Manjaro: A Medication for Weight Loss and Blood Sugar Regulation
Manjaro is a medication similar to ozembic that has shown to be more effective in promoting weight loss and regulating blood sugar levels. While both medications were primarily used for diabetes management, they have also been found to aid in weight loss. Manjaro can improve insulin resistance, lower A1c levels, and lead to significant weight loss in a shorter period. However, it is an expensive medication with various side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, dizziness, lethargy, and the risk of hypoglycemia, kidney problems, and retinopathy. Withdrawal from the medication does not resolve the underlying issues, and long-term effects are still unknown.
Natural Alternatives and Lifestyle Changes for Weight Loss and Blood Sugar Control
Rather than relying on expensive medications like Manjaro, there are natural alternatives and lifestyle changes that can help achieve similar effects without the side effects. Phyto-medicine, using plants as medicine, offers plant-based agonists for the two hormones (GLP1 and GIP) that the medication mimics. These plant-based alternatives have minimal toxicity. Additionally, adopting a long-term healthy lifestyle that includes a low-carb diet (such as the healthy version of the ketogenic diet) and intermittent fasting can help lower appetite, regulate blood sugar levels, and promote sustainable weight loss. Four herbs worth considering are burburine, curcumin, cinnamon, and panics ginseng. It is advised to start with one herb and experiment. These natural alternatives and lifestyle changes can be more sustainable and beneficial in the long run compared to relying solely on medication.

The Effects of Manjaro on Weight Loss and Blood Sugars
Let’s talk about Mounjaro. Mounjaro is a similar medication to Ozempic®, but some studies show it may work better.
Both of these medications are primarily used for regulating blood sugar levels but have also been found to help with weight loss. Anything that helps improve blood sugar levels will help you lose weight.
Potential benefits of Mounjaro include supporting healthy blood sugar levels and weight loss and improving insulin resistance and A1C.
Mounjaro may work, but it’s very expensive and can have serious side effects. Mounjaro also doesn’t correct the root cause of blood sugar problems or weight gain. You have to keep taking the medication for it to work.
While long-term side effects are unknown, short-term side effects of Mounjaro may include:
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Gastroparesis
• Abdominal pain
• Dizziness
• Lethargy
• Low blood sugar
• Kidney disease
• Retinopathy
There are fantastic natural alternatives to Mounjaro that you can take advantage of long-term. Overall, this is a healthy lifestyle change instead of a short-term, very expensive drug approach.

1. Berberine
2. Curcumin
3. Cinnamon
