My Truth about Losing Weight after 50

My GLP-1 (Mounjaro) Weight Loss Journey: 40–50 lbs Down, Side Effects, Plateaus & What’s Next

MC shares a candid update on a two-and-a-half-year health journey using the GLP-1/GIP drug Mounjaro, describing being 40–50 pounds down, hitting a plateau, and still having more to go. With a health psychology PhD and decades in medical research, she explains why she chose Mounjaro, started at the lowest dose, and approached it as one tool within a broader “toolbox” that includes nutrition, protein to protect muscle, movement and weightlifting, mindfulness, journaling, and tracking body composition (including using a Hume band/scale). She outlines real side effects (nausea, constipation/diarrhea, heartburn/GLP-1 cough, fatigue, hair loss, muscle loss) and strategies to manage them with a doctor. She notes improved health markers (blood pressure, A1C), recovery through major surgeries without weight gain, and ongoing struggles with emotional eating, sweets, and food “chatter,” inviting viewers to join weekly and consider a 30-day health focus.
