro is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means it mimics the function of the natural hormone GLP-1. GLP-1 is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels and satiety, meaning it can control your appetite and help you feel fuller for longer periods. Mounjaro works by activating the GLP-1 receptor in the brain, which then sends signals to reduce hunger pangs and make you feel satiated even after small meals.
Mounjaro is also known as Tirzepatide.
How Mounjaro Works
Mounjaro works by replicating gut hormones called incretins, which play a role in signaling the release of insulin and regulating glucose levels in the body.
When a medication mimics an incretin, it can promote a sense of fullness and reduce appetite, while aiding in blood glucose control. Mounjaro acts like GLP-1 and also mimics another incretin called glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), belonging to the dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists class.
This means Mounjaro is more effective in managing blood sugar than GLP-1 inhibitors alone enabling patients to lose more weight over time. This is what makes Mounjaro an effective medical weight loss diet.
