Brain fog - Vital Hormone Clinic

What is brain fog?

Many people experience brain fog, a sense of mental confusion, lack of mental clarity, or forgetfulness. While concerning, brain fog is often temporary and treatable.

Common causes of brain fog include:

• Stress or anxiety
• Lack of sleep
• Poor diet or nutritional deficiencies
• Hormonal changes or imbalances
• Medications
• Medical conditions like chronic inflammation, Lyme disease, or chronic fatigue syndrome

Symptoms of brain fog can include:

• Having trouble focusing, problem solving, or recalling basic facts or memories
• Worsening organizational skills or time management
• Strong mental fatigue
• Struggling with communication – trouble finding words or finishing sentences

If you're experiencing prolonged brain fog, seeing a doctor is wise to identify any underlying conditions. Blood tests can check for vitamin deficiencies, hormone imbalances, chronic illnesses, and more.

Natural remedies for brain fog include:

• Getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night
• Managing stress through yoga, meditation, exercise, or therapy
• Following an anti-inflammatory diet high in omega-3s from fish and plants
• Taking a high quality multivitamin to fill nutritional gaps
• Trying adaptogenic herbs like ginseng, rhodiola, or ashwagandha
• Optimizing hormone levels through diet, lifestyle changes, or bioidentical hormone therapy
