Clinician
Our summary
Dr Emma Anders, who describes herself as a doctor, gives a personal update on her time taking Mounjaro and answers viewer questions. She says she has been on 2.5 milligrams since October 2024, apart from a break from February to April, and has never raised the dose. She reports that maintenance has not been harder than losing weight for her. She says she has deliberately taken a break from dieting for a couple of months to see what her eating defaults to, and that her weight has stayed static while her running has improved and her clothes size has dropped.

What else the video covers
She talks at length about taking up running in April, going from struggling through a 5 km park run to cutting her 10K time from over an hour and a half to just over an hour in 3 months. On side effects, she says she has had none, including no gastrointestinal effects and no hair loss, and little loose skin after losing about five stone. She says she has no plan to stop Mounjaro, comparing obesity to type 2 diabetes as a chronic condition.
She describes benefits beyond weight loss: her rosacea cleared within two to three weeks, she feels clearer mentally, and she says she saves money overall. She also explains how she handles negative reactions from others, and opens the video by recommending two books, The Ampic Revolution by Dr. Alexandra Soa and The Magic Pill by Johan Hari. All of this is her personal experience, not medical advice.

Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.
- Mounjaro for weight loss, and why Zepbound exists
Mounjaro is tirzepatide approved for type 2 diabetes. Zepbound is the same molecule from the same maker, approved for weight management, and it goes to the same 15 mg. So unlike Ozempic and Wegovy, there is no dose ceiling pushing you from one to the other: the reason people move is coverage and cash price, not strength. Using Mounjaro for weight is off-label and a prescriber's decision. In the one head-to-head trial, tirzepatide beat semaglutide, 20.2% mean body-weight loss at 72 weeks against 13.7%.
- Mounjaro dosage chart: the label's schedule, every pen and vial, and what each dose costs
Mounjaro starts at 2.5 mg injected once a week. If more blood sugar control is needed, the dose goes up in 2.5 mg steps after at least four weeks on the current dose, to a maximum of 15 mg a week for adults and 10 mg for children 10 and older. Lilly sells every strength self-pay starting at $499 a month, so on the brand the price does not climb with the dose.
- Mounjaro vs Ozempic, and the trial everyone quotes about it
Mounjaro is tirzepatide and Ozempic is semaglutide: different molecules, not two brands of the same drug. Both are approved for type 2 diabetes, and the weight-loss versions are Zepbound and Wegovy. In the one head-to-head trial, SURMOUNT-5, tirzepatide produced 20.2% mean body-weight loss at 72 weeks against semaglutide's 13.7%. The detail almost every page omits: that trial dosed semaglutide to 2.4 mg in people without diabetes, which is the Wegovy range. Ozempic tops out at 2 mg. The famous result did not test Ozempic's dose range.
