Body recomposition is the slower, less-flashy cousin of weight loss. The scale may barely move; the change shows up in the mirror, in lifts, in how clothes fit. The protocol pairs peptides that support lean retention with — when clinically appropriate — a low-dose GLP-1 that creates a modest caloric deficit without flattening training capacity.
Eligibility, stack design, and dosing are determined individually by a licensed clinician.
Stack component
Sermorelin
Supports natural GH release for lean retention and recovery.
Stack component
NAD+
Supports cellular energy and recovery during a recomposition phase.
Stack component
Microdose GLP-1
Modest appetite signal — without flattening training capacity.

FAQ
Common questions
What is body recomposition?
Body recomposition is the process of reducing body fat while preserving — or in some cases gaining — lean muscle mass. The scale may stay flat or even rise slightly during a successful recomposition phase, because lean tissue is being added at roughly the same rate as fat is being lost. The visible and measurable change is in waist, posture, training capacity, and body composition metrics, not weight.
How is recomposition different from weight loss?
Weight loss programs target a reduction in total body weight, typically as the primary success metric. Recomposition programs hold scale weight roughly steady while shifting the ratio of lean mass to fat mass. The protocols, monitoring cadence, and what "success" looks like all differ.
Which peptides are used in a recomposition stack?
A typical TelePeptide recomposition stack includes sermorelin (to support natural growth hormone release and lean mass retention), a foundational peptide like NAD+ or B12/MIC (to support recovery and energy), and — when clinically appropriate — microdose GLP-1 to gently reduce caloric intake without flattening training capacity. The exact stack is determined by a licensed clinician based on goals and history.
Why include a low-dose GLP-1 in a recomposition stack?
Microdose GLP-1 helps create the modest, sustained caloric deficit that supports fat reduction while peptides like sermorelin support lean retention. The dose is much lower than the standard weight-loss escalation curve — the goal is to nudge appetite without producing the strong suppression that interferes with training and recovery.
Who is a good fit for a recomposition program?
Patients who train consistently, are at or near a healthy BMI, and want measurable composition change rather than significant scale change tend to be the best fit. Patients whose primary goal is significant weight loss are typically better served by the Medical Weight Loss track. Eligibility for any peptide protocol is determined individually by the prescribing clinician.
How long does a recomposition phase take?
Composition change is slower than scale change — patients typically run a recomposition stack for 12 to 16 weeks before reassessing. Visible changes in waist, posture, and training quality usually emerge in the second month. Individual results vary, and TelePeptide does not promise any specific outcome.
How is progress monitored?
Because the scale is not the primary signal, monitoring focuses on waist circumference, resting heart rate trends, training session quality, and patient-reported energy and recovery. Your clinician will recommend a tracking cadence at intake.
How do I get started?
Complete the online intake and select the Tone & Recompose track. A licensed clinician will review your goals and training history within 48 hours and design a stack — or recommend an alternative if recomposition is not the right fit.

Design a recomposition stack with a clinician
A licensed clinician will review your goals and recommend the right protocol — peptide wellness, recomposition, or supervised weight loss. No insurance, no waiting room.
