  • Science Meets Intimacy: How Peptides May Boost Desire and Satisfaction

    Science Meets Intimacy: How Peptides May Boost Desire and Satisfaction
    Sep 28 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 Takeaways
    • What 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.

  • The Problem with Drug Pricing | Dr. Lindsey Elmore

    The Problem with Drug Pricing | Dr. Lindsey Elmore
    Sep 17 2025
    In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Lindsey Elmore exposes the chaos unfolding in the UK as Mounjaro (weight loss/diabetes medication) prices skyrocket 170% overnight—jumping from £92 to £330 per month. Discover how Eli Lilly's "European price matching" triggered panic buying, crashed pharmacy websites, and left patients spending over £1,000 to stockpile medications. Lindsey examines the real-world impact, even in the U.S.: supply shortages, hoarding behaviors, and the unfair advantage given to those who can afford to bulk-buy versus patients with genuine medical needs. A must-listen for understanding how arbitrary pharmaceutical pricing decisions affect real people's access to life-sustaining medications.

    Main Topic Introduction
    • 00:00-00:30: Discussion focuses on Mounjaro (weight loss/diabetes medication) pricing crisis in the UK
    The Price Hike
    • 00:37-01:13: Massive 170% price increase starting September 1st, 2025
      • Current price: £92/month
      • New price: £330/month (up from planned £122/month)
    • 01:25-01:41: Eli Lilly justifies increase as "adjusting prices to match the rest of Europe"
    Pharmacy Response
    • 00:37 & 01:41-02:01: UK's largest online pharmacy "Pharmacy2U" freezes prices, then stops sales entirely
    Panic Buying Crisis
    • 02:09-02:34: Patients stockpiling medications before price hikes
    • 02:22: Pharmacies offering 3, 6, or 9-month bundles
    • 02:44-02:59: Real examples: patients buying 7-8 pens, spending over £1,000 in panic purchases
    • 04:35: Pharmacy websites crashing from demand
    Supply Chain Impact
    • 02:59-03:24: Hoarding strains supply chains and prevents access for patients who truly need the medication
    • 03:24-03:44: Medical experts urge against hoarding injectable medications at home
    Core Issues Identified
    • 03:51-04:12: Access and fairness concerns - distinguishing between medical necessity vs. cosmetic use
    • 05:37-05:57: Drug prices change "for no reason at all" with no patient input
    • 06:08-06:27: Need to prioritize patients who medically need medications over those who can afford to stockpile
    Solutions Proposed
    • 04:59-05:27: Work with legislators through existing Inflation Reduction Act framework
    • 06:27-06:55: Legislative action needed to control "absurd" arbitrary drug pricing, especially for life-sustaining medications
    Episode Conclusion
    • 07:06-07:14: Show closing: encouraging wise health decisions

  • Peptide Injections Explained: Can the Wolverine Shot Really Boost Recovery and Longevity?

    Peptide Injections Explained: Can the Wolverine Shot Really Boost Recovery and Longevity?
    Sep 12 2025
    In this solo episode, Lindsey dives into the world of peptide injections, with a focus on the controversial “Wolverine shot” (BPC-157). She explores what peptides are, why they’re trending in gyms, wellness clinics, and med spas, and how they’re marketed for muscle gain, fat loss, recovery, and anti-aging.

    Lindsey discusses the science (and lack thereof), FDA concerns, and potential risks like overdosing, contamination, and unregulated use. She closes by reminding listeners that while peptides are intriguing, true health and longevity still come from foundational practices—quality sleep, nutrition, strength training, and meaningful human connection.

    Listen in to learn more :
    • 01:03 – Why People Use Peptides
      Claimed benefits include lean muscle gain, faster recovery, testosterone support, fat loss, and anti-aging. However, the evidence base is thin.
    • 01:18 – BPC-157 and Other Peptides
      • BPC-157: derived from stomach peptides, believed to speed up tissue healing and reduce inflammation.
      • Tesamorelin: studied for HIV-related fat reduction.
      • Sermorelin: targeted for sleep and recovery.
      • CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin: growth hormone–related stacks are popular among bodybuilders.
    • 02:28 – Lack of Scientific Evidence
      Most data comes from animal studies or small trials, not significant human clinical research.
    • 03:55 – FDA Concerns
      The FDA flagged four peptides in 2022; that number jumped to 26 by the end of 2023, showing rapid regulatory scrutiny.
    • 04:42 – Anecdotal Use by Doctors and CEOs
      Some report success with peptides like BPC-157 for injuries, but even they acknowledge the lack of robust science.
    • 05:35 – Risks of Overuse and Contamination
      • Overdosing risks: especially when combining peptides with testosterone, leading to organ enlargement.
      • Contamination/mislabeling: Many peptides sold are unregulated, increasing health risks.
    • 06:15 – Back to Basics for Longevity
      Despite the hype, proven health strategies remain the same: sleep, exercise, protein, reducing sugar, strength training, and social connection.
