Episode 8 - When to increase Mounjaro Dose?

In this week’s episode of Make Your Mark, I check in on where I’m at now that my weight has been holding steady for two months. After losing 100lbs on Mounjaro and 170lbs in total, maintaining my weight is something I’ve never properly achieved before, so this feels like a huge milestone. I talk about why I’m staying on 15mg Mounjaro for the summer, how I’m using it to help me get through holidays, events and real life without being derailed, and why I plan to stop completely at the start of September to see how much I can manage on my own. This week I’m also joined by Ben Welthy, my co-host from Over The Counter. Ben is now preparing for an amateur bodybuilding show towards the end of 2026, so we talk about training, eating to gain weight, body image, thin shaming and how fitness has become a major part of life after codeine addiction recovery. I also talk about why I agree with the idea that GLP-1s are not simply fat loss drugs, but brain drugs, with fat loss being a side effect of the changes they create around hunger, food noise and behaviour. A proper mix this week of maintenance, Mounjaro, recovery, bodybuilding and what comes next.
