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

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.
