The You Lounge - Episode 8: The Dark Side of GLP-1

In this episode of The You Lounge, we’re pulling back the curtain on the dark side of GLP-1 weight loss medications - and it’s a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Are the current prescribing pathways broken? Are pharmacies and prescribers really giving patients the support they deserve, or are they just handing over a pen and wishing them luck? We’re tackling the hard truths about the lack of holistic care, rushed prescriptions, and the shocking rise of pre-filled syringes and black-market GLP-1 options.

If you’ve ever felt left out in the cold after getting your prescription, or wondered why so many people are left figuring it out on their own, this episode is for you.

We’re digging into the gaps, the risks, and the real stories behind why so many GLP-1 users feel unsupported. Plus, we’ll be asking the big question: Should pharmacies and prescribers be doing more to protect patient safety?

It’s time to shine a light on the uncomfortable truths. Press play, join the conversation, and let us know - are we being let down by the system?
