If you're curious about starting GLP-1 medications but worried about nausea, fatigue, or digestive issues—you’re not alone. Many patients are hesitant because of what they’ve heard about side effects on semaglutide or tirzepatide.
But what if you didn’t have to choose between results and comfort?
GLP-1 Squared, GOAL.MD’s dual-therapy protocol, was designed to do exactly that—support powerful weight loss while minimizing side effects through strategic combination dosing.
GLP-1 Squared is a new approach to GLP-1 treatment that combines two medications—Semaglutide and Tirzepatide—in a personalized plan designed to reduce side effects and improve results.
Rather than ramping up a single medication to high doses, this approach splits the metabolic workload between two agents at lower doses, working synergistically to support:
Appetite control
Stable blood sugar
Fat loss
Lower nausea
Fewer GI side effects

GLP-1 medications work by slowing gastric emptying, increasing satiety, and influencing insulin release. That’s how they reduce appetite and support fat loss—but these same effects can cause:
Nausea or bloating
Constipation or diarrhea
Fatigue or low energy
Dose-related dropout
Most side effects occur during dose escalation. The higher the dose, the more likely your GI system reacts negatively.
GLP-1 Squared uses synergy instead of intensity. Rather than pushing one medication to its max, we leverage the combined benefits of two at tolerable levels.
This method helps patients stay the course and see meaningful results without quitting early due to discomfort.
Absolutely. Our patients who combine GLP-1 Squared with intermittent fasting, light movement, or improved sleep tend to report even better results.
Fasting enhances GLP-1’s effects on satiety
Light movement improves digestion
Prioritizing hydration reduces fatigue and constipation
