How I Fixed Severe Brain Fog

Brain fog affects many adults. Living with brain fog is not fun. It is something that prevents us from enjoying life thoroughly. Everything looks its colour and life seems to be meaningless. When I was in brain fog, all I wanted was to sleep and stay away from the excitement of life. Even small things were irritating me.

It was like a burnout for me. When I was experiencing brain fog, the common symptoms were fatigue, forgetfulness, concentration difficulty, and lack of focus even on essential tasks.

My brain fog used to start around midday and got worse afternoons. Several cups of coffee did not fix it and made it even worse by affecting my sleep quality.

After a decade of trial and errors, I found some practical ways to overcome brain fog and prevent it from happening again.

1. Quality Sleep

Sleep played the most crucial role in getting rid of brain fog. I used to have a lot of sleeping issues. Stupidly, I thought that 4 to 5 hours sleep would be sufficient to survive. I was wrong.

After addressing my sleep issues and getting high-quality deep sleep, most of my health and mental problems were resolved. Symptoms disappeared quickly.

2. Nutrition

When I was on fad diets to lose weight, I lacked essential nutrients, minerals, vitamins, healthy fats, and high-quality protein.

Changing my diet to a more sustainable one helped me recover from several symptoms.

Ketogenic diet helped a lot but transforming to a well-balanced carnivore lifestyle made the most significant impact. Removing sugar, fibre, and plants were the best choices for my genetic makeup.
