Woman confused with brain fog

Brain fog is characterized by confusion, forgetfulness, a lack of focus, and mental clarity.

Other symptoms associated with brain fog include irritable behavior and mood swings, sleeping disorders, impaired cognitive function, low motivation & lack of new ideas. Can you relate?

There are 2 major causes of brain fog, not including pain medication in people suffering from fibromyalgia, side effects of chemotherapy, and even a residual long-term effect of Covid-19.  Chronic inflammation & Hormonal Changes & imbalance.

What causes inflammation?

  • Obesity & excessive calorie consumption
  • Saturated fat & sugar including sugar substitutes
  • Oxidative stress by free radicals
  • Chronic Stress & lack of restorative sleep
  • Increasing age

What causes the hormonal imbalance?

  • Exposure to Electromagnetic radiation (mobile phones, tablets, computers, tv)
  • Lack of exercise
  • Diet based on process foods
  • Toxins, pollution, chemicals
  • Chronic Stress & lack of restorative sleep

So, how do we get better?... well minimize the causes and we are on our way.
