I lost 70 pounds, regained about 30 over two years, and I’m back to GLP-1 plus protein-first meals. The part I can’t ignore this time is inflammation: my hands are stiff for the first hour of the day, my left knee complains on stairs, and my skin flares when I sleep badly.
I keep seeing peptides named for inflammation—BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu—and honestly I can’t tell if people are reporting real relief or just feeling better because weight and sleep changed. I’m not asking for a protocol; just lived experience.
Did a peptide quiet anything measurable or felt, or was it food, sleep, and dropping 10–15 pounds? What made you confident it wasn’t coincidence?
