S2 E6: Transforming James – Losing 8 Stone, Reversing Pre-Diabetes & Starting Again (with James Taylor)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
