| S1 E12: 7 Stone Gone & Surviving Gallstones on a GLP-1 (with Amie Moore) | 25 Nov 2025 | 00:37:07 | |
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. 🔗Connect with Amie here: 📍TikTok: @aimswlsjourney 📍Instagram: @aimred 🔗 Connect with Marc 📲 TikTok: @my.journey.with.marc | @my.skinjourney.with.marc 📺 YouTube: @myjourneywithmarc

| S2 E2: Life After the Prescription: Why GLP-1 Community and Support Matter (with Aja Beckett, Shotsy) | 20 Jan 2026 | 00:41:36 | |
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.
