In this episode my dear friend Shawn gives me the opportunity to share the story of how a petition turned into a podcast, a movement, and eventually a charitable nonprofit dedicated to advocating for affordable access to GLP-1 medications, normalizing their use through community-driven storytelling, and empowering individuals through support groups and educational tools.

Today, we’ve got Jackson Lemay—the GLP-1 Community sweetheart, an incredible advocate, and someone who knows how to make us laugh while fighting for change.

He’s touched so many lives, and if you don’t know him yet, you’re in for a treat.

Kim Carlos from The Plus Sidez Podcast is one of the original GLP-1 advocates and arguably one of the most successful to date. In this episode, she shares her inspiring story—how her journey began, why she started her advocacy efforts, and what continues to fuel her passion for change. The GLP-1 community would not be where it is today without her relentless dedication and impactful work. 💖

We interview Tappey Squires, who shares his journey on Zepbound as an avid cyclist.

Tappey opens up about his initial anxieties around starting this medication, his experience with his 150lb weight loss, and how he gained so much more—in confidence, improved health, and the ability to enjoy the sport he loves without pain.

His story is a testament to the transformative power of GLP-1 medications and the importance of finding freedom in your passions.

In this first episode of the GLP-1 Studio Podcast, we introduce the mission behind the show and how it began.

What started as a petition to protect affordable access to GLP-1 medications grew into the GLP-1 Collective nonprofit and a movement powered by patients, advocates, and community voices who refused to stay quiet.

This podcast is produced by GLP-1 Studio and centers real people, real stories, and the life-changing impact of GLP-1 care through education, advocacy, and lived experience.

Thank you for listening and for supporting the fight for affordable access to GLP-1 medications. Together, we can make real change happen.
