Meet George Keywood
George Keywood is a British actor and TikTok influencer who has built a large online following by sharing honest moments from his life. In summer 2024, George decided to begin GLP-1 weight-loss treatment to improve his health and wellbeing.
For George, the decision wasn’t about chasing unrealistic expectations. It was about taking control of his health for himself and his family, while continuing to promote the message he often shares with his audience: body positivity and feeling comfortable in your own skin.
“I’m about promoting body positivity and being comfortable in your own skin. Starting my weight loss journey was about taking control of my health for me and my family.”
Because George shares much of his life online, he wanted to approach his weight-loss journey with honesty, documenting both the positives and the challenges along the way
“I’m about promoting body positivity and being comfortable in your own skin. Starting my weight loss journey was about taking control of my health for me and my family.”
Why he chose The Family Chemist
George chose The Family Chemist because their approach aligned with his own values around openness, safety and responsible care.
From the beginning, he felt supported by the team, particularly by Sunny, one of the directors, who helped guide him through the early stages of treatment.
“The Family Chemist were supportive and their values aligned with my own. That’s why I chose to go with them.”
Clear communication and trusted guidance helped George feel confident as he started treatment.
“From day one, Sunny, director at The Family Chemist, was very supportive and responsive. The communication was on point with information, videos and advice from trusted sources to support me to get started.”
Service and support
Throughout his journey, George says the service has been reliable, professional and supportive.
“It’s been great, I can’t fault it. The team at The Family Chemist have been so helpful and my medication is always delivered on time.”
Knowing he could rely on the team for guidance and consistent service allowed him to focus on building healthier habits and making long-term changes to support his health.
His treatment journey
“The experience has been really positive. I started losing weight and noticing improvements in my health.
George is currently using Mounjaro and began noticing changes within the first few weeks of starting treatment.
Because he shares his experience openly online, many of his followers have followed his progress and offered encouragement along the way.
“I am using Mounjaro and I noticed changes in the first few weeks. Because I have shared my journey publicly, my followers have seen my progress over the last couple of years.”
While social media can sometimes bring mixed opinions, George says the overall response has been overwhelmingly supportive.
“Although some people can be negative about it, overall I’m really proud to have created a place where we can support and encourage each other to become healthier versions of ourselves.”
The results have been steady and significant.
“The experience has been really positive. I started losing weight and noticing improvements in my health. Within a year I had lost a stone. 17 months later I have lost 10 stone and I feel great.”
Perhaps most importantly, George says he now feels more confident and comfortable in himself.
“I’m more comfortable in my skin, which is a great feeling.”
The impact on his daily life
Over 17 months, George has lost 10 stone while using Mounjaro, alongside making lasting lifestyle changes.
For him, the biggest differences are often the everyday moments that many people take for granted.
“It’s the everyday small things, like I can walk up the stairs more easily, get in and out of the car more comfortably, and fit in a regular aeroplane seat.”
He also feels healthier overall, with noticeable improvements in his general wellbeing.
“I feel more comfortable in my own skin. I feel better overall and my general wellbeing has improved.”
The medication has helped him better control portion sizes while supporting healthier eating habits.
“The medication helps me control how much I’m eating and my portion sizes have reduced significantly. I needed that to help me lose weight.”
One of the most significant health improvements has been reversing a previous diagnosis.
“I used to be prediabetic and now I’m not anymore.”
George believes the lifestyle changes he has developed throughout this journey will stay with him long term.
“The changes are beyond weight loss. The lifestyle changes and habits I have formed have been cemented in me and I will carry that forward into the future.”
Like many treatments, George experienced some side effects during the process.
“I experienced some gastrointestinal side effects and feeling cold sometimes.”
However, these were manageable and did not outweigh the overall benefits he experienced.
George’s advice to others
For anyone considering weight-loss treatment, George encourages patience and consistency.
“The advice I’d give to others is to be patient and consistent with your weight loss journey. It’s takes time and you have to be honest about your lifestyle and be willing to stick at it.”
He also stresses the importance of choosing a trusted and regulated provider.
“Make sure you go to a registered pharmacy or official healthcare provider so everything is safe. You don’t want to be taking risks with your health with the things you are putting into your body.”
“The changes are beyond weight loss. The lifestyle changes and habits I have formed have been cemented in me and I will carry that forward into the future.”
"Within a year I had lost a stone. 17 months later I have lost 10 stone and I feel great. Thank you to The Family Chemist because without their support I wouldn’t have achieved what I have achieved.”
10 out of 10 experience with The Family Chemist
George rates his experience 10 out of 10 and says the support from the team made a real difference to his journey.
“Thank you to The Family Chemist because without their support I wouldn’t have achieved what I have achieved.”
He also credits the wider team for ensuring his treatment was safe and well supported.
“They are great people and the support I have got from The Family Chemist has been on point. They’ve made sure everything was safe and made the process easy.”
