Starting Strong with GobyMeds: A Guide to the Compounded Tirzepatide Starter Bundle

Starting a new medication is a big step—and at GobyMeds, we’re here to make that step smoother, safer, and more supported. If you’re beginning your journey with compounded tirzepatide, our 12-week Starter Bundle is designed to help your body adjust gradually while setting the stage for long-term success.

Let’s take a closer look at why titration matters and how a starter protocol works.

Why “Start Low and Go Slow” Works

Compounded tirzepatide is a GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist. It works by mimicking natural hormones that help regulate appetite, insulin, and digestion. Because it can affect your gastrointestinal system and blood sugar response, starting at the full dose immediately can increase the risk of side effects.

That’s where titration comes in.

Titration means increasing your dose slowly over time. This strategy allows your body to adjust more comfortably and reduces the likelihood of experiencing unpleasant symptoms early on.

Think of it like warming up before a long run—you prepare your body gradually, so you’re less likely to strain or stumble.

Common Side Effects and Why Titration Helps

Some individuals may experience side effects when starting GLP-1/GIP therapies. These can include:

• Nausea
• Diarrhea or constipation
• Bloating or a feeling of fullness
• Fatigue

By gradually increasing your tirzepatide dose, you give your body time to adjust to each step. This can significantly reduce both the frequency and intensity of side effects - making it more likely that you’ll stay consistent with your treatment.

Example 12-Week Tirzepatide Starter Protocol (mg/week)

Here’s an example of how a tirzepatide titration schedule might look:

• Weeks 1–2: 1.6 mg once weekly
• Weeks 3–6: 3.0 mg once weekly
• Weeks 7–10: 6.0 mg once weekly
• Weeks 11–12: 9.0 mg once weekly

Note: This protocol is an example only. The actual dose prescribed may be modified based on your individual needs after a licensed provider’s review.

What Happens After Week 12?

The goal of the Starter Bundle is to help you and your provider find the lowest effective dose—the dose where you experience meaningful support (such as appetite regulation) with manageable side effects.

From there, your provider may recommend continuing at your Week 12 dose or adjusting based on how your body responds. Everyone’s journey is different—and GobyMeds is here to guide yours.
