Many caregivers are asking about the surprising connection between lithium and dementia after a recent Harvard study sparked headlines. In this video, I break down what researchers actually found, what it could mean for Alzheimer's disease, and what caregivers should not do without medical guidance.

You'll learn how lithium affects brain cells, why scientists are hopeful, and the important safety reminders every caregiver should know. Read the study here: https://hms.harvard.edu/news/could-lithium-explain-treat-alzheimers-disease

What if a simple ingredient sitting in your kitchen could help protect your brain? A groundbreaking study from Harvard tracked over 92,000 people for nearly 30 years… and the results were eye-opening.

In this episode, I'm sharing what researchers found and how it could impact your risk of dementia — including how it might help people already experiencing memory problems.

You'll learn:

• The exact daily amount researchers studied
• A surprising brain benefit you probably haven't heard about 
• Easy, delicious ways to use this kitchen staple every day 

If you've been looking for simple steps to support your brain health — or your loved one's — this is one you don't want to miss.

Careblazer, have you ever looked into your loved one's eyes and heard something like, "You're not my wife" or "Someone's stealing from me"? It is confusing, scary, and can break your heart.

What if your brain was unintentionally making dementia caregiving even harder… without you realizing it?

I'm walking you through a brain system that plays a big role in your daily stress, reactions, and what you tend to notice as a caregiver.

It's called the Reticular Activating System (RAS), and it plays a huge role in what you notice, how you feel, and the results you experience in your caregiving journey.

This isn't about pretending things are fine. It's about understanding how your brain works, so you can finally start using it to help you, instead of working against you.

💌 I first shared this idea in a personal email to my Dementia Dose newsletter, and thousands of caregivers replied asking for more. Want to join the newsletter? It's totally free: https://tinyurl.com/dementiadose-yt
