Compounded Tirzepatide (Dual GLP-1/GIP) — Physician-Supervised at Naya Wellness
Naya Wellness in Santa Barbara offers compounded tirzepatide — a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist that targets two metabolic pathways simultaneously for faster, more dramatic fat loss than semaglutide alone. Serving the Santa Barbara area, from the scenic coastal community to Goleta, Montecito, Carpinteria, and beyond.
Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist — a breakthrough medication that activates TWO metabolic hormones simultaneously. Unlike semaglutide, which targets only GLP-1, tirzepatide engages both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, resulting in significantly more powerful appetite suppression, metabolic activation, and fat loss.
At Naya Wellness in Santa Barbara, we prescribe compounded tirzepatide from an FDA-registered 503B pharmacy, paired with B6 or Vitamin B12 to reduce nausea and support energy. This allows for personalized dosing and ongoing clinical adjustments tailored to your specific needs.
Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in Mounjaro® and Zepbound®. Our compounded version offers the same proven dual-action mechanism at flexible dosing, typically at a lower cost than brand-name alternatives.
Results vary by individual. All programs are physician-supervised. Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved. Dispensed from FDA-registered 503B compounding pharmacies.
The Program
Getting started is straightforward. Our clinical team guides you from evaluation to results with ongoing support at every step.
Meet with our physician or nurse practitioner — in-person at our Santa Barbara clinic or via telehealth — to review your health history, weight loss goals, and determine your eligibility for compounded tirzepatide.
Your clinician creates a titrated dosing schedule starting at a low dose, increasing gradually over weeks to minimize side effects and maximize fat loss. Tirzepatide is paired with B6 or B12 for optimal tolerance.
Monthly check-ins — in-person or virtual — to review your progress, adjust dosing, and provide nutrition and lifestyle coaching. Our team is available throughout your entire program.
Why Tirzepatide
Compounded tirzepatide offers a medically proven path to faster, more dramatic weight loss — especially for patients who need rapid progress or have struggled with semaglutide alone.
Phase 3 clinical trials demonstrated average weight loss of 20–22% of total body weight — significantly higher than semaglutide's 15–20%, and more powerful results than lifestyle intervention alone.
The dual GLP-1/GIP mechanism produces dramatically stronger appetite suppression than semaglutide alone, leading to smaller portion sizes and fewer cravings throughout the day.
Beyond weight loss, tirzepatide significantly improves insulin sensitivity, reduces blood glucose, lowers A1C, and enhances cardiovascular health — particularly powerful for patients with pre-diabetes or metabolic syndrome.
A single weekly subcutaneous injection — self-administered at home — makes tirzepatide far more manageable than daily pills or multiple injections per week.
Every Naya tirzepatide program is managed by a licensed clinician — not an algorithm. You get personalized dosing adjustments and direct access to our Santa Barbara medical team throughout.
Naya's Weight Loss Optimization membership is billed monthly and includes your compounded tirzepatide, physician consultations, and dose management — with no surprise fees.

FAQ
Compounded tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist that activates two metabolic hormones simultaneously — making it more powerful than single-action GLP-1 medications like semaglutide. It slows gastric emptying, dramatically reduces appetite, stabilizes blood sugar, and increases energy expenditure — leading to faster, more dramatic fat loss. At Naya Wellness in Santa Barbara, it is paired with B6 or B12 to support energy and reduce nausea. It is the active ingredient found in Mounjaro® and Zepbound®, dispensed in compounded form from an FDA-registered 503B pharmacy.
Clinical studies show an average weight loss of 20–22% of total body weight with tirzepatide over 6–12 months of physician-supervised treatment — notably higher than semaglutide alone. Individual results vary based on starting weight, lifestyle, and adherence. At Naya Wellness in Santa Barbara, our team monitors your progress and adjusts dosing to optimize your outcomes.
Tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, whereas semaglutide only activates GLP-1. This dual-action mechanism makes tirzepatide significantly more potent, resulting in faster weight loss (20–22% vs. 15–20%), greater appetite suppression, and stronger metabolic improvements. Tirzepatide is often the better choice for patients who need more rapid progress or have struggled with semaglutide alone.
Mounjaro® is the brand name for tirzepatide developed for type 2 diabetes management. Zepbound® is the same active ingredient formulated specifically for weight loss. Our compounded tirzepatide contains the identical active ingredient, dispensed from an FDA-registered 503B pharmacy at personalized doses often lower in cost than brand-name versions.
The most common side effects are mild nausea, reduced appetite, and occasional gastrointestinal discomfort — particularly when starting or increasing the dose. These typically resolve within a few weeks. Because tirzepatide is more potent than semaglutide, side effects may be slightly more pronounced initially; however, our gradual titration protocol and B6/B12 supplementation minimize discomfort while maximizing results.
Tirzepatide is appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27+ with at least one weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. It is ideal for patients who have struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise alone — particularly those who need faster, more significant results. A clinical consultation at Naya Wellness in Santa Barbara will confirm your eligibility.
No. While in-person visits are available at our Santa Barbara clinic at 601 E Arrellaga St #101, Naya Wellness also offers virtual consultations for California patients. Compounded tirzepatide is shipped directly from an FDA-registered 503B pharmacy to your home, and follow-up check-ins are handled via telehealth.
Most patients are on a compounded tirzepatide program for 6–12 months to reach their goal weight — often reaching targets faster than with semaglutide due to tirzepatide's superior efficacy. After reaching their target, our physicians develop a maintenance plan — which may include continued lower doses or lifestyle modifications — to sustain results long term.
