After an accidental three-and-a-half-month hiatus, we are back with updates and committing to every week. We catch up on kids, summer camps, GLP-1 dosing and pricing, HRT and perimenopause, peptides, and one genuinely scary night at the tennis court.

Eva shares what she learned digging into the GLP-1 market, from the shell-website pharmacies to the discovery that most of them source from the same distributor, and how she finally found an affordable telehealth source she trusts that also ships fast and costs a fraction of what she used to pay.

Kami shares how backing off her dose and starting HRT collided with perimenopause rage, and why she's rebuilding her plan around her budget instead of the scale.

A heat-stroke scare at Sunday-night tennis turns into a talk about not eating all day to lose weight, a running debate about how much protein a person can actually stomach, and the usual detour through their kids, from cupcake camp to a very memorable definition of "making love."

Eva + Kami are two old-ish moms kids confronting our reasons for being obese while losing weight on semaglutide and tirzepatide, and roasting our past selves. Sarcasm is our happy place.

After a friend (who is a plastic surgeon) talked Eva into starting semaglutide in February of 2023, she lost 70 pounds in 14 months, alternating between long stretches of being stalled at the same weight and consistent but slow weight loss.  With the dream of being considered just overweight and not obese by the BMI calculator, Eva switched to tirzepatide after 14 months to try and reach a goal that still seems just out of reach.
 
A prolific eater of her feelings, Kami was tired of being uncomfortable and when she heard through a mutual friend how semaglutide had changed Eva’s life, she found a trusted medical weight loss provider and took the first step. 

As Kami starts her life on semaglutide, Eva adjusts to a world with less food noise and figures out how to let go of the crippling negative self-talk. 

On each episode, we connect on how our lives are changing in real time as semaglutide and tirzepatide help us be smaller people, and try to answer the bigger question for ourselves: 

When there’s less of you, what is left?
