My Weight Loss Journey: Gemma's Mounjaro Before And After

Like many Levity customers embarking on their personal weight loss journeys, Gemma was desperate for change. She wanted to reach her goal weight in a sustainable, science-backed way after years of struggling with calorie counting, weight gain and medical conditions. 

“Mounjaro has given me my life back”

Initially nervous about fitting weekly weight loss injections into her lifestyle, Gemma quickly got into a routine that worked for her. And the results have been incredible. “Within the first week of taking Mounjaro I can guarantee it was the best thing I've done and I've not looked back since. I'm really happy that I took that first leap of faith and ordered. I wish I'd done it sooner” says Gemma. 

A brief introduction to Mounjaro

After her initial consultation, Gemma decided that Mounjaro would be the best treatment to help her achieve her weight loss goals. Mounjaro is a type of medication known as a GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. A weekly injection, it works by mimicking the action of the GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) hormones which our bodies naturally produce when we eat to trigger insulin production. The presence of insulin helps the body to manage its blood sugar levels (which is why it is also a treatment for type-2 diabetes), as well as making you feel full and reducing your appetite. In clinical trials, the active ingredient in Mounjaro (tirzepatide) has shown it's possible to lose up to 20% of your body weight in 72 weeks (Jastreboff et al., 2022). [1]

Since using Mounjaro, Gemma has experienced positive changes including reduced hunger and cravings, improved energy levels and better blood sugar control. Her commitment to a healthier lifestyle, alongside taking GLP-1 weight loss drugs has been a game-changer for Gemma. It’s significantly improved the quality of her life and self image. “Mounjaro has given me my life back” she says.
