Peptides, Herbals & Hormones for Libido- PT-141, Oxytocin, Kisspeptin & the New Science of Desire
Episode 51
Friday, 13 February, 2026

Peptides, Herbals & Hormones for Libido: PT-141, Oxytocin, Kisspeptin & the New Science of Desire Low libido is not simply “aging.” It is neurobiology, hormone signaling, stress physiology, and receptor sensitivity. In this episode of Anti-Aging Unraveled, Dr. Lori Gerber explores the emerging science behind desire and sexual health through the lens of integrative and regenerative medicine. We discuss: • PT-141 (Bremelanotide) and melanocortin receptor activation • Oxytocin’s role in bonding, arousal, and emotional safety • Kisspeptin as the upstream regulator of the reproductive axis • Testosterone therapy in women and dosing considerations • Estradiol, progesterone, and vaginal tissue health • Nitric oxide pathways and vascular support • Sildenafil and tadalafil compared to peptide-based approaches • Adaptogenic herbals including Maca and Tongkat Ali • Stress, cortisol, thyroid function, and inflammatory effects on libido Desire begins in the hypothalamus. It is influenced by dopamine, oxytocin, estrogen receptors, nitric oxide production, and autonomic tone. Whether you are navigating menopause, erectile dysfunction, hypoactive sexual desire disorder, or simply want to understand the physiology of intimacy, this episode provides a science-based, integrative roadmap.
