This Is My Journey

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Mike Herring, a double board certified medical doctor, personal trainer, and someone who has lived this journey himself, having lost over 100 pounds and maintained it long term.
Dr Mike brings together medical insight, behaviour change, and real world experience to explain why so many people struggle on GLP-1s and what actually leads to sustainable results beyond the medication.
We dive into:
• The most common mistakes people make on GLP-1s
• Why habits matter more than motivation
• How GLP-1s affect cravings, stress eating, and reward pathways
• The importance of protein, movement, and muscle
• Simple habits that create long term success
This episode is about realism, not perfection. Practical strategies that support health, mindset, and long term change.

On this episode of This Is My Journey, we’re tackling one of the most important conversations around GLP-1s.
I’m joined by Hira Malik, Chief Pharmacist and Co-Founder of Oushk Pharmacy, who works closely with patients at every stage of their GLP-1 journey, from first consideration through to maintenance and long-term planning.
Hira brings a pharmacy-led, safety-first perspective to this episode, and if you’re thinking about starting a GLP-1, already on one, or hearing conflicting information online, this is a must-listen.
We dive into:
• What safe prescribing actually looks like
• The steps someone should take before starting a GLP-1
• How to approach maintenance properly
• The rise of misinformation online
• The very real risks of black-market and unregulated use
• How to protect your health and make informed decisions
This episode is all about clarity and empowerment. No scare tactics, no hype, just honest, professional guidance to help people navigate this journey safely.

In this episode, I’m joined by Aja Beckett, Founder of Shotsy, to talk about the part of the GLP-1 journey that so often gets overlooked. What happens after the prescription.
After starting her own GLP-1 journey, Aja realised that while the medication helped with weight loss, the real challenge began once the prescription was filled. There was little guidance, no emotional support, and no clear path for navigating the lifestyle and identity changes that followed.
That experience led her to build Shotsy, a digital health platform designed to support people using GLP-1s beyond the medication.
We dive into:
• Why so many people feel lost after starting GLP-1s
• The emotional and identity shifts that come with weight loss
• The lack of education and support beyond prescriptions
• How community and accountability change long term outcomes
• What people actually need to feel supported and succeed
This episode is honest, emotional, and incredibly validating for anyone who has ever felt like they were doing this on their own.

We are BACK for Season 2 of This Is My Journey which starts with a conversation so many of you have been asking for.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Adam Jameson from REVIV, a pharmacist and PhD in pharmacogenomics, to talk honestly about nutrition, supplementation, energy, fatigue, hair loss, skin changes, and side effects that people experience while on GLP-1 medications and how we can better them.

We dive into:
• Why some people struggle with side effects on GLP-1s
• How nutritional deficiencies can impact energy, mood, hair and skin
• What your body actually needs during weight loss
• Supplements vs IV therapy and when each makes sense
• How to support your body properly during and after your journey

This episode is all about doing this the right way. Not fear, not hype, just education, clarity, and practical guidance to help you feel your best.

In today’s episode of This Is My Journey, I’m joined by the amazing Amie Moore who has lost an incredible 7 stone on her GLP-1 journey.
This conversation goes deep into:
• What inspired her to start
• Her progress over time
• Life-changing transformation
• How rapid weight loss led to gallstones
• Surgery, recovery, and restarting
• The emotional rollercoaster of healing and coming back stronger
This episode touches on a topic many people are afraid to talk about. There’s a lot of misinformation online suggesting GLP-1 medications cause gallstones. The truth is rapid weight loss itself carries that risk for any method of losing weight fast. Aimee’s story provides clarity, reassurance, and hope for anyone who has faced complications during their journey.
This episode is heartfelt, honest, vulnerable, and incredibly encouraging.
