This Is My Journey

S2 E2: Life After the Prescription: Why GLP-1 Community and Support Matter (with Aja Beckett, Shotsy)

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.
