'I'm a doctor and I took Mounjaro, there are things you need to know'
A UK doctor shares his personal experience with the weight loss drug Mounjaro, detailing both physical and psychological effects during and after treatment.
Dr. Sachin Khunti, a UK doctor, decided to trial the weight-loss drug Mounjaro after meeting the clinical criteria for obesity. Over three months, he lost almost two stone and noticed significant reductions in his waist size and overall weight. Despite the physical transformations, Dr. Khunti highlighted the psychological impact of the medication, stating it substantially reduced his cravings and preoccupations related to food.
Following his initial success with the treatment, Dr. Khunti faced challenges after discontinuing the drug, ultimately requiring him to return to weight loss injections. He noted that the medication helped quiet the 'food noise' – the incessant thoughts and cravings for food – allowing him a newfound mental clarity when it came to eating and drinking, including diminished interest in alcohol. His experiences have offered him insights that she wishes to share with others considering similar treatments.
Dr. Khunti's account reflects broader discussions surrounding weight management medications and their effects beyond mere physical weight loss, pointing to the complex interplay between psychological health and lifestyle changes. As more individuals explore options like Mounjaro, insights from healthcare professionals like Dr. Khunti could assist others in making informed choices about their weight loss journeys.
