One of the biggest concerns I’m seeing right now is how easily people can access weight-loss injections online, often with no proper assessment at all.

These medications can be incredibly effective, but they’re not simple.

Many patients have underlying issues that will never get picked up by an online pharmacy.

In this week’s episode, I break down why proper medical supervision matters, why side effects shouldn’t be ignored, and why these injections should never be treated like a quick fix.

If you’re considering starting one of these medicines, please watch this first.

One of the most unexpected hacks from this week’s episode?

Kiwis 🥝

Not for vitamin C… but for constipation.

Sara Hausmann shared a simple trick she uses with patients that genuinely surprised me, and it’s backed by research.

A small, everyday food that can make a real difference to gut health without reaching straight for medication.

Have you ever tried the kiwi hack yourself?

The new episode of The Health Perspective is now live, and today we’re joined again by dietitian Sara Hausmann to talk about the realities of weight-loss injections.

There’s a lot of noise online about these medications… but very little about what clinicians actually see when they work with patients day in, day out.

One thing Sara and I both agree on is this: many people who consider these injections have been trying to lose weight for years. Diets, gyms, programmes, “healthy eating” and still not getting the results they work so hard for.

For some of those patients, these medicines can genuinely change their health trajectory.

This episode is about cutting through judgement and understanding the why, the who and the how behind safe, supported use.

If you’ve used a weight-loss injection yourself, or you’re considering one, I’d love to hear your experience or questions below.

There’s a lot of noise around weight-loss injections, and it’s not always easy to know what’s real and what isn’t.

The facts often get blurred by headlines and hype.

So this carousel breaks down five of the most common myths I hear in clinic, and the truths that give you a clearer, safer starting point if you’re exploring these treatments.

Whenever we talk about weight-loss injections, most people focus on how much weight they help you lose & how fast they work.

But what matters just as much is when they should be used....and when they shouldn’t.

These medicines can be powerful, but please remember they are not harmless.

They can change lives, but they can also cause harm when used for the wrong reasons or without proper supervision.

Understanding your own context is so important if you're considering a weightloss inejction like Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro.

And remember - the aim shouldn’t just be weight loss. It should be long-term health.

Wouldnt you agree?

Which weightloss injection works best?

In clinical studies, people taking Mounjaro lost around 5–7% more of their body weight than those on Wegovy.

Some saw total weight loss close to 20%. That’s one-fifth of their body weight!

It’s an incredible figure, but data alone doesn’t tell the full story.

The right medication depends on so many things unique to you. Factors to do with your health, your goals, and how your body responds may all have an impact on the results.

So please remember that what works best on paper isn’t always what works best for you.

What do you think about these stats?

The new episode of The Health Perspective is now live and this time, we’re talking about weight-loss injections like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro.

They’ve dominated headlines, but there’s still so much confusion about what’s safe, what’s not, and what really happens when you stop taking them.

One of the hardest questions I get asked is...will the weight come back?

The truth is, for most people, yes, some of it will. But that doesn’t mean it’s a failure.

For many, these medicines act as a reset. Like a window to rebuild habits, move more, eat better, and feel in control again.

And even if some weight returns, the health benefits gained along the way still matter.

If you’ve tried one of these medications yourself, I'd love to hear about your experience in the comments.

Do you have high-functioning anxiety?

On the outside, you look calm, capable, and in control. You keep everything moving, hit every deadline, and hold yourself together no matter what’s going on.

But inside, it’s a different story.

Your mind never switches off, you’re constantly planning, overthinking, replaying every detail. And even when things go well, it doesn’t really feel like enough.

That’s the quiet cost of high-functioning anxiety.

You’re coping, but you’re running on fumes. People rarely see how hard you’re pushing, because you seem fine. When really you might not be.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. It just means you’ve been living in survival mode for too long.

Do you recognise yourself in this?

If you’ve ever had a panic attack, you’ll know how real it feels.

Your chest tightens, your heart races, and your brain convinces you something terrible’s about to happen.

But panic attacks aren’t necceserily dangerous, they’re just your body’s alarm system misfiring.

Once you understand how to manage them, the fear starts to lose its grip.

What’s helped you calm things down when panic hits?

Anxiety is something almost everyone experiences, but not many people fully understand.

In this week’s episode of The Health Perspective, I wanted to answer five of the most common questions people are often too afraid to ask their doctor.

Things like: what actually counts as an anxiety disorder, what really helps when panic hits, and why some of the ways we try to cope can quietly make things worse.

This first clip looks at one of those patterns, the trap of avoiding what makes you anxious.

It feels helpful in the moment, right? When you skip the thing that causes the panic, you instantly feel calmer.

But over time, that calm comes at a cost.

Have you ever caught yourself avoiding something that only made the anxiety stronger in the long run?
