## Resource

In today's episode we're diving into groundbreaking research suggesting that lithium deficiency may be a primary driver of Alzheimer's disease and brain aging. We explore how amyloid plaques trap lithium, starving healthy brain tissue and accelerating cognitive decline. You’ll learn why the specific form of the supplement matters, specifically how lithium orotate - unlike the common lithium carbonate - can bypass these plaques to protect your brain and potentially block plaque formation. We also touch on natural dietary sources and why caution is still needed before starting a new supplementation routine.
