EP22: Brain Fog: Causes and Prevention

Watch Dr. Theoharides' exclusive talk on "Mast Cell Over-Activation And How It Affects Our Mind And Body Well-Being" https://youtu.be/xEX9PhdFh1g   Is "brain fog" real? Dr. Theoharides Theoharides explains the truth. Joined by Haylie Pomroy. Dr. Theoharides discusses the link between brain fog and various medical conditions, such as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), traumatic brain injury, and viral infections, including COVID-19. Brain fog manifests as cognitive decline, including forgetfulness, difficulty finding words, and difficulty processing information. While it's a common issue among people dealing with chronic illness, health practitioners are concerned how this symptom manifests in so many people, regardless of age, fitness, and health level. Dr. Theoharis C. Theoharides is a prominent professor at Nova Southeastern University (NSU) and previously at Tufts School of Medicine. His research focuses on neuroinflammation, particularly the role of mast cells in conditions like autism spectrum disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, and Long-COVID syndrome. With numerous awards, over 486 publications, and 37 patents, Dr. Theoharides is a leading expert in his field. Additionally, he has developed unique supplements containing flavonoids aimed at promoting health and wellness.   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theoharis-theoharides-ms-phd-md-faaaai-67123735   Thank you for tuning in to the Hope and Help For Fatigue and Chronic Illness Podcast.
