Summary

In this episode of Coffee with Dr. Stewart, Dr. Kendal Stewart takes on the confusing and frustrating issue of brain fog. He explains what brain fog really is, why it shows up in both healthy and chronically ill people, and the five major causes that most doctors overlook: inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, hormonal shifts, gut health, and methylation problems. From long COVID to postpartum changes to concussion recovery, Dr. Stewart shows why brain fog is a red flag that something deeper is wrong. Instead of quick fixes like stimulants, he shares how genetics, nutrition, targeted supplements, and even advanced therapies can restore clarity and energy.

Episode Description

<p>Do you ever feel like your brain just will not turn on? Brain fog is one of the most common complaints people bring to the doctor, but most are told it’s just stress, poor sleep, or diet. In this episode, Dr. Kendal Stewart explains why that answer falls short and what is really happening when your brain loses clarity. You’ll learn about the role of inflammation, mitochondria, hormones, genetics, and gut health in brain fog, as well as why some people recover quickly while others stay stuck for years. Dr. Stewart also covers brain fog in long COVID, postpartum changes, and concussions, and why stimulants and symptom-based treatments often make things worse over time.</p> <p> </p> <p>Learn more at <a href='https://www.drkendalstewart.com/'>DrKendalStewart.com</a></p>
