Here are the links to the article Dr. Norwitz discusses in his video:
Nature’s Lithium deficiency and the onset of Alzheimer’s disease [PubMed Abstract] [Full-Text HTML] [Full-Text PDF]. Nature. 2025 Aug 6. doi: 10.1038/s41586-025-09335-x. Online ahead of print.
Today, I review, link to, and excerpt from Dr. Nick Norwitz‘ What I’m Doing to Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease After Seeing this New Harvard Study.
All that follows is from the above resource.
A major new paper published in Nature by Harvard researchers has sparked renewed scientific interest in lithium’s potential for Alzheimer’s disease prevention. In this video, we explore the groundbreaking data on lithium’s impact on brain health, specifically in Alzheimer’s and dementia prevention. We also dive into practical takeaways that could transform your daily routine to protect your brain.
Plus, I’ll share my personal protocol with lithium and what I’m recommending to protect my family’s cognitive health.
This isn’t medical advice, but it’s packed with evidence-based insights on how lithium could support cognitive function and protect your brain as you age.
