Brain fog

What is brain fog?

Brain fog refers to cognitive dysfunction characterized by mental confusion, impaired memory, poor concentration and reduced work performance. It makes it hard to think clearly or focus on tasks.

What causes brain fog?

There are many potential causes of brain fog including:

• Stress - High cortisol levels interfere with memory and concentration


• Poor diet - Deficiencies in nutrients like B vitamins can impair brain function


• Lack of sleep - Fatigue and sleep deprivation hamper cognitive abilities


• Hormonal changes - Fluctuations in hormones can affect clarity and focus


• Medical conditions - Issues like thyroid disorders, depression, Lyme disease, etc.

How can brain fog be treated?

• Reduce stress through yoga, meditation, getting organized


• Eat a nutrient-rich diet with lean proteins, fruits, vegetables


• Get 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night


• Optimize hormones through lifestyle changes, supplements, bioidentical hormones

How long does brain fog last?

The duration depends on the underlying cause. For temporary issues like poor diet or stress, symptoms may resolve within days or weeks with proper treatment. However, brain fog linked to medical conditions like autoimmune disease can last for years if not managed effectively.

Can brain fog be permanent?
