Replacing The Microwave (Also Known As The Micro-Wah-Vay)
Less of You: Life on Semaglutide & TirzepatideShow Notes
After an important discussion about the microwave (also known as the micro-wah-vay), we theorize that GLP-1s are basically commoditized now.
Meanwhile, to fix the microwave door, Eva's husband drove actual screws through it (that’s not how microwaves work) and we get an update on Kami's small claims case against her former broker.
Eva considers an unexpected opportunity to get her very loose turkey neck skin fixed with the new Junera laser, which was at the top of the wish list someday, and now that day is next Monday.
Kami reports back on her first EpixNxt order and walks through the whole thing: a thorough intake form, telemedicine approval, and a tracking number in under a day — coming in around $125 a month, less than the $170–$300 the local compounding pharmacies quoted.
Questions answered by this episode Why are compounded GLP-1 medications getting cheaper? How do online tirzepatide prices compare to a local compounding pharmacy? If I've been off a GLP-1 for months, how should I restart my dose? What is the Junera laser and can it tighten loose neck skin after weight loss? Is loose skin on the neck caused by weight loss or genetics? Follow us on Instagram: @lessofyoupodcast

Kami is five days into recovery from a balloon sinuplasty and turbinate reduction, and it has been brutal — she’s too congested to wear her CPAP, she can’t use her mouth guard while mouth-breathing all night, and she’s up every hour drinking water. Before any of that came up, though, she showed off three new waist-length hair extension colors, Foxy, Aurora, and Paprika, from Wildcrafted Beauty.
Eva marched a Stephen King-grade demon clown costume up to the register in a store for kids — and when the manager disagreed that it didn’t belong there, she bought $50 Boden sneakers out of spite for the place. Weeks later, her 6-year-old still won't go to the bathroom alone, because in her mind, the clown lives there now.
Eva hadn't budged from 186 for a year and a half — until she stepped on it this week and saw 180, a number she hasn't seen in ages, ice cream summer in Washington included.
Three weeks after her Halo resurfacing, Eva decides to take the opportunity to have a Junera laser treatment, a new technology that treats the skin from within to tighten the face and neck from the inside.
After Eva went in for Halo laser resurfacing with a friend (who happens to be one of the best in the world), she walked out looking horrifying (according to the 8 year old) then drove straight to a dance recital tearing a cooling mask in half and swapping it between cheeks.
