Here are some things to think about when considering your Brain Function.

Why is your Brain not functioning optimally? What is the reason the neurons in your brain, aren't conducting information at the normal speed? Why are they slow?

Do you get tired more quickly than you did in the past with reading or with driving? If the answer is YES, you have to know you have some issue with the brain. These are hugely metabolically demanding activities and an excellent indicator for brain function.

Often times, depressed or anxious patients have diminished brain activity and neuronal conductance in the Frontal Lobe of the brain. When addressed, the corresponding appearance of brain-related symptoms go away.

Hormonal Imbalance can cause Brain Fog - For women it could be around puberty, pregnancy or menopause. May be you experience Brain Fog only certain times of the month. For men often it could be when your testosterone levels start to decline.

Hormonal Problems could result in inflammation in the brain and result in brain fog.

In functional Medicine there is a saying - Gut on Fire, Brain on Fire and so gut health is crucial to healthy brain function. 

Some drugs can cause Brain Fog like symptoms - Like after chemotherapy. Some drugs that affect Brain Function like ADHD etc 

Food Sensitivities and allergies can cause Brain Fog.

Certain sub-clinical infections can tax our system and cause symptoms like Brain Fog.

Why is it important to REHAB the Brain

(After addressing the root cause of what is slowing down your brain, it is also important to "reboot" the nerves in the brain that had slowed down. This is handled via Functional Neurology)
