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. 

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. 

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

Choose one of these tests for depression analysis if desired or needed:

 

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.

  • Managing stress by knowing limitations and avoiding alcohol and caffeine
  • Physical impact exercising
  • Thinking exercises / challenges
  • Finding enjoyable activities
  • Increasing your intake of protein, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats
  • Toning the vagus nerve system
 

Brain fog can be frustrating, but relief is obtainable with persistence and dedication. If left untreated, brain fog can impact the quality of life. Once the underlying cause is addressed, mental clarity can improve.

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. 

The patient must be patient. Impact exercise is key.

Dengue fever is an illness you can get from the bite of a mosquito carrying one of four types of Dengue. Dengue isn’t contagious from person to person except when passed from a pregnant person to their child. Symptoms are usually mild with first infection, but repeated infections with a different version of dengue, the risk of severe complications increases. Dengue fever symptoms start to appear four to 10 days after a mosquito bite and can last three to seven days. About 1 in 20 people sick with dengue will develop severe dengue after their initial symptoms begin to fade. Do not take aspirin or ibuprofen. Some people remain asymptomatic but can still carry the parasite.

Chikungunya is a disease transmitted to humans by mosquitoes in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. You can’t get it from another person, but mosquitoes do get it from biting a person who is infected. Most people don’t die from it. Chikungunya fever typically lasts from five to seven days and frequently causes severe and often incapacitating joint pain which sometimes persists for much longer periods. There is no modern medicine treatment however traditional cures are abundant. Approximately 3%-28% of people infected with chikungunya virus will remain asymptomatic.

Avian influenza, also known as avian flu or bird flu, is a disease caused by the influenza A virus (IAV) which primarily affects birds but can sometimes affect mammals including humans. Rarely, humans can become infected by the avian flu if they are in close contact with infected birds. Influenza A virus, that has been modified with mRNA, can infect humans. Many people remain asymptomatic.

Naturally-occurring spike proteins are normally produced by the body. The artificial spike protein, as contained in CV-19 inoculations, is known to be highly toxic – generally affecting any weakened function in the body. Also consider combing with the D-Dimer blood clotting test.
