You’ve probably seen the headlines: weight-loss jabs like Mounjaro are now being prescribed on the NHS. But what does that actually mean—and where does exercise still fit into the picture?

In this episode of Inspiring Movement, Jim chats with Lay Lim, a pharmacist specialising in weight management, to unpack the facts behind the hype. They explore how medications like Mounjaro and Ozempic work, who they’re meant for, what the risks are, and why a healthy, balanced lifestyle still rules the day.

This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a grounded, practical conversation about a complex topic, designed to help you stay informed and in control of your choices.

In this episode:

• What Mounjaro and Ozempic do in the body
• Who qualifies for NHS prescriptions (and who doesn’t)
• The real risks of buying weight-loss meds online
• Side effects, including muscle and bone loss
• How movement and mindset shape long-term success
• Why strength, nutrition, and community support matter more than ever

If you’re considering a course of treatment with Mounjaro, speak to your GP or pharmacist first.
