Hi everyone! This is Kelly - your Nutrition Coach and Brain Health Professional on a mission to teach you how to get a better brain!

Do you experience brain fog or neurofatigue? Do your symptoms ever make you feel isolated or frustrated because others simply don’t understand? Perhaps you don’t understand what is happening yourself.

In this podcast, we dive into the topic of neurofatigue, including what it is, what it feels like, the causes of neurofatigue, and most importantly, what you can do about it!

Neurofatigue is often called brain fog or mental fatigue. Most cases of neurofatigue result from a TBI - including concussions, blows to the head, or strokes. Other causes include chronic Lyme disease, chronic migraines, malnourishment, and even hormonal imbalances or PCOS.

But how do you know if neurofatigue is affecting you?

Well, neurofatigue is also called cognitive fatigue or brain fog because it includes pronounced mental fatigue after any form of mental activity. This "mental activity" can include almost anything, from writing to doing paperwork, shopping in a big box store, watching a movie, or simply engaging in conversation. 

People often describe neurofatigue as the feeling of being completely exhausted or depleted. They have no brain power or energy to focus, remember information, learn anything new, or perform daily activities. Concentration and focus can become so difficult after bursts of mental activity that even simple daily tasks can be debilitating. 

Be sure to watch the entire video to learn more.
