Can't Find Your Keys? Again? Feel Like You Have the Focus of a Goldfish?
We have answers!
This month we will be focusing on brain fog, memory loss, moods, mental clarity, and being able to remember where your keys are! Nutrition can be a big factor and a promising solution to these issues.
I am going to share 5 causes of brain fog, memory loss, and moods as well as a recent case where a patient diagnoses with both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's regained cognitive function.
5 Causes of Brain Fog and How to Correct Them.
1. A Poor Diet: a diet high in processed foods, refined carbs, and added sugars, can contribute to brain fog and lack of focus by causing inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and blood sugar fluctuations, impacting cognitive function.
A simple fix: Add more fresh uncooked fruit and vegetables to your diet. Starting with a simple commitment of 1 fruit and 1 veggie a day can be a great way to begin to correct this. These are great brain foods!
2. Nutritional Deficiencies: There are many nutrients that affect the brain and if you are lacking in any of them you could be experience memory loss, brain fog, depression or melancholy moods. Omega 3, B vitamins, and many of the minerals when deficient can lead to sluggish mental function and brain fog.
A simple fix: Since causes can vary so much from person to person, get tested to find out what deficiencies you might have! Why guess when you can know. Call us for more information or to schedule a thorough nutritional consult.
3. Gut Health: There is a strong correlation between gut health and brain function. Poor diet, not eating regularly, and stress, can disrupt gut bacteria potentially impacting brain function and contribute to memory loss, forgetfulness, brain fog, and a lack of focus. If you have a history of ulcers, gastritis, reflux, or irritable bowel, your cognitive function could be affected.
What to do? Cases like these tend to be very different patient to patient. Many cases we begin with specific herbs or supplements that can soothe, take away the inflammation in the GI lining, and support the healing of the lining. In every case we look at dietary factors and recommend foods that will help return a balance to the GI system. A balanced GI system is the basis of a balanced brain. A professional nutritional consult can identify your specific issues and lay the ground work for a personalized program that will support the healing of the GI tract and the brain function.
4. Blood Sugar Fluctuations: Eating refined carbohydrates and sugary foods can cause rapid spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels, leading to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, poor memory and focus, and brain fog.
What can help? You have choices! We have a 10 day program designed for lowering blood sugar levels which we can easily sign you up for over the phone. Another option is a private nutritional consult where we look at your diet and lifestyle to find out what the causes are in YOUR life and create a targeted program for you. A general herbal recommendation is using a quality gymnema to help curb the sugar cravings.
5. Inflammation: Diets high in processed foods, unhealthy fats, and added sugars can trigger inflammation in the brain, which can impair cognitive function and contribute to brain fog, memory issues, poor moods, and lack of focus.
All of the above can be a part of your picture but to sort it all out and be able to figure out which of the hundreds of brain products online are right for you can be overwhelming. Treat yourself to a private nutritional consult and receive a solid program developed specifically for you with quality products that work.

More and more people are looking for vitamins for brain function and memory. There has been a lot of study around this hot topic. I recently had a patient suffering with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's receive great benefits from using vitamins to help improve his brain function. Here is Tom's story.
Tom is 82 years old and was diagnosed with both Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. When his wife passed his brother, David, helped him move into assisted living. During conversation Tom would keep putting his head in his hands and stop talking. His speech was hesitant and he would say things that didn’t make sense and sometimes things that were inappropriate. He could not handle his own finances or other personal matters. At night he was found wandering the halls and walking into the wrong room.
It was around this time that his brother, David, came to me asking if there were vitamins for brain health that could help his brother. After reviewing his records, I put together a personalized program using specific brain vitamins that would help support the health of his nervous system.
After about 5 weeks David sent me a video that he had received from an aide of his brother dancing at an event at the assisted living facility. What was remarkable was to see this man get up out of his wheel chair so quickly and easily. His dancing was well coordinated, flexible and you could see he was enjoying himself. His face looked alert and present. That far off look was gone.
After three months of being on the program David came for a follow up visit to discuss his brother’s case. The first words David said were “WOW!”. He went on to explain he had just seen his brother before coming to our meeting and was amazed at his transformation. David had gone to pick up Tom’s tax papers to bring to his accountant for him. Tom had a notebook ready where he kept all his papers and notes organized. Everything was in there and Tom explained it all to David in a completely coherent manner. Tom even noted that they were doing this a little late demonstrating he was clearly aware of time and dates.
Their sister joined them and together they reminisced about their youth. David said Tom was coherent and clearly spoke about his memories as a child. David was amazed that the hesitancy in his speech was gone and he didn’t once put his head in his hands. David shared that periodically he would still search for words but the improvement was startling.
Even Tom's aide was amazed. She had told David that "something was working" because she saw a big difference in Tom since he started the vitamins. She said he was more coherent, spoke more clearly, was more present, better recall and memory, and hadn’t been getting up to wander the halls at night.
A few days after this meeting I was sent a picture of Tom (see on side) sitting at his old drafting table he worked at as an architect, working on a new drawing. When Tom had retired he had taken up painting and drawing as an art form. When the symptoms of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's began to set in he no longer had the mind, dexterity, or desire to create and paint. David was thrilled to see Tom's creativity coming through again and see him mentally able to create an image and have the dexterity and ambition to execute it into a drawing and painting.
Periodically Tom still searches for a word but his symptoms are much improved. The supplements have significantly improved his life. It is the difference between being able to live in Assisted Living versus being moved into a memory care unit. It is the difference between being able to have a conversation with your family and holding your head in your hands. It's the difference between getting up to dance and sitting aside not talking to anyone. It's the difference between being able to create, draw, and paint versus sitting and staring blankly at a TV. It's the difference between being "here" versus in a state of confusion. That is worth the cost of vitamins!
Before taking the supplement program the Assisted Living administrators were pressuring the family to have Tom moved to a memory unit due to his wandering the halls and into others rooms at night. Now they are fine keeping him at the Assisted Living place.
