✨ Lithium, Kale, and Memory on a Plate ✨

Everyone’s buzzing about lithium right now — not the EV battery kind, the brain-health kind. But before we all run to the supplement aisle, the smarter move might just be to run to the kitchen.

Dr. Ellen Kornmehl, MD (with a name like Kornmehl she could’ve opened a bakery!) ties science straight back to food in her latest Substack:
👉 Does Your Zip Code Determine Your Dementia Risk?

And she doesn’t just end with lab notes — she ends with recipes:
🥘 Portuguese Garlic Shrimp with Kale
🍅 Greek Bruschetta
🍊 Fennel, Orange, Onion, Cucumber + Olive Salad
🥦 Melty, Creamy Tahini + Garlic Cauliflower

Here’s the kicker: food is a large part of the MiM app we’re building. Because memory support isn’t just pills and protocols — it’s structure, dignity, and yes, a plate of shrimp with kale.

Part of the MiM App's weekly menu plan
