Clearing the Confusion on Brain Fog

Brain fog is one of those symptoms that’s hard to explain but impossible to ignore. In this episode, Dr. E dives into what brain fog really is—beyond the vague feeling of mental haze—and explains why it's a sign of neuroinflammation. Though not recognized by conventional medicine, millions of people experience it daily, often without answers. Dr. E unpacks the biology behind brain fog, including how lifestyle, diet, stress, and sleep play a role in either calming or inflaming the brain. She breaks down the science of microglia activation (M1 vs. M2), the surprising ways everyday substances like gluten and dairy affect brain function, and how even seemingly minor choices can either trigger or reduce brain fog. This episode is both a validation for anyone who’s struggled to feel mentally clear and a deep, accessible look at the root causes most people never hear about. Learn more about your ad choices.
