Mental fogginess - Revive Hormone Institute

Mental fogginess refers to feelings of forgetfulness, confusion, or a lack of mental clarity that can affect one's ability to think, focus, and recall information. Some common symptoms include:

• Difficulty concentrating or paying attention
• Forgetfulness and struggling to recall details
• Cloudy thinking and feelings of confusion
• Impaired thinking and judgement
• Slowed processing speed

There are various potential causes of mental fogginess:

• Stress - High stress depletes key neurotransmitters and hormones
• Poor diet - Nutrient deficiencies disrupt brain function
• Lack of sleep - Fatigue impairs cognition
• Hormonal changes - Thyroid disorders or menopause affect cognition
• Medications - Some prescription drugs cause brain fog

Treatment options depend on the underlying cause but may include:

• Stress management techniques like meditation or yoga
• Improving sleep quantity and quality
• Ensuring adequate intake of key nutrients
• Hormone testing and possible hormone replacement
• Adjusting or changing medications

Lifestyle changes like getting enough sleep, staying active, eating a nutrient-rich diet and keeping stress levels in check can all support cognitive function. For some, hormonal factors may play a key role, so testing key hormones like thyroid, cortisol, estrogen and testosterone can be insightful.
