Lithium Orotate & Midlife Focus: The Brain-Boosting Connection

In this episode of Menopause Rescue, Polly Watson and Kate Willis discuss the increasing rates of ADHD diagnoses among midlife women and the role of lithium as a potential treatment. They explore how hormonal changes can impact attention and behavior, the benefits of low-dose lithium compared to traditional ADHD medications, and the importance of lifestyle factors in managing attention issues. The conversation also touches on the potential of lithium in preventing dementia and practical tips for evaluating its effectiveness.

Quotes

  • “Lithium increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor, helping to protect and regenerate neurons.” - Kate Willis
  • “Losing your filter at midlife isn’t always about attitude—it’s a sign your nervous system is overwhelmed.” - Polly Watson
