Drawing on historical context and his personal experience at age 70, Dr. Rogers explains why he takes lithium orotate, how it differs from pharmaceutical lithium, and why low, over-the-counter doses may offer mood-stabilizing and anti-aging effects with minimal risk. He shares insights from longevity voices like Bryan Johnson and Peter Attia, and offers his practical approach to supplement regimens for a healthier, longer life.Tune in to learn more about this misunderstood mineral, tips on navigating the supplement world as you age, and why common sense should guide your health decisions. As always, Dr. Rogers reminds listeners to do their own research and consult a healthcare provider before starting new supplements.Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and not intended as medical advice.
