Love, Lindsey Strong:
A new name, the same diary, plus what's coming next.
Hi friends,
Quick update: this Substack just got a new name.
If you opened your inbox this week and saw Love, Lindsey Strong instead of The DNA Diaries, that’s me. Same writer, same audience, same diary energy. New banner, broadened scope.
Here’s what changed and why:
Since I started this account, this Substack lived under The DNA Diaries — which fit when most of what I was writing about was DNA-based wellness and the unfiltered process of becoming myself in midlife, especially as I was rebuilding most of it last year. That’s still a huge piece of what shows up here.
But the conversation has expanded.
Peptides have become a much bigger part of what I write about, what my clients ask about, and what my own protocol looks like as I get deeper into what works for women over 40. And the diary side of it — hormones, hysterectomy recovery, how my labs are shifting, what my workouts and kitchen and supplements look like at almost-44 — that’s not slowing down either.
So the new name is wider on purpose:
Love, Lindsey Strong Peptides, DNA, and the science of biohacking for women over 40.
Same diary, more of it, plus the peptide and biohacking content that’s been getting pushed out of every other platform I write on.
About that — there’s a real reason the rename is happening now.
Three peptide videos in three weeks have been pulled from my Instagram. Each one was educational. Each one was content women were actively engaging with and asking questions about. Each one disappeared.
Substack is the only place I can write about peptides without watching them disappear. So that’s where the deeper peptide content is moving.
If you want a sense of what that looks like, this is what just went live — the GHK-Cu video META pulled, posted in full with the troubleshooting tips women were asking about in the comments before the video came down.
Now — about the new paid tier.
For the first time, I’m opening a paid subscription option.
Free tier (what you’ve already been getting): occasional diary-style posts, lifestyle and biohacking essays, hormone and HRT content, the conversations that don’t depend on platform restrictions.
Paid tier: the peptide content I can’t put publicly anywhere else outside of my paid courses — troubleshooting tips, the things I’m testing on myself, behind-the-scenes of my own GLOW protocol, my labs, what I’m seeing with clients, conceptual deep-dives on how peptides interact with DNA. Things you can only get here because they can’t live anywhere else.
If you’ve been here through the DNA Diaries era, thank you for being part of this becoming. Love, Lindsey Strong is just the next chapter — and you’re already part of it.
The diary continues.
Love, Lindsey Strong
