    Brain Fog

    Brain fog is a term used to describe a feeling of confusion, forgetfulness, and difficulty concentrating or focusing. Just like our bodies, our brains need the right nutrients, rest and exercise to perform our very best. As we age, our brains change - but we have the ability to impact how it changes.

    What can cause Brain Fog, Memory, Concentration & Focus Issues?

    Stressors of everyday life, trauma, injuries, among others can alter our brain wave patterns. Hormonal imbalances, such as those related to menstruation or menopause, are also contributing factors.

    NEUROFEEDBACK THERAPY

    Get Help At Home with Your Memory

    As we get older our experiences and daily stress can alter our brain wave patterns and cause us to function well below our mental peak. a growing body of research demonstrates that an excess of a brainwave called theta and a deficiency of a brainwave called low beta is associated with diminished ability to focus, perform and make effective decisions. Neurofeedback therapy directly addresses these brainwave patterns to help improve memory and brain fog.

    Questions about Brain Fog

    How is brain fog different from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease?
    Brain fog is a general term used to describe the feeling that you can’t think as clearly as you used to. People experiencing brain fog might have trouble recalling words or names, making decisions and processing information quickly, or concentrating.  Unlike cognitive impairments associated with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, brain fog doesn't stop you from being able to  function on a daily basis.
    How often do I need vitamin injections to help with brain fog?
    This depends on the underlying cause of your brain fog. For example, if the underlying cause of your brain fog is a Vitamin deficiency (like Vitamin D or B12),you may notice improvements from once-monthly Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3 injections. However, more frequent treatments may be necessary to reach optimal levels. At Modern Age, you can complete a comprehensive Aging Wellness Assessment to test your vitamin levels, along with dozens of other biomarkers, and work with one of our board-certified clinicians to develop a personalized plan.
    What is NAD+ and how does it relate to brain fog?
    NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an essential molecule your body uses to repair your DNA, regulate your cells’ metabolism, and control aging. Because it’s critical for the survival of your cells, NAD+ can have profound effects on your health and lifespan. Some of the important functions of NAD+ have only recently been discovered. Because of this, it has become the subject of many research studies, and supplements that claim to boost NAD+ levels are gaining popularity.
    Is Neurofeedback therapy safe?
    Neurofeedback is completely safe and there are no documented adverse effects. However it is important that you work with an experienced clinician (like ours at Modern Age) to improve your chances of success.

    More about brain fog

    Brain fog is a general term used to describe the feeling that you can’t think as clearly as you used to. People experiencing brain fog might have trouble recalling words or names, making decisions and processing information quickly, or concentrating.  Unlike cognitive impairments associated with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, brain fog doesn't stop you from being able to  function on a daily basis. However, it is unsettling and may leave you wondering what’s wrong. 

    Brain fog can be a symptom of various illnesses or injuries and is also commonly associated with natural aging.  Hormonal changes such as those that occur during pregnancy and menopause, vitamin D or B12 deficiencies, stress, and inadequate sleep can contribute to brain fog.  Additionally, as we go through the normal stresses of life our brain wave patterns shift, resulting in more of some types of brain waves and less of others. Research demonstrates that an excess of a brainwave called theta and a deficiency of a brainwave called low beta is associated with diminished ability to focus, perform and make effective decisions. 

    Fortunately, there are steps you can take to prevent and treat the onset of brain fog.  Extensive evidence supports the use of Neurofeedback therapy (or brain training) to address disruptions to brainwave patterns.  Endurance and strength training can positively impact memory and recollection by boosting levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF; a naturally occurring protein) in the brain. Finally, infusions of  Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and NAD+ are shown to be effective at boosting mental clarity.
