look we have all had brain fog it's frustrating it's debilitating it's a condition characterized by confusion forgetfulness lack of focus and it can significantly impact your daily life making even simple tasks seem more challenging than they should be understanding the root causes of brain fog and implementing holistic techniques and remedies can help alleviate brain fog and restore mental Clarity here are five things you can do to combat brain fog and enhance cognitive function first let's talk about the root causes autoimmune issues autoimmune diseases where the immune system mistakenly attacks itself or its own tissues often present symptoms of brain fog conditions such as Hashimoto thyroiditis lupus mold exposure I've had it in three houses my friend it's often overlooked but it significantly can impact your life as it has mine and your cognitive health things that you may not see today may show up months down the road because of mold and all of the mitochondrial dis function that could come from it you've heard me talk about mitochondria before this is the PowerHouse of your cells they are responsible for energy production and the dysfunction of these literal cellular power plants your ATP can actually lead to fatigue cognitive impairments which contribute to brain fog a poor diet right nutritional deficiencies also can play a role people eat a lot of processed foods which lacks a lot of essential nutrients impacts their guts so they're not absorbing as many vitamins and minerals which causes all types of mineral and vitamin deficiencies and these are some common contributors lastly and one of my favorite things to talk about is just the chronic stress level that our babies our babies I got a dad brain I'm thinking about my baby girl she's like 10 months old it was her first acupuncture appointment today so she went and got acupuncture as a baby these kids that are coming to the planet are insane right now aren't they I'm going off on a tangent let's pull the focus back brain fog it can also lead to mitochondrial issue disrupt natural rhythms change cognitive functions leading to hormonal imbalances more inflammation which exacerbates absolutely everything my friend I wouldn't be the health guy if I wouldn't give you some nutritional strategies that we can actually use to combat brain fog number one adopting a Mediterranean type of diet can help reduce inflammation and support brain health I think Leafy grains superfoods powerful micronutrients antioxidants rich in folate right can support brain function I like fatty fish that doesn't have heavy metals or microplastics which is hard to come by nowadays right essential for cognitive health I take an omega-3 and an Omega 7 supplement which helps I also eat a lot of wild berries at least one cup of blueberries a day raspberries strawberries I make sure they're organic glyphosate residue free if you can get them make sure the farm isn't spraying it with pesticides make sure the farm is using neem oil or something like that instead then this glyphosate which is absolutely everywhere also nuts and seeds that your body agrees with cuz every body's different some people don't do well with cashews peanuts that kind of stuff so do what's right for your body to support your own brain health one of my favorite brain superfoods is also turmeric which contains curcumin and that's a powerful anti-inflammatory compound you also want to stay hydrated hydration is absolutely crucial for brain function when you're dehydrated it can impair memory so I aim for at least 1 oce of water for every 2 lbs that I weigh I don't like the 8 to 10 glasses of water I day make sure you're hydrated if you've been watching me for any amount of time you know just check your pee if it is a light yellow color you're probably hydrated white if it's clear you're probably a little overhydrated maybe not enough minerals anything that's darker than that you want to add more water in and you'll notice when you're dehydrated because you're hungry sometimes I think 70% of the time we're hungry we're just dehydrated the body is a juicer so just drink more nourishing structured Living Water like that's going to change the game fasting has also been shown to reduce inflammation in the brain and the body so fasting for me at night is better than fasting in the morning I shoot for 12 to 16 hours without any food at all I usually stop eating around 2 or 3 so that I get more REM and deep sleep super powerful for brain fog when we reduce inflammation by fasting we're also increasing autophagy which is the body's natural process of clearing out damaged cells 16 some people do 20 hour fast they only have a 4-Hour feeding window which is crazy test it for you figure out what works better for you as a man the older I get the longer I like to fast but in my 20s and 30s when my metabolism may have been a little bit higher I have shorter Windows as a woman I don't really recommend fasting that much unless it's 12 to 14 hours shorter fast making sure you're getting enough calories a woman's hormones are completely different than a man's there's a lot more to take account for so make sure that if you are going to fast that you have somebody that's supervising you that's done it before that's helped other clients fasting doing it the wrong way can lead to a whole host of issues thyroid issues mitochondrial issues fatigue issues so you just want to be careful but I'm a big fan of fasting with all that being said another point of fasting is it actually increases bdnf which is brain derived neutop Factor these are new brain cells for the longest time they said you couldn't grow new brain cells but fasting does it so does sitting in a sauna so do socializing with somebody new and having deep compelling conversations imagine that being human also something I do for brain fog is I'll take neutr every once in a while now these are known as cognitive enhancers that can improve brain function some of the ones I like to use would be Rola Rosa and this is an adaptogens that Vikings would take way back in the day to reduce fatigue improve mental performance and literally go to war as Vikings they would drink riola Lion's main mushroom is another one which increases ngf nerve growth factor which is the synapsis in the brain that healthy brain needs right so Lion's man is one of my favorite things and then also bopa Monera and this is an herb that helps with memory increases serotonin increases be andf in the brain there's also adaptogens like ashwagandha ginsing holy basil that help us adapt to stress and maintain balance improving cognitive function and reducing anxiety one of the things I love too is photobiomodulation sitting in front of different light colors and the sauna the infrared sauna even the hot sauna with the red light can really help improve your brain fog detox I love coffee enas I've been doing coffee enemas for the past 15 years increasing glutathione production which is Mother Nature's greatest antioxidants naturally your liver can help you create more glutathione when you do a coffee enema that's another thing you might want to try too so another supplement I like to use is organifi pure it's got the bobab it's got Lion's man it's got neurofactor in it which has been shown in clinicals to improve bdnf by 209% it is the most underrated organifi product you can get that by clicking the link below I'll put it below this video organifi pure is what it's called long story short consistency and knowing what works for you with this having a a certain level of mindfulness around it is going to be impactful to get rid of your brain fog ultimately I just wanted to open up the
