How to Clear Brain Fog and Gain Clarity

Do you ever have those days where you can't seem to think straight?  It can feel like your brain is actually foggy, and you can't possibly see through the fog to get to your thoughts.  Fatigue often accompanies brain fog -- feeling easily irritated, forgetting things or having trouble learning new things, feeling unmotivated, anxious, lacking concentration and even insomnia. The stress of life can cause brain fog to take root, but the good news is you can do a lot to clear the fog in your head.

Here are a few simple tweaks you can start implementing now:

Change your diet.  One of the best ways to clear away brain fog is to change what you eat. If you are eating processed and artificial foods, it’s time to cut those out of your life, as they can cause a host of problems including brain fog.  Beware of cutting carbs -- your brain needs them to feel more centered. Swap out unhealthy carbs for complex carbs made with whole grains. Start adding in more fresh fruits and vegetables. Doing these things will help reduce the inflammation that can set off brain fog.

Go to sleep.  Your body needs sleep, and if you’re not getting enough of it, brain fog will prevail. Start going to bed a little earlier each night and having a routine of unwinding at bedtime to help prepare yourself for better sleep. The more sleep you get, the better your health will be overall and the clearer your brain will feel. 


Get more exercise.  Because exercise helps get the blood flowing through your body, transporting more oxygen with it, it’s a great way to clear brain fog. Plus, you’ll feel better too. Try a brisk walk, an outdoor run, yoga, or a HIIT at-home workout and feel the positivity of change all over.

Find healthy ways to manage stress.  Take a moment for yourself. Ignore your phone and find a way to unwind that makes you feel positively fulfilled. If you don’t, you can allow anxiety and fatigue to fester which can cause your cortisol levels skyrocket. An overabundance of cortisol can prompt you to gain weight and have trouble sleeping, inducing the brain fog and feeling unwell.  

Cleanse.  Heavy metals and toxins are in our air, water, and even in our food.  When we ingest them, it causes inflammation in our gut and takes a toll on our body.  Unfortunately, we cannot avoid them altogether, so we must be mindful of cleansing as often as possible.  As a simple daily task, try flushing out toxins with more water which will help move toxins out of the body and leave it refreshed.

You don’t have to suffer from brain fog anymore. Take these steps for your health, and you’ll find you’ll see everything more clearly.
