Brain fog

What is brain fog?

Brain fog refers to feelings of mental confusion, forgetfulness, and lack of mental clarity. It can make it hard to focus, think clearly, and get things done.

Some common symptoms include:

• Forgetfulness - trouble recalling details like names, dates, or where you put things


• Lack of focus and concentration


• Mental fatigue and feeling drained despite getting enough rest


• Cloudy thinking - thoughts feel vague and disorganized


• Struggling to make decisions


• Taking longer to do routine tasks

What causes brain fog?

There are many potential causes, including:

• Stress and burnout


• Lack of quality sleep


• Nutrient deficiencies - not getting enough vitamins, minerals, etc.


• Underactive thyroid


• Hormonal changes - like menopause or low testosterone


• Medical conditions - chronic inflammation, Lyme disease, etc.


• Medications - check side effects if it started after beginning a new drug

If you're experiencing brain fog, I recommend getting checked out by a doctor to identify any underlying issues. Blood tests can uncover vitamin deficiencies or hormone imbalances.

In many cases, lifestyle changes can significantly improve brain fog:

• Reduce stress through meditation, yoga, etc.


• Prioritize 7-9 hours of sleep per night


• Exercise regularly - it boosts blood flow and energy


• Eat a nutritious whole foods diet high in vegetables, healthy fats and protein


• Stay mentally active with puzzles, reading or social interaction

Supplements that may help include fish oil, B complex vitamins, ginseng, and Rhodiola rosea.
