About Start Being Healthy
Faryal Faisal is a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) graduate of the University of Karachi with clinical internship experience at Dr. Ziauddin Hospital and the Karachi Institute of Kidney Diseases — two of Pakistan's leading healthcare institutions. She currently writes peer-reviewed medical articles for Klarity, a global healthcare platform, applying her pharmaceutical training to produce accurate, evidence-based health content.
At Start Being Healthy, Faryal serves as the lead health writer and medical reviewer. She authors and reviews all content related to weight loss medications (including Semaglutide and Ozempic), supplements, anti-inflammatory nutrition, intermittent fasting, and metabolic health. Her PharmD background means drug mechanisms, dosing information, and supplement interactions are reviewed from a clinical standpoint — not simply summarised from other websites.
