What is Brain Fog ?
Brain fog, or mental fatigue, is not a medical condition but is instead a symptom of other medical conditions. Depending on severity, brain fog can interfere with daily tasks, but is rarely permanent. With proper understanding and avoidance of causes, healing can begin. It’s a type of cognitive dysfunction involving:
- Memory ability
- A lack of mental clarity
- Poor concentration
- An inability to focus
- Physical coordination
- Sleep inconsistencies
- Irritability
Possible causes
Stress
Chronic stress can increase blood pressure, weaken the immune system, and trigger depression, resulting in mental fatigue. An exhausted brain finds it harder to think, reason, and focus. Key to healing is negating all sources of stress- physical, mental, spiritual, nutritional, etc.
Poor sleep quality
Greatly interferes with brain functions. At least during therapy, aim for 8 to 9 hours per each 24 hours. Or sleep 2 or 3 times per day with naps and a full night’s deep sleep, equaling 9 hours or more. The body and brain only heal during deep sleep. Time is needed for full recovery.Â
Hormonal imbalance
Can also trigger brain fog. High levels of the hormones progesterone and estrogen can affect memory and cause short-term cognitive impairment – typical of obesity and metabolic syndrom, among other causes. Too low hormones can also cause brain and nerve malfunction.Â
Diet
Diet can also play a role in brain fog. Vitamin B12 supports healthy brain function, its deficiency also a cause. Removing trigger foods, such as sugar, caffeine, junk foods, etc. from the diet most of the time improves symptoms.
Medications
Brain fog is a known side effect of a large percentage of mainstream medications. Lowering dosage or switching to natural alternatives may help. Cancer treatments often result in brain fog too, known as chemo brain.
Medical conditions
Associated with inflammation, fatigue, or changes in blood glucose level can also cause mental fatigue. For example, brain fog is a symptom of chronic fatigue syndrome, which involves persistent fatigue for a prolonged period of time. This may be indicated by high DHEA hormone levels, which are related to chronic fatigue. Fibromyalgia may also induce fogginess on a daily basis. The list is long. Literally hundreds of combinations of conditions can result in nervous system difficulties.
Other conditions include:
• Anemia
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Diabetes
• Sjo¨gren syndrome
• Migraine
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Hypothyroidism
• Autoimmune diseases, like lupus, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis
• Dehydration
• Effects from COVID-19
• Stroke
Diagnosis
Extensive interview and multiple lab tests are often needed to diagnose causes and solutions for brain fog. Brain fog may signal an underlying issue, so deeper research is advised:
- Mental health – depression survey available.
- Physical exam
- Diet and environment
- Level of physical activity
- Past and current medications or supplements
- Blood and urine testing (the BSI Signature Detox and Health Rest) with full analysis:
- A food journal is also advised (provided by BSI at time of interview)
- Parasites
Take this self test for more information regarding brain function:
Choose one of these tests for depression analysis if desired or needed:
- Adult Patient Mental Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)
- Adolescent Patient Mental Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)
- Beck Depression Inventory
May we suggest you take one or two of these tests, and print and bring along the results to your first appointment, if you want.

Words of Encouragement
Modern drugs suppress symptoms but do not usually cure. Natural remedies take time and require diligent participation by the patient. Constant monitoring of causes is required, as is full commitment to diet and medicines. Several days are needed for the program to work. Gradual but positive changes are generally observed daily. Once normal function is observed, continued therapy is required. Perhaps for one or two months, with long-term dietary and lifestyle changes required.Â
The patient must be patient. Impact exercise is key.
