Lithium Orotate and Brain Health: Micro-Dose Lithium as a Neuroprotective Trace Nutrient in Alzheimer’s and Cognitive Longevity

Abstract Recent research identifies a potential role for low-dose lithium orotate (LO) as a neuroprotective trace element in Alzheimer’s disease models. A 2025 Nature study demonstrated that brain lithium deficiency correlated with Alzheimer-like changes, while low-dose LO reversed pathology and improved memory in mice. Emerging human data support cognitive stabilizationRead

The Next Frontier in Nutrient Delivery: Hydrogels, Polyphenol NO Activators, and Neuro-Calming Botanicals

Introduction: Today’s Patients, Tomorrow’s Solutions In modern practice, single-issue patient visits are increasingly rare. Instead, many present with overlapping concerns such as subtle metabolic dysregulation, cognitive fatigue, and early signs of cardiovascular decline. These patterns, while often subclinical, create cumulative stress on the body’s regulatory systems. Addressing these interconnected challengesRead

Understanding Methylation for the Busy Practitioner: What is Methylation, How Do You Test, and Treat?

Chronic health consequences associated with hypomethylation include cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative disease, psychological disorders, and cancer.8,9 DNA methylation results in gene regulation by switching genes on and off and is the most well-studied epigenetic mechanism.10 Epigenetics relates to how environmental influences affect gene expression. This is exciting because we can optimize genetic expression and slow biological aging.

Collagen Supplements & Tendon Health

The results of a 12-week randomized and double-blind clinical trial, which reported on the effects of resistance exercise in combination with hydrolyzed collagen on tendon health, were recently published in the European Journal of Sport Science. All participants in this small study (only 24 middle-aged recreationally active men) had 2 sessions of high-intensityRead

Magnesium, Homocysteine & DNA

Results of a study recently published in the European Journal of Nutrition suggest that low levels of magnesium may increase the susceptibility of DNA to damage, and that elevated homocysteine levels specifically may cause more DNA damage among people with low levels. One hundred seventy-two healthy volunteers (aged 35-65) living in Australia had plasmaRead

Peptides Unpacked: Exploring the Future of Personalized Medicine

Peptides are redefining the future of personalized medicine. As potent cellular messengers, these short chains of amino acids are integral to processes like immune regulation, tissue repair, and metabolism. From naturally occurring peptides in the body to those derived from diet and supplements, peptide therapies offer promising, targeted solutions for muscle growth, brain health, skin rejuvenation, and more. Discover how peptides are unlocking new possibilities in health optimization and becoming a cornerstone of holistic, cellular-level care.

The Significance of Silicon

Naturally present in the human body, silicon is integral for optimal collagen production, supporting the health of our skin and other vital tissues: including bones, joints, hair and nails. The second most plentiful element on earth and the third most abundant trace element in the body, silicon has been referred toRead

Connective Tissue Wellness and Healthy Aging

Why connective tissue and collagen are essential for vital aging, and how evidence-based supplements can keep your patients healthy and strong throughout the years.   Connective tissue health is a critical but underestimated aspect of aging, often taking a back seat to factors like diet and exercise. But connective tissueRead
