Brain fog - Second Spring Hormone Clinic

What is brain fog?

Brain fog refers to cognitive dysfunction characterized by mental confusion, impaired memory, poor concentration, and more. It can seriously impact your productivity, focus, and mental clarity.

Some common symptoms include:

• Forgetfulness - trouble recalling recent events or information
• Lack of focus - inability to stay focused on tasks
• Mental fatigue - feelings of fuzzy thinking or mental exhaustion
• Slow thinking - taking longer to process information

Causes of Brain Fog

There are many potential causes of brain fog, including:

• Sleep deprivation - not getting enough quality sleep
• Stress - high stress levels over a prolonged period
• Poor diet - nutritional deficiencies or blood sugar dysregulation
• Hormonal changes - such as menopause or thyroid issues
• Medications - side effects from certain prescription drugs
