What is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro is a weight loss medication that contains the active ingredient tirzepatide. It’s given as a weekly injection and works by mimicking certain hormones in your body that help regulate blood sugar and appetite.

One of the main ways Mounjaro supports weight loss is by reducing your appetite. It targets a part of the brain that controls hunger, helping you feel fuller for longer and more satisfied with smaller portions.

When you take Mounjaro it’s no longer about starving yourself or massively restricting calories to the point of discomfort. With Mounjaro you’re not fighting your hunger all day as the medication helps lessen your cravings. People often say they finally feel able to eat more normally without constant cravings or the urge to snack between meals. That alone can be a big relief for those who’ve struggled with dieting in the past and can naturally start to reduce their overall calorie intake.

What is food noise, and how does Mounjaro help?

If you’ve never heard of “food noise” before, it’s the term some people use to describe the constant thoughts about food that can make losing weight feel exhausting.

It might be thinking about your next meal even when you’re not hungry, or feeling distracted by snacks in the cupboard when you’re trying to work or relax.

Some patients taking Mounjaro have reported that it helps to quieten this food noise, which can make a huge difference to your day-to-day life.

When your thoughts aren’t constantly focused on food, it’s easier to stay on track and make healthier choices without feeling overwhelmed.
