Mounjaro is an innovative medication used primarily for managing Type 2 diabetes and facilitating weight loss, functioning similarly to other treatments like Ozempic and Wegovy. Numerous other celebrities have also publicly acknowledged their use of this medication, adding to its visibility and discussion in popular culture.
Rosie previously discussed her experience with Mounjaro in a TikTok video, where she shared her journey and the effects it has had on her life. A few months ago, she mentioned, “I’ve lost more weight. I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes, and one of the side effects is you lose weight,” highlighting the medication’s role in her transformation.
She continued to explain, “But it’s also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles, and now it’s just me cooking for Clay and me.” This shift in her cooking routine has contributed to her overall lifestyle changes and weight loss success.
Having relocated to Ireland, Rosie shared her experiences shopping in Dublin to find new clothes that “fit better” after her significant weight loss. She expressed, “I’m one of those people who always had a weight issue, and now that I’m a size large — instead of an XL or a XXL — I find it shocking,” showcasing her surprise at her new size and how it reflects her journey.
In January 2023, Rosie revealed that her doctor had prescribed her Mounjaro along with Repatha just two months prior, and she had already begun to notice positive changes. Along with the medication, she also made conscious lifestyle adjustments, including “not eating sugar as much as I can,” to enhance her health journey.
She noted, “My appetite has decreased significantly. It’s probably the meds. And I’m trying to move more. So, all those things combined, that’s what it is,” reflecting on the combination of medication and lifestyle changes that have contributed to her weight loss.
