I noted a few interesting pearls in Georgi's latest interview "Maintain your Brain" with Kitty Martone.
One of them was the narrow therapeutic range of lithium,
Low dose, according to Georgi, supercharges mitochondrial functions in dysfunctional mitochondria, hence the positive effect on Dementia, while high dose acts like SSRI and is suppressive.
If dementia is "diabetes of the brain", could low dose help with diabetes?
If anyone on the forum (especially diabetics) have experimented with this, I'd love to hear from you.
Regardless, looking further into low dose lithium, this is what I found out so far.
Abstracts only.
one is a summary of case reports that stated: "high serum lithium levels were correlated with high fasting blood sugar, while lowering of the lithium level led to a lowering the fasting blood sugar". https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35236261/
The other is a review Beyond its psychiatric use: the benefits of low dose lithium supplementation - PubMed
