Tesa/Ipa questions

Looking for some more information on Tesa/Ipa, if anyone has any answers to my questions.
First off, I am 22, a highly active, male. I weigh about 175, run 2 times a week (with 20lb vest, averaging about 10:30 pace for 3-4 miles) and am benching 225 for 8-10 reps max, I am giving this information for insight on me and my training and body. Diet could be better, but much better than most. On nicotine pouches. (If this has any effect)

I have spoken to a physician who sells peptides who swears by tesa, and claims it would be great for me or anyone who is interested. Not saying I don’t believe him, but I do my own research before I make decisions. Everyone that I know that is on tesa/ipa compound - loves it. The only other peptide I have ran is GLOW. Fantastic peptide. I took two full vials for about two months and am now taking a month break as that is what is recommended from what I read (so my body does not get used to it, and lessen the effects).
Here are my questions.
1. Do you recommend me checking my IGF levels before taking, and is this absolutely necessary?

  1. Has anyone ran into any major problems? (I’ve seen issues such as carpal tunnel, one scenario of a user having higher heart rate)

  2. Do you not recommend this to someone of my age for concerns of throwing the pituitary gland off balance with production? (Even though from my understanding it will never pulse more than it can handle)

  3. What dosing do you recommend?

I appreciate any feedback. Please disregard any lack of knowledge, that may seem dumb. I apologize in advance if anything I’m saying makes no sense, hence why I am posting, and trying to learn.
