Have you ever thought about how many aspects of health and lifestyle people deal with when it comes to weight management? 

It is very easy to oversimplify the process of eating less food and exercising more but the reality for each one of us is different and far more complicated. In most cases, it stems from deeply rooted patterns related to reward systems, past experiences, personal beliefs and genetics as well as socioeconomic factors such as bombardment of ultra processed fast food advertisements for excessive consumption. 

Weight loss injections have become very popular in recent years, and probably will be part of our lives for years to come. This is a change I have seen happen rapidly as a pharmacist in a private clinic.

One of the biggest changes I have seen is around the accessibility of information: while you can access medicines online cheaply and readily, there isn’t as much information about how the medicine might affect you, and whether it is safe to use. While there is so much information out there, finding the appropriate information for your journey is one of the most daunting experiences as one size does not fit all.
