things surprising reasons your brain fog is stubborn and why it won’t shift number two why conventional medicine often misses those causes and leaves you frustrated and three most importantly six practical researchbacked fixes you can start today to clear that mental haze so by the end of this video you’ll have a clear road map to get you focus and your energy back so let’s dive into it picture this your immune system is like a toaster now bear with me have you ever been in this situation you’re in the other room and you’ve got some toast on the grill or in the toaster and suddenly you can smell the burning toast ah you run the smoke is filling the house well that smoke is the inflammation so it’s clouding your brain and it’s making it tough to think straight that systemic inflammation it’s a huge driver of the brain fog especially with autoimmunity so today we’re going to clear the air in your body and tackle that fog head on so you see inflammations driven by these inflammation things called cytoines particularly IL6 and TNF anyway they mess with how your brain cells talk to one another it’s like static on the phone call and it doesn’t work properly and it gets fuzzy so this happens a lot with autoimmune diseases like lupus or Hashimoto’s but even stress and a junky diet makes it worse and compounds it all right so where’s all this smoke coming from let’s check out a sneaky source your gut inflammation is caused as I said from those cytoines the interalucan 6 and TNF they’re like a little bit too eager security guards and they’re gumming up your brain’s wiring so that over zealousness they’re triggering the micro GA and that’s in your brain and it’s causing inflammation and that fog’s getting worse it’s super common in the autoimmune conditions and stress makes it worse as I said as well so what are some fixes start with an anti-inflammatory diet it sounds easy and you might say to yourself “I know that but I can’t stress how important this is inflammation comes from food but it can also be anti-inflammatory.” So you’ve got your omega-3s your colorful fruits and vegetables and also ditching that sugar and gluten it’s like really pouring gasoline on your fire and stress getting rid of that meditation walking in nature it’s like turning down the heat on the toaster and really important to remember it’s not going to be a quick overnight fix you might eat well for a week it’s not going to be a magic pill so back to the toaster smoke think about it you got to air out the house you got to turn on the fans there’s smoke in the curtains even once it’s gone you can kind of smell that smoky smell of burnt toast it’s there for a while but it with time it’s gone and that’s the inflammation now let’s talk about your gut the gut brain axis so your gut’s like a bustling party and there’s a lot of people there the bacteria there’s good ones and there’s bad ones and the bad ones crash it and they get messy and that’s gut dispiosis so have you heard of that thing called a leaky gut that’s it so when your gut gets holes in it and it slips through the junk gets through into your body so inflammatory foods like sugars or processed carbs they make that bad bacteria grow and it makes it worse so what are some fixes invite the good guys and get rid of the bad guys so things like kimchi kea veggies they’re going to help skip those inflammatory foods that I’ve mentioned before and try functional medicine gut testing as well to pinpoint those could it be parasites could it be sibbo could it even be candida overgrowth things like that will come up in the gut microbiome test so how does the gut connect to the foggess well let’s see how so next is leaky bloodb brain barrier it’s called your BBB and imagine there’s a bouncer at the door it’s letting people in through the gap in the bloodb brain barrier but it should be stopping them that’s what’s causing the inflammation the cytoines the toxins the auto antibodies sneak into the brain and this is like opening a door to a fog machine clouding your thinking and this is a really big deal for autoimmune brain fog what are some fixes cool down the inflammation with that anti-inflammatory diet it’s going to keep popping up stress management we talked about and supplements like glutathione omega-3 DHA and even vitamin C a leaky BBB can help those antibodies attack the brain especially in autoimmunity now let’s talk about that next autoimmunity in sephilitis sometimes your immune system gets confused and makes the auto antibodies that target your brain cells which is going to cause that reaction in your brain this happens in autoimmune and sephilitis and also can happen in Hashimoto’s too where the brain fog gets intense it’s like your brain’s under fire and the own team is attacking it so what are some fixes get medical check for auto antibodies and inflammation markers stick to that diet and make sure your vitamin D levels are good the vitamin D is like a shield for your immune system and it helps modulate it and calm it down autoimmunity can also mess with your brain’s chemistry let’s check that out so hormones and neurotransmitter imbalances they can cause havoc in your brain fog autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s can throw your thyroid hormones out of whack and that fogs up your brain plus inflammation messes with neurotransmitters like GABA and dopamine which keeps your mood and focus steady but unfortunately that gets out of balance so for women estrogen swings can make it even worse too what are some fixes work with a practitioner to optimize thyroid health keep stress low to balance neurotransmitters and try hormone balancing tricks like eating healthy fats and don’t skip meals and vitamin D like I mentioned before all of these help calm it down now the last thing is the cytoines they’re the sneaky causes of the inflammation now the problem with the cytoines is they’re the masterminds of it all they mess with the long-term potential that’s how your brain forms memories and slows down neurogenesis and they also slow down making new brain cells it’s why you feel sluggish forgetful and foggy so these guys are linked to all of the causes but conventional medicine often misses them what are some fixes i’m going to say diet and boost your lifestyle with some types of exercise too good sleep and hydration supplements like in acettocyine omega3 and vitamin C can help too functional medicine testing for cytoines can give you a clear picture too now that you know the causes but how do you figure out what’s driving your brain fog let’s talk next steps all right now you’ve heard the six hidden causes of brain fog from the inflammation to the cytoines you’re probably wondering “How do I figure out which specific one is driving my brain fog?” The good news is there’s a powerful tool to get the answers functional medicine testing it dives deep into your inflammation markers gut health hormone levels and even auto antibbody activity giving you a personalized road map to clear that brain fog but testing can feel overwhelming and you might not know where to start that’s why you’re covered in
