Lithium appears to contribute to cognitive preservation during aging and a new study looks at what happens to the brain when lithium is deficient, possibly leading to Alzheimer's disease. Better still, it looks like increasing the brain's lithium levels may actually reverse the effects. Lithium orotate is getting a glow-up and we're excited for it!

Also, the "magic pill" may finally be real. Wegovy, one of the popular new GLP-1 weight-loss medications is now available as a daily oral prescription! How does it differ from injections and how is dosing affected? Is it cheaper than the shots?
