Mental fogginess

What is Mental Fogginess?

Mental fogginess refers to feeling mentally cloudy, fuzzy, or spaced out. It can make it hard to focus, remember things, or think clearly. We all have moments of forgetfulness or distraction. But with mental fogginess, these symptoms are more chronic and interfere with daily life.

Some potential causes include:

• Stress or burnout - Chronic high stress depletes hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain


• Poor diet - Not getting enough healthy fats, protein, vitamins and minerals


• Lack of sleep - Fatigue disrupts cognition and concentration


• Hormonal changes - Fluctuations in hormones like estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, thyroid and testosterone

Mental fogginess is very common, especially among women approaching perimenopause and menopause. But it can happen to anyone at any age.

The good news - there are many ways to help boost mental clarity:

• Reduce stress through relaxation practices like meditation, yoga, deep breathing


• Improve sleep habits - aim for 7-9 hours per night


• Eat a nourishing diet with lean protein, fruits/veggies, healthy fats from avocado, olive oil, nuts and seeds
• Supplements - Fish oil, B vitamins, magnesium, ginseng, and ginkgo biloba can help sharpen focus and memory

With some targeted lifestyle changes, nutritional support, stress reduction practices, and in some cases, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, most people find great relief from mental cloudiness and feel mentally clear, focused and sharp once again!

In summary, mental fogginess is a common complaint that makes it hard to concentrate, remember details, or think clearly. Contributing factors range from high stress to hormonal changes. Customized treatment plans including optimizing diet, sleep, stress levels, targeted supplements and Hormone Revive bioidentical hormones can help overcome hormone-related mental fog. Regaining mental clarity and focus is very possible with a proactive, multi-modal approach!
