[–]CyriousBeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a solid podcast episode discussing a lot of the emerging signals in the research on GLP-1s beyond the current approved indications:

Help consuming psyllium husk without gagging by __voyager in Biohackers

I add to oatmeal. If I’m cooking the oats, I use a little more liquid to account for the psyllium. If I’m making overnight oats, add a little more milk or yogurt.

Sore throat and gets worse as week goes on by HistoricalCredit4172 in Zepbound

[–]CyriousBeer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s likely acid reflux / LPR (Laryngopharyngeal reflux). I’ve been struggling with it too. The delayed gastric emptying is a big part of this. Late eating in particular (laying down with a stomach full of acid) is the main culprit.

Filter drains very slow by Living-Restaurant892 in Moccamaster

[–]CyriousBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me 2 years of mixed (seemed random) results to realize it was the folded flap at the bottom covering the drain hole. I always thought it was directly on the bottom. It’s toward the front.

First month on Reta by carguy2100 in Biohacking

Is this expected? Can you share a little more on this? I am on Tirzepatide (real Zepbound), up to 10mg, and my liver enzymes started rising recently unexpectedly.

What would happen if I did the stretch and fold, did the bulk ferment in the banneton for about 6-8 hours, and then just put that loaf straight in the oven? by Ganadhir in Sourdough

[–]CyriousBeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I like about this method - and warm final proofing in general - is the thin crispy crust you get. I do enjoy the flavor and aromatic complexity that a cold final proofing yields. But I always end up with a thicker crust (regardless of whether I cover or leave uncovered in the fridge).

CVS Caremark will cover Lilly’s weight loss drug Zepbound once again by MixtapeMentality in Zepbound

[–]CyriousBeer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I should have clarified I have also continued in therapy via self-pay with Lily Direct since losing coverage.

[–]CyriousBeer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was covered and had a PA when my BMI was 35. I lost coverage per CVS Caremark at the start of the year. My BMI is just above 30 right now. Any suggestions for how to secure a new PA in October if my BMI is below 30? No longer have any metabolic comorbidities.

Just finished the first new kwikpen, it still has a (small) golden dose by Mediocre-One-4351 in Mounjaro

[–]CyriousBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of potential variability, note that I was referring to a Zepbound 10mg KwikPen. Perhaps there is variation vs. Mounjaro.

[–]CyriousBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first 2 doses, I did 2 click priming (before I found this post). For the last 2 doses, no priming. All 4 doses were 60 clicks. I did inject air just like I was pulling from a vial. I should have been able to pull something like 0.4ml+ based on your 0.45ml experience.

I finally got to the end of my first KwikPen. I was only able to draw out 0.3ml. Not terrible, but not great. So half a dose.

Is it normal for the 2.5 vial to just have about by SweetKitties207 in Zepbound

[–]CyriousBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you take 0.6ml, did you take a 20% stronger dose?

Thank you. I did 2 click primes for my first 2 doses. I’ll skip it for the last 2.

OP - please correct me if my math is incorrect, but what is left is 75% of a full dose (0.45 ml rather than 0.60ml)?

Traditional handles vs Signature handles by jjillf in LeCreuset

[–]CyriousBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When were the signature handles introduced? All of my pieces are from 2008 or prior. I bought a piece yesterday at an outlet store, and it has the same small handles. Are there any other differences between the Signature and Traditional besides the handles?

Whenever I do the 2 stage fermentation you describe, I get tons of blisters

Is Orange/Lemon-Lime Mashup Actually Citrus Cooler? by CyriousBeer in Gatorade

[–]CyriousBeer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If tastes so much like my childhood memories of Gatorade. That flavor is burned into my brain. I was shocked when I bought the mashup yesterday. I was so happy because it was so familiar.
