Lithium

What is Lithium?

Lithium is a naturally occurring mineral found in trace amounts in the environment, including soil, water, and certain foods like grains and vegetables. It plays a role in regulating mood and has been historically used to support emotional stability and cognitive function.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Lithium intolerance may occur when the body struggles to metabolize or excrete this mineral, leading to an accumulation that can cause symptoms like fatigue, digestive issues, or cognitive changes. Variations in individual kidney function or sensitivity to lithium's effects could be contributing factors.

What can I do about it?

Managing lithium intolerance involves reducing exposure to high-lithium foods and ensuring adequate hydration to support kidney function. Focus on a balanced diet with plenty of water and consider natural stress-relief methods to maintain emotional balance without relying on lithium.
