“[Cognitive decline] is possible to reverse—and it’s preventable. The reversal works best when you catch it early, and there’s not really too soon a time to start.”
- Monica Tarr
Monica joins me today to discuss the pillars of overcoming and preventing brain fog and cognitive decline. She shares her experience with brain fog and describes her initial tendency to push through it despite her body’s fatigue.
She outlines her journey toward enhancing her brain health and describes how long it took before she started seeing results on her cognitive sharpness, mood, and weight. Monica also recounts how she became inspired to help others navigate brain fog through health coaching and highlights the role of food in maintaining cognitive health.
