Core Health Darien CT-The Missing Brain Mineral: Lithium orotate

Most people hear the word "lithium" and immediately think of heavy psychiatric medications or batteries. But what if we've been looking at it all wrong? What if, in tiny, natural doses, it is actually an essential trace mineral that our modern brains are starving for?In this episode, we break down the science of Lithium Orotate in plain English. We explore the groundbreaking research from physician and molecular geneticist Dr. Michael Nehls—author of the eye-opening new book, The Conspiracy Against Lithium, and creator of the michaelnehls.substack.com newsletter. We discuss how micro-dosing this simple salt could be a powerful, non-invasive way to clear brain fog, sweep away stress damage, and naturally support emotional resilience.The Big Misconception (Prescription vs. Supplement): Explain the difference between prescription lithium (which is taken in massive doses and can have toxic side effects) and over-the-counter lithium orotate. Lithium orotate is just a natural mineral bound to an acid our bodies already make, allowing it to cross into the brain easily in very small, safe microdoses. The "Brain Broom" Effect: When we get stressed, our bodies pump out cortisol, which can damage brain cells over time. Lithium orotate acts as a neuroprotectant—think of it as a broom that helps sweep away that stress-induced damage. It even helps the brain grow brand new pathways (neurogenesis) and boosts cellular energy.  Dr. Michael Nehls’s core argument from his recent book. He suggests that lithium isn't just a "treatment"—it's an essential trace element vital for over 265 biological processes. He argues that modern society is chronically deficient in it, which contributes to widespread anxiety, memory issues, and societal burnout. Lithium Orotate supports the body at a cellular level aligns with holistic wellness. Just like you wouldn't ignore a vitamin D deficiency, ignoring a trace mineral deficiency deprives the body of its natural ability to heal, reduce inflammation, and maintain  strong bones and brain function. If you have any questions Core Health Darien551 Post Road Darien CT 06820Dr.Brian McKay (Just a Chiropractor)203-656-3636Have a Question?
