On this week’s episode of The Common Sense MD, Dr. Tom Rogers dives into the fascinating world of lithium as an anti-aging supplement. Many know lithium as a treatment for bipolar disorder, but Dr. Rogers explores a different form—lithium orotate—and its potential benefits for neuroprotection, mitochondrial function, and longevity.
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.
