What is Mounjaro?
If you have heard whispers about Mounjar in Kenyan wellness circles or seen it on your social media feeds, you are probably wondering: What is it, and what is all the fuss about? Mounjaro (brand name for Tirzepatide) is a weight loss treatment that comes in the form of a weekly self-injectable pen. The best places to inject Mounjaro are areas with the most fat, such as the upper arms, the front of your thighs, and the tummy (always 5cm away from the belly button) 1. You must change injection sites regularly. Mounjaro, as a weight loss medication, has been proven to reduce body weight, waist circumference, and BMI2.
Mechanism of Action: How Mounjaro Works Its Weight Loss Wonders
The question on everyone’s mind concerning Mounjaro is how it works. It is not magic—it is smart science. The secret lies in its active ingredient: Tirzepatide.
Tirzepatide works on two different hormonal receptors: glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).
- GLP-1 regulates blood sugar levels, which in turn reduces hunger and prevents or controls food cravings. Also, GLP-1 slows down the stomach emptying process, making one feel fuller for longer1.
- GIP – Regulates energy balance in brain and fat cells and enhances the GLP-1 effect of suppressing appetite and improving blood sugar control1.
Your Mounjaro Dosage Guide: Start Low, Go Slow
To have the best chances for long-term success, one should follow the gradually increasing dosage as instructed by our consultation team atHolistic Weight Management Centre. Typically, one will start on a 2.5 mg dose of Mounjaro, which will be increased after every four weeks until one reaches the maximum maintenance dose of 5mg, 10mg, or 15mg1. Following this gradual approach reduces the risk of side effects, allows the body to adapt to the medication, and gives the patient the best chance at lasting weight loss.
Can Mounjaro Really Deliver? The Clinical Trial Truth?
Clinical trials have revealed that by using Mounjaro, the patient can achieve up to 20 percent weight loss after 18 months1.
How Much Does Mounjaro Cost in Kenya?

The Not-So-Glamorous Guests: A Look at Side Effects
Gastrointestinal side effects
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal in nature, including constipation, diarrhoea, and nausea. Mainly, these side effects manifest with dose increases and with time, they tend to disappear3.
Common side effects
Other common side effects could include hair loss, injection site reactions, gallstones, hypoglycemia in type 2 diabetes patients, gastroesophageal reflux, excess wind (flatulence), feeling lightheaded, and fatigue1.
Serious side effects
In rare cases, there can be serious side effects, such as Anaphylaxis, with presenting symptoms like difficulty swallowing, swelling of the tongue, lip, and face, and difficulty breathing, and Pancreatitis, with presenting symptoms like severe abdominal pain and vomiting3.
Unexpected appearance-related outcomes
According to Dr. Ryan Neinstein, a renowned plastic surgeon based in New York, the rapid weight loss associated with these weight loss injectables can have unexpected appearance-related outcomes, including sagging skin, since losing weight so swiftly does not always allow skin the time or sufficient elasticity to retract. At the Holistic Weight Management Centre, we address these concerns early by offering options to support one’s body as it transforms.
Real People, Real Results: Corrine Benandi’s Incredible Mounjaro Journey
Meet Corrine Benandi – a news anchor, who sought help from an endocrinologist after continuous weight gain, even after hiring a personal trainer and dietary modification. Like many people, she was doing everything “right” but seeing no progress on the scale. The Doctor recommended the Mounjaro and walked her through the details—how the medication works, potential side effects, long-term results, and expected outcomes. With this information, she decided to start treatment. Corrine noticed the medication was working as she gradually started losing weight, her appetite became manageable, she rarely felt hungry, she ate less, and her energy levels shot up. Fast forward 11 months, and Corrine had achieved something that years of traditional approaches could not deliver: she was down 60 pounds and had reached her goal weight of 150 pounds 4. At Holistic Weight Management Centre, we see Corrine’s journey reflected in so many of our Kenyan clients’ experiences.

Why Choose Mounjaro Over Other Weight Loss Injectables?
With so many weight loss injectables now available in Kenya, it is natural to wonder: Why Mounjaro? What sets it apart from others like Ozempic?
Mounjaro works on both GLP-1 andGIP, which gives it greater weight loss potential than other weight loss injectables like Ozempic, which work on GLP-1 alone1. This dual hormone action helps improve blood sugar control and regulate appetite more effectively.
