Libido side quest: anyone else reading peptide papers?

Tbh i’m about seven months on a GLP-1 and down 28 lb, and the odd part is my libido has been quieter than I expected. Could be the calorie deficit, could be sleep — I’m averaging 5.5 hours — could be less spontaneous eating turning into less spontaneous everything? I keep seeing peptide names floated for desire, and when I actually read the papers, the story is narrower than the forum chatter. In the trials I’ve skimmed, effects are modest, mostly in specific groups, and there’s a lot of flushing/nausea type stuff to weigh. I’m not against it; I just want to understand mechanism before I get excited. For anyone who’s gone down this rabbit hole: did you sort out whether your issue was the med, the weight loss, hormones, or just life? And did a clinician actually help you connect those dots? I’m trying not to chase a compound before I’ve checked the boring stuff first.
