EP6: Clearing the Brain Fog

Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why? Lost your words mid-sentence? Felt like your thoughts were moving through mud? In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common (and frustrating) symptoms I see in clinic - Brain fog. Brain fog is a signal that something in the body is out of balance. Whether it’s blood sugar crashes, chronic stress, hormonal shifts in perimenopause, nutrient deficiencies, gut issues, infections, poor sleep, or histamine overload… your brain is often the first place you feel it. In this episode, you’ll learn: • What brain fog is (and why it’s not “just in your head”) • The 8 most common root causes • How blood sugar, stress, hormones, and gut health impact mental clarity • The connection between sleep and cognitive performance • Practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies you can start immediately • Evidence-informed supplements that may support focus and clarity If you’ve been feeling forgetful, scattered, low in focus, or just “not yourself,” this episode will help you understand why, and more importantly, what you can do about it. You don’t have to accept brain fog as part of being busy, ageing, or overwhelmed. There are answers, and there are solutions.
