My 1-Month Update on Compounded Tirzepatide | Brutally Honest & REAL ADVICE
Our summary
Nelly Jane gives an update on her weight loss with compounded tirzepatide. She says she has lost 10 lbs since June 27, which she describes as the first 10 lbs she has lost in three to four years. She says she wants to lose weight at a sustainable pace so she can keep it off after she stops the medication. She reports being on 20 units a week, though she has mostly been taking 15 units, and often draws only 12 or 13 units, splitting the dose across two days such as Monday and Friday. She says she has been on tirzepatide for not quite a month, after using compounded semaglutide before.

What else the video covers
Most of the video is about habits she says made the difference. She says getting her steps in was the biggest change, and she explains how she arranged her life to do it: a first-floor apartment, a home within walking distance of work, walking to and from work every day, walking to a nearby gym, and walking her dog more often. She says these routines alone add up to about 6 to 7,000 steps. She also moved her walking pad to her desk and made a rule that she can only play Sims while walking. She adds that she has started light intermittent jogging, which she says helps her sleep.
She then covers food, drawing on a podcast with Jay Shetty and Mindy Pelz that she links. She says she now eats more whole foods, eats two big meals with a protein snack if needed, eats while it is light out, and favors foods without labels. She says she is replacing "I can't" with "I'm training myself," and focuses on being 1% better each day rather than on the total she has left to lose.

Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.
- Tirzepatide vs semaglutide: the head-to-head result, and what the better one costs
They were finally tested against each other. In SURMOUNT-5, 751 adults with obesity took the maximum tolerated dose of one or the other for 72 weeks: tirzepatide lost 20.2% of body weight, semaglutide 13.7%. That gap is real and it is the whole argument for tirzepatide. The other half of the decision is the bill: compounded tirzepatide runs from $85 a month on our board against $69 for semaglutide, and the branded gap is wider still.
- Retatrutide: up to 28.3% weight loss in trials, no FDA approval yet, and no legal way to buy it today
Retatrutide is Eli Lilly's experimental weekly injection that acts on three hormone receptors (GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon). In the phase 3 TRIUMPH-1 trial, people on the 12 mg dose lost 28.3% of their weight at 80 weeks by Lilly's efficacy measure (25.0% counting everyone randomized). It is not FDA-approved, has no price, and cannot legally be sold. Lilly plans to file with FDA in Q1 2027. Tirzepatide is the closest thing you can buy now, compounded from $85 a month on our board.
