This Is My Journey

S2 E3: Starting GLP-1s Safely: Maintenance, Misinformation & Black Market Risks (with Hira Malik, Oushk Pharmacy)

Marc McKee (This Is My Journey) Season 2 Episode 3

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.
