If you’re a woman in your 40s or 50s navigating weight gain, hormonal changes, and stubborn belly fat,  and you’ve been thinking about trying GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Wegovy you’re not alone.

These weight loss injections have become increasingly popular, especially among women dealing with menopause-related weight gain. But with the excitement comes a lot of overwhelm, confusion, and fear, particularly around side effects, cost, and how to stop taking the medication long term. That’s why micro dosing GLP-1's is gaining attention, and it might just be the smarter, gentler way to use these medications without risking burnout, extreme hunger when you stop, or nutritional deficiencies.

Let’s explore how it works and how one woman lost 10lbs in just 2 weeks by following this exact approach (without jumping straight to the highest dose).

What Is Microdosing GLP-1 for Weight Loss?

GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro and Ozempic are designed to help regulate blood sugar, slow down digestion, and reduce appetite. Most people start at a “standard” dose, often 2.5mg, before quickly increasing the dose every few weeks. However micro dosing means starting at a lower dose than usual and staying there longer. This approach is especially helpful for:

• Reducing or avoiding side effects like nausea, fatigue, or constipation
• Making the medication more affordable long term
• Allowing your body to adjust slowly while you build better eating habits
• Supporting a smoother transition when coming off the medication

While not yet a standard medical protocol, I use micro dosing, for the women I work with, to reduce side effects, save money and get the best weight loss results, especially when paired with proper nutrition, support, and a structured plan like the GLP-1 Smart Results Toolkit.

Who Is Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) For?

Mounjaro (also known by its generic name Tirzepatide) is a GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist that was originally developed to help manage blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. It’s now being used for weight loss, particularly in those who meet specific clinical criteria.

You may be eligible for Mounjaro if you meet the following criteria:

• BMI of 30 or higher (classified as obese), or
• BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related health condition such as:
• Type 2 diabetes
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
• Sleep apnoea

In the UK, private clinics are increasingly offering Mounjaro to women who have tried other weight loss methods without long-term success. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any medication.

Note: You don’t have to be on the highest dose to get results. As you’ll read below, micro dosing can be a more affordable and gentler way to approach Mounjaro.

A Real-Life Case Study: Menopause, Weight Gain & a Smart GLP-1 Strategy

Take Angela, 52, a woman who had gained nearly 2 stone during menopause. After trying calorie-counting, HIIT workouts, and cutting carbs nothing shifted. She felt frustrated, tired, and uncomfortable with the belly fat.

Angela started Mounjaro and micro dosed, following the   GLP-1 Smart Results Toolkit for support. The toolkit guided her to:

• Fuel her body with a 1500kcal high-protein plan
• Hit her fibre and hydration goals
• Gently track hunger, energy, and stress
• Introduced steps and strength in a way that felt possible for her.

In just 2 weeks, Angela lost 10lbs not from starvation, but from finally fuelling her body properly while her appetite was gently supported. She stayed on the lowest dose for 6 months before moving to 5mg, then micro dosed again as she weaned off  without rebound hunger or weight gain.

“The toolkit made everything easier, I didn’t have to second-guess myself or rely just on the scale. It felt like a reset for my body and my mind.”



Why GLP-1 Alone Isn’t Enough

You might lose weight on GLP-1's without changing much else at first. But if you’re not feeding your body properly, the moment you come off the injections, the weight often creeps back… and quickly.

GLP-1 medications don’t teach you how to:

• Hit your protein goals
• Stabilise blood sugar
• Manage emotional eating
• Stop relying on the scale to define success

That’s where the   GLP-1 Smart Results Toolkit   comes in so you get the structure, support, and strategy you need from day one.

What’s Inside the Toolkit?

✔️14-Day High Protein Meal Plan (1500 kcal, balanced for weight loss + energy)
✔️ Step-by-Step Guide for Starting, Dosing & Weaning Off GLP-1
✔️ Protein Goal + Calorie Calculator
✔️ Step-By-Step Exercise Guide Steps To Strength
✔️ Mindset Support + Hunger/Emotion Trackers
✔️ Weaning Protocol to Save £££s and Avoid Rebound
✔️ Toolkit Updates for Ongoing Support

Whether you’re just starting or already using a GLP-1 medication, this toolkit helps you get results without the side effects and protect those results long after the injections stop.

You Don’t Have to Go All In to Get Results

Micro dosing isn’t about doing “less” it’s about doing things smarter. When you start small, fuel well, and have a plan your results become sustainable. You lose the weight, keep it off, and feel in control again. And you don’t have to waste time trying to work it out yourself. 

The GLP-1 Smart Results Toolkit is here to walk with you, every step of the way. Because it’s not just about shrinking your body it’s about building trust with it again.
