Welcome to a special episode of SDHC's Health and Wellbeing podcast, where Dr. Nick Harvey introduces Dr. Miriam Malak, our medical director and lifestyle medicine specialist. In this episode, we dive into the barriers people face when trying to lose weight and how our new weight loss service can help. We discuss the exciting potential of Mounjaro, a medication originally used for type 2 diabetes that has shown significant weight loss benefits. Dr. Malak explains how Mounjaro works by targeting two crucial hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, to control blood sugar, regulate appetite, and slow digestion. Dr. Malak also outlines who might benefit from Mounjaro, the amount of weight loss one can expect, and the correct method of administration. Additionally, she discusses other health benefits and potential side effects, emphasising the importance of a thorough medical assessment before starting the medication. Tune in to learn more about how Mounjaro can be a transformative option for weight loss and how to get started with this promising treatment.
