The Lindsey Elmore ShowA podcast for people who believe they deserve to be healthy. Author: Lindsey Elmore
What changes us?I'm Lindsey Elmore: pharmacist, educator, author, and speaker. For more than a decade I've helped people understand their health and make more informed decisions, on stages in about 35 countries and in hundreds of long-form conversations. I'm endlessly curious about what changes a life what we learn, what we believe, what we survive, and what we choose to do next.On this show I talk with physicians, researchers, authors, clinicians, and people whose experience has something to teach the rest of us. We get into medicine and pharmacology, mental wellness, hormones, longevity, and what the evidence actually says. We also get into the parts of life that no study fully explains: faith and doubt, grief, forgiveness, sobriety, the books that rearranged us, and the ordinary decisions that add up to a life.My training taught me to examine evidence, ask precise questions, and respect how much there is still to learn. My own life has given me plenty of chances to practice that last part. So I read the research so you don't have to, I ask the questions I'd want answered myself, and I come ready to be taught.Hundreds of episodes in, the thread hasn't changed: bigger questions, better conversations, and a willingness to reconsider what we thought we knew.This show is for education. It isn't medical advice, and it isn't a substitute for care from your own clinician.More at lindseyelmore.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lindsey-elmore-show--5952903/support.

Science Meets Intimacy: How Peptides May Boost Desire and Satisfaction
Saturday, 27 September, 2025
In this episode of The Lindsey Elmore Show, we dive into an intimate corner of peptide therapy—sexual health and desire. Lindsey explores two cutting-edge peptides, PT-141 (bremelanotide) and Kisspeptin, both of which show promise in enhancing sexual pleasure, intimacy, and overall satisfaction for women and men alike.She unpacks how PT-141, originally developed as a tanning agent, is now FDA-approved for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women, and how Kisspeptin is showing powerful results in clinical trials by boosting arousal while quieting guilt and self-consciousness in the brain.While these peptides may open new doors for intimacy and connection, Lindsey also reminds us that chemistry is only part of the equation—emotional intimacy and relational work remain essential.Key TakeawaysWhat Peptide Therapy Is (00:01–00:05) Small chains of amino acids can enhance multiple body systems, including sexual health.PT-141 (Bremelanotide) (00:16–02:29) Originally a tanning agent, now FDA-approved for treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women. Increases both desire and pleasure, though some users experience nausea or flushing.Safety & Sourcing (02:43–03:12) Avoid unregulated sprays found online; only use compounding pharmacies for safety and consistency.Kisspeptin Research (03:34–05:35) A neuropeptide was first discovered in cancer research. Clinical studies show it activates arousal-related brain regions while quieting guilt and self-consciousness. Found effective in both women and men, improving desire, arousal, and satisfaction.Emotional & Relational Context (05:59–06:59) Peptides may enhance sexual function, but emotional intimacy, cultural context, and relational dynamics are still central to true sexual well-being.Where the Field is Headed (07:02–07:09) Future episodes will explore peptide research in pain management and hormone regulation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lindsey-elmore-show--5952903/support.—THE LINDSEY ELMORE SHOW · Bigger questions.
