In this episode of The Dose, we are joined by Aja Beckett, founder of Shotsy and a member of the GLP-1 weight loss community. Aja shares her personal journey of living with obesity, years of dieting, food noise, fear, and the moment she realised that getting a prescription was only the beginning, not the solution.
We talk honestly about life on GLP-1 medications, including Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound, the emotional ups and downs through the week, why hunger and food noise can return, and how understanding what is happening in your body can reduce panic and self blame. Aja also explains why she built Shotsy, a tracking tool created from lived experience to help people feel more informed and supported on their journey.
This is a real, human conversation about weight loss, access, cost, maintenance, and the power of community.
