Brain fog - Renew Medical Clinic

What is brain fog?

Brain fog is a term used to describe feelings of mental confusion, forgetfulness, and lack of focus and clarity. It can make even simple tasks like reading an article or having a conversation feel difficult. While anyone can occasionally experience brain fog when tired or stressed, some people deal with it on a chronic basis.

There are a few key things to understand about brain fog:

• Causes - There are many potential causes of chronic brain fog including sleep deprivation, depression, anxiety, poor diet, food sensitivities, gut health issues, hormonal imbalances, and thyroid disorders. Things like heavy metal toxicity and mold exposure can also contribute.
• Symptoms - In addition to mental fuzziness, symptoms of brain fog often include poor memory, difficulty concentrating and multitasking, slow thinking and processing, and problems with word recall and language skills. Physical symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and low motivation may occur too.
• Diagnosis - Since there are many possible reasons for brain fog, getting an accurate diagnosis is important. Seeing both a medical doctor and a functional/integrative medicine practitioner can help identify root causes through lab tests for things like food reactions, nutrient status, hormone levels, and inflammation.
• Treatment - The right treatment depends on what's causing the brain fog for that individual. For example, optimizing sleep, reducing stress, fixing gut issues, balancing hormones, removing inflammatory foods, taking key supplements etc. Most people need to address multiple areas to resolve chronic brain fog.
