Hydration isn’t just water!

Most people think they need to drink more water to fix dehydration.
Here’s the truth: you might actually need more electrolytes.

When you sweat, exercise, take certain medications, or follow a low-carb diet, your body loses sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Replacing those minerals keeps your muscles, energy, and focus steady.

LMNT gives you all the electrolytes you need — without the sugar, dyes, or fillers that most sports drinks sneak in.

👉 If I were your pharmacist, I’d tell you: hydration is chemistry, not marketing.

🌱 Leucovorin & Autism: What Parents Should Know

If I’m being really honest, most parents I meet who are caring for a child with autism have been left to figure things out on their own. You’re told to “do therapy,” maybe you’re handed a stack of referrals, but rarely does anyone sit down and explain the biochemistry of what might actually be happening in your child’s brain.

One of the most fascinating areas of research in autism right now is something called Cerebral Folate Deficiency. Simply put, some children have trouble getting folate (an essential B-vitamin) into the brain. Sometimes this is because of something called folate receptor autoantibodies — the body blocks folate from crossing into the central nervous system.

And here’s where Leucovorin (also called folinic acid) comes in.

Leucovorin is an active form of folate. Unlike regular folic acid, it bypasses some of the blocks in the folate pathway and can cross into the brain more efficiently. In clinical studies, children with autism who were given Leucovorin showed meaningful improvements — especially in language, social interaction, and communication. Parents often report that their child starts to use more words, make better eye contact, or engage in ways they hadn’t before.

Now, let’s be clear: Leucovorin is not a cure. It’s also not something to try casually without medical guidance. It’s a prescription therapy that should be supervised by a knowledgeable provider, ideally with testing to see if your child has folate receptor autoantibodies.

But here’s the part that matters:
This is real science, and it gives parents hope that we’re finally looking beyond “behavior management” and into the root causes of why the brain might be struggling.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, or told that “nothing else can be done,” I want you to know there are more tools in the toolbox.

👉 If I were your pharmacist, I’d tell you this: Supporting the biochemistry of the brain can be just as important as therapies and school supports. And for some kids, Leucovorin makes a real difference.

If this resonates with you and you’d like more resources, drop me a message. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
