    Runner’s Gut: Should You Take Imodium Before Exercise?

    A recent competition in China put an uncomfortable but surprisingly common exercise problem into the spotlight: runner’s gut. Why can intense exercise suddenly trigger diarrhea or an urgent need for the bathroom? And does taking Imodium (loperamide) before a race make sense? In this episode of Trend Talk, we ask Larry, PharmD | Holistic Pharmacist Since 2006, to break down what may be happening inside the GI tract during strenuous exercise. We discuss exercise intensity, changes in blood flow, hydration, caffeine, pre-race foods and supplements—and why automatically reaching for an antidiarrheal may not address the underlying trigger. The bigger message: wellness isn’t about chasing every trend or reaching for another product. It’s about understanding your body and building a routine you can actually follow.

    Salmon DNA vs Copper Peptides: What’s Behind the Serum Hype?

    Does the science match the serum—or just the ingredient’s reputation? In this episode of Trend Talk, we explore PDRN, often called “salmon sperm” skincare, and copper peptides. Holistic pharmacist Larry Pham shares his takeaway from reviewing skincare research: consider the complete formula, how it’s delivered, and whether the evidence supports the finished product. Discover why injection research doesn’t automatically translate to topical results, why molecular size alone doesn’t prove effectiveness, and how a serum’s base can influence its fit for your skin.

    Fasting at Work: Healthy Habit or Just a Busy Shift?

    Fasting at Work: Healthy Habit or Just a Busy Shift? Going six or seven hours without eating—is that intermittent fasting, or simply how your workday unfolds? In this episode of Trend Talk, holistic pharmacist Larry Pham shares his experience navigating meals during 11-hour pharmacy shifts. He discusses why he sometimes waits to eat, how he feels overall, and why normal blood work doesn’t prove fasting caused those results. We explore the difference between planned fasting and long gaps between meals, practical food options for busy shifts, and medication considerations before changing your eating schedule.

    GLP-1 Weight Loss: Protein, Hunger & Late-Night Cravings

    GLP-1 medications may reduce appetite—but what happens when the urge to snack at night is still there? In this episode of Trend Talk, we asked holistic pharmacist Larry what he considers most important while navigating reduced appetite on a GLP-1. His first priority: protein. When you are eating less, making protein a priority can help support lean muscle and make the food you do eat more intentional. But Larry also points to something that is easy to overlook: late-night cravings may not always come from physical hunger. Sometimes the mind still expects the familiar routine of an evening snack—even when the stomach isn’t asking for food. The question becomes: Are you actually hungry, or are you responding to a habit or craving? We discuss why protein deserves attention during the day and why recognizing the difference between physical hunger and a mental urge to snack can be an important part of changing your routine. 🎙️ Trend Talk is a pharmacist-led wellness series from LL Wellness, brought to you by LL Supplement®.
