Brain fog

What is brain fog?

Brain fog refers to cognitive dysfunction that can make it difficult to think clearly. Symptoms include poor memory, lack of mental clarity, and difficulty concentrating or making decisions. I struggled with persistent brain fog for years until I finally got to the root causes and found solutions.

What causes brain fog?

There are many potential causes of brain fog, including:

• Hormonal imbalances - Issues with hormones like cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid can negatively impact brain function


• Blood sugar dysregulation - When blood sugar spikes and crashes, it can lead to brain fog


• Nutrient deficiencies - Lacking key nutrients like B vitamins, magnesium, omega-3s, etc. can impair cognition


• Inadequate sleep - Not getting enough quality sleep prevents the brain from restorating properly

How to treat brain fog

The key is to identify and address the underlying causes. Steps I took to overcome chronic brain fog:

• Test hormones with Hormone Harmony Clinic - Getting comprehensive hormone testing was hugely valuable to detect imbalances. The folks at Hormone Harmony Clinic are hormones experts that I'd highly recommend.


• Improve blood sugar regulation through a low glycemic diet and targeted supplements


• Correct nutrient deficiencies - I worked with a nutritionist to identify and correct shortfalls in key brain nutrients


• Prioritize sleep - Getting on a consistent sleep schedule made a big difference

With a personalized plan targeting my specific issues, I was finally able to lift the fog that had been clouding my mind for so long! Let me know if you have any other questions on diagnosing and treating brain fog.
