🎙️ This week on The Victory Medical Podcast, Donna Lee is joined by Victory Medical Center (VMC) Pharmacy's Pharmacist in Charge (aka the PIC!), Aaron Zamanian, Pharmacy Director and peptide program specialist, to talk about one of his favorite peptides: larazotide!

What in the world is a "leaky gut," and why is everyone talking about it? 🤔 Aaron breaks it all down in a way that's easy to understand, explaining how larazotide works by helping restore the intestinal barrier, regulating tight junctions, and reducing inflammation that can be triggered by things like gluten. He also explains the important role of zonulin, why it matters, and how it all connects to gut health and overall wellness.

If you've been hearing the buzz about peptides but aren't quite sure what they do, this episode is a great place to start! 🎧

Tune in to The Victory Medical Podcast and discover why peptides are one of the hottest topics in health and wellness today. For more information about larazotide and the many other peptides available through Victory Medical Center, visit VictoryRejuvenate.com.

And remember... there's a peptide for that! 😉
