The GLP-1 Hair Question: What's Falling Out and What Vitamins Actually Help (with Nyrah Saleem)

Season 3 · Episode 3

Tuesday, September 8, 2026 • Duration 29:52

It's not the nausea people find hardest. It's the hair. A systematic review published in April 2026 pulled together twenty-four studies and found hair loss occurred at six cases per thousand patient-years on GLP-1 medication, against zero point eight on placebo. More than a three-fold increase. And when you're eating a fraction of what you used to, the nutrients have to come from somewhere: one study last year found 98.6% of people on these medications were below the recommended intake of vitamin D alone. In this episode I'm joined by Nyrah Saleem, a clinical pharmacist and independent prescriber, and an award-winning health creator who shares evidence-based advice on skincare, hair health and nutrition with over half a million followers. She's the founder of Nyra Nutrition, a pharmacist-formulated supplement brand. We talk about what's actually happening when your hair starts shedding and whether it's the drug or the weight loss, how long it really takes to come back, whether anything genuinely speeds that up, the nutrient deficiencies worth worrying about, and which supplements are worth your money and which are expensive gimmicks. She also covers how to read a supplement label properly, what interactions to watch for alongside these medications, and the things people are too embarrassed to ask a pharmacist. 🎙 Hosted by: Marc McKee 📍 Featuring: Nyrah Saleem MPharm 🔗 Connect with Nyrah 📸 Instagram: @healthwithnyrah 📲 TikTok: @healthwithnyrah 📺 YouTube: @Healthwithnyrah 🔗 Nyra Nutrition: https://www.nyranutrition.co.uk 🔗 Linktree: linktr.ee/nyrahsaleem 🔗 Connect with Marc 📲 TikTok: @my.journey.with.marc 📸 Instagram: @my.journey.with.marc 📺 YouTube: @myjourneywithmarc 🎧 Podcast IG: @this.is.my.journey.podcast 🎧 New episodes every Tuesday at 6am.

The GLP-1 Drug That Comes Next And More (with Dr Fatima Cody Stanford, Harvard Medical School)

Season 3 · Episode 2

Tuesday, September 8, 2026 • Duration 51:57

A billion people worldwide are living with obesity. The medications finally work. And fewer than one in ten of the people who could benefit will get them by 2030. In this episode I'm joined by Dr Fatima Cody Stanford, obesity medicine physician-scientist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. One of the first fellowship-trained obesity medicine physicians in the world, she has published over 300 peer-reviewed papers, sat on the 2025 US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, and contributed to the Lancet Commission that redefined clinical obesity. Many of you will know her from Oprah's weight-loss special. We talk about what's coming next: the triple agonist retatrutide, which produced average weight loss of over 28% in trial results presented in June, with two thirds of people on the top dose finishing no longer clinically obese. We also cover why almost nobody will be able to get it, the black market already selling it, why people with type 2 diabetes lose less weight on these drugs, and the body dysmorphia that doesn't disappear when the weight does. 🎙 Hosted by: Marc McKe 📍 Featuring: Dr Fatima Cody Stanford, Massachusetts General Hospital & Harvard Medical School Follow Dr Stanford: Instagram: @askdrfatima Website: askdrfatima.com 🔗 Connect with Marc 📲 TikTok: @my.journey.with.marc 📸 Instagram: @my.journey.with.marc 📺 YouTube: @myjourneywithmarc 🎧 Podcast IG: @this.is.my.journey.podcast 🎧 New episodes every Tuesday at 6am.

Myth, Meets The GUT: What GLP-1s Actually Do (with Dr Karan Rajan)

Season 3 · Episode 1

Tuesday, September 8, 2026 • Duration 23:43

Three quarters of people in the semaglutide trials had a gastrointestinal side effect. Only four per cent of UK adults were eating enough fibre before any of this started. So we've put millions of people on a medication that slows the gut down, in a country that was already barely eating any fibre, and then wondered why everyone feels awful. In this episode I'm joined by Dr Karan Rajan, an NHS surgeon, university clinical lecturer and one of the most-followed health educators in the world, with well over ten million people following him for his myth-busting videos. He's the author of the number one Sunday Times bestseller This Book May Save Your Life and of This Is Vital Information, host of the podcast Dr Karan Explores, founder of LOAM Science, and Chief of Science at gut health company Throne Science. We talk about what these medications are actually doing in your gut and why the side effects are so varied, which of them you can do something about and which you simply have to ride out, why fibre matters far more than anyone told you, the single biggest piece of GLP-1 misinformation currently circulating, and the moral undertone that says taking these drugs is somehow cheating. 🔗 Connect with Dr Karan Rajan 📸 Instagram: @drkaranrajan 📲 TikTok: @dr.karanr 📺 YouTube: @DrKaranRajan 🔗 Website: https://www.drkaranrajan.com/ 🎧 Podcast: Dr Karan Explores – https://www.drkaranrajan.com/podcast LOAM Science 📸 Instagram: @loamscience 📲 TikTok: @loamscience 🔗 Website: https://loamscience.com 🔗 Connect with Marc 📲 TikTok: @my.journey.with.marc 📸 Instagram: @my.journey.with.marc 📺 YouTube: @myjourneywithmarc 🎧 Podcast IG: @this.is.my.journey.podcast 🎧 New episodes every Tuesday at 6am.

S2 E6: Transforming James – Losing 8 Stone, Reversing Pre-Diabetes & Starting Again (with James Taylor)

Season 2 · Episode 6

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 • Duration 38:15

In this episode of This Is My Journey, I’m joined by James, who started his GLP-1 journey on 31 March and has since lost over 8 stone. James began feeling sceptical about GLP-1 medication and carried a lot of shame around his weight. Like many people, he was stuck in the “I’ll start on Monday” mindset and believed he should be able to do it naturally. Since starting his journey, he has: Lost over 8 stone Reversed pre-diabetes Lowered his blood pressure Gained the clarity to build real habits Started running and going to the gym This episode is about mindset shifts, food noise, confidence, and what becomes possible when the mental fog lifts. We talk about: Overcoming scepticism around GLP-1s Breaking the cycle of shame Why clarity matters more than willpower Building sustainable habits Confidence after weight loss If you’re on a GLP-1, considering it, or feeling stuck in the “start Monday” cycle, this conversation will resonate.

S2 E5: From Childhood Obesity to Adult Care - A Doctor’s Personal & Professional Journey (with Dr Sachin Khunti)

Season 2 · Episode 5

Tuesday, February 10, 2026 • Duration 29:01

On this episode of This Is My Journey, we’re having one of the most important conversations of the season. I’m joined by Dr Sachin Khunti, a doctor with a background in pharmacy and medicine, specialist training in obesity care, and someone who has also lived with obesity from childhood into adulthood. Sachin brings a perspective we don’t hear often enough. He understands obesity not just as a clinician, but as a patient. He has personally used GLP-1 medication, experienced weight regain, restarted treatment, and seen first-hand how biology, stigma, and systems all shape outcomes. In this episode, we talk about: • Why obesity must be treated as a chronic disease, not a lifestyle choice • How childhood obesity shapes identity and long-term health • The UK’s approach to prevention and where gaps still exist • What GLP-1 medication taught him about appetite and food noise • The reality of stopping and restarting treatment • The biggest misconceptions around obesity and GLP-1s • Why stigma remains one of the biggest barriers to care • What better, long-term obesity treatment should look like This is an honest, evidence-based, and deeply human conversation about moving from blame to biology and building systems that truly support people.
