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.

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.

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.
