As an RD, I need to clarify: 'detox' is a marketing term. Your lemon water doesn't detox you. Your liver, kidneys, and colon are your high-tech, 24/7 detox systems, working for free.

We don’t talk about this nutrient enough… and it matters more than you think 🧠

It’s called choline — and it plays a key role in brain health, memory, and how our brains age over time.

Most people aren’t getting enough, and research suggests nutrition in your 20s and 30s may impact brain health decades later — including risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
