Need advice on next steps after Mounjaro peptides for muscle and skin recovery

[guster]

Hey everyone,




Looking for some advice from people who have transitioned off GLP-1s into peptides.



I’ve been on Mounjaro since April, started at 105 kg, and I’m now around 80 kg. Never went higher than 7.5 mg and it worked really well for me. I lost a lot of fat from 34% and I’m currently sitting at about 18 percent body fat, but I also lost quite a bit of muscle in the process. I’ve always been active and trained in the gym, so luckily I still have a decent base, but I feel flatter than before. The main thing that bothers me now is the loose skin around my stomach. It’s not extreme, but it keeps me from looking as fit as I feel.


I know I could try to cut more, but at this point I think what I really need is to rebuild muscle, tighten the skin, and focus on recovery. I also have some cartilage damage in my knee from an old ACL injury, so I’d like to help that heal too.

My plan is to try a peptide stack, something like Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin, maybe BPC-157 for tissue and joint repair, and GHK-Cu for skin tightening. The goal is not more fat loss but to recomp a bit, gain muscle, improve skin elasticity, and help my knee recover.




Has anyone here run something similar after finishing Mounjaro? Any feedback on doses, timing, or whether I should add or skip something for my situation would be really appreciated. I train 4 to 5 times a week and eat around 2000 kcal with high protein.





Thanks in advance

This is not a recommendation but a hypothetical synergy. Stack Enclomiphene, Tesamorelin, Ipamorelin.

This stack simultaneously optimizing both the testosterone axis (via Enclomiphene, which also preserves fertility) and the Growth Hormone/IGF-1 axis (via Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin for better body composition and recovery).

This carries increased cardiovascular and metabolic strain (like higher blood sugar), and requires constant, precise medical monitoring due to the unknown long-term consequences of stimulating two major endocrine systems at once. You would probably want frequent blood work to monitor:

• Testosterone (Total & Free)
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and FSH
• Estradiol (E2)
• IGF-1 (to track GH axis activation)
• Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) to monitor glucose/insulin health.

Copper peptide 2mg daily for skin tightening has mixed reviews so you may just need to see how it works. BPC-157 daily, and TB500 weekly is a protocol I’ve seen promoted for tissue repair and recovery. NAD+ and KPV are also things to consider for inflammation reduction and energy. I don’t think any of these have solid human evidence. So YMMV.
