Doctors Discuss the Potential Health Benefits of Microdosing Ozempic and Mounjaro, From Reducing Inflammation to Improving Cardiovascular Health in Lond

My Journey with Ozempic and Mounjaro

In April 2023, I was struggling with the challenges of perimenopause—high cholesterol, prediabetic blood sugar levels, and a significant amount of extra weight that left me battling constant back pain.

I had heard all the horror stories about Ozempic, from nausea to more serious risks like pancreatitis and thyroid cancer, so I didn’t make the decision to try it lightly.

Under the guidance of Dr. Wendy Denning, a private GP in London, I started with a 0.25mg weekly dose.

Over four months, I gradually increased the dose, allowing my body to adjust slowly.

This approach helped me avoid most side effects, though I did experience some hair loss along the way.

But three months after I stopped the injections, I felt a complete transformation.

How My Health Has Changed

I’m no longer prediabetic, I’ve lost the excess weight, and I feel more energized, confident, and overall happier.

But the question now is, how do I maintain this healthier version of myself?

Initially, I thought the best way was to gradually wean off Ozempic.

Six months ago, I switched to Mounjaro, another weight-loss drug known for its powerful impact on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which provides added metabolic benefits.

The Microdosing Idea

It was a friend who suggested I consider microdosing Mounjaro.

Microdosing involves taking very small doses to experience the benefits without suffering from the common side effects.

This method is gaining popularity in the U.S., where these medications are being used beyond their approved purposes for conditions like diabetes and obesity.

The trend has primarily been embraced by celebrities and wealthy individuals who are more focused on aesthetics than health, but there is growing evidence that microdosing may have broader benefits.

There are studies underway examining the anti-inflammatory properties of drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Rybelsus (an oral form of semaglutide).

Initial results are promising, with potential benefits for heart and metabolic health, brain function, fertility, autoimmune conditions, and even neuroprotection against diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia.

It’s no wonder that microdosing is becoming more popular.

The Rise of Microdosing

Dr. Tyna Moore, an American naturopathic doctor, became well-known for advocating microdosing Ozempic.

Her online course now has over 2,000 participants.

Moore shares that many of her clients have reported improvements in their health beyond weight loss, including better mental health and pain reduction.

She also speaks from her own experience, revealing that microdosing has helped her with psoriatic arthritis, alleviating anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

Dr. Wendy Denning is considering microdosing Mounjaro for patients dealing with alcohol cravings, as there is some evidence that semaglutides can help curb those urges.

She also believes that microdosing could be beneficial for prediabetic patients by lowering blood sugar levels, which in turn may reduce the risk of heart disease and dementia.

Since high blood sugar can cause inflammation, controlling it could protect brain cells over time.

The Wealthy Are Leading the Charge

While microdosing is still a niche practice, it’s becoming increasingly popular among the world’s wealthiest individuals.

Dr. Tamsin Lewis, a longevity doctor for an exclusive medical service in Mayfair, points out that more slim individuals—especially women—are exploring microdosing for benefits like reducing menopausal brain fog, managing cholesterol, and combating inflammation.

These effects contribute to longevity and overall wellness, which are top priorities for her clients.

However, Dr. Denning cautions against microdosing indefinitely.

Since we don’t fully understand the long-term effects of these drugs, she suggests that people considering taking them long-term—whether for weight loss or other health reasons—should think carefully about the potential risks.

Proceeding with Caution

All the doctors I spoke with advised caution, especially when it comes to purchasing these medications online.

Without medical supervision, there could be serious risks involved. Dr. Lewis emphasizes that any off-label use, like microdosing, should be done under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.

As for me, I’ve chosen to focus on maintaining my weight (around nine and a half stone) and my improved health by sticking to regular exercise, eating smaller portions, and monitoring my health through monthly blood tests and daily weigh-ins.

If things start to shift, I’ll consider trying Mounjaro microdosing for short periods, with the support of my trusted doctor.

For now, I’m committed to sticking with a more traditional approach.
