Brain Fog On The Rise
- Brain fog is a growing concern, impacting cognitive functions like memory and concentration.
- It's often misdiagnosed as a psychiatric issue, leading to ineffective treatments.
Inflammation and Brain Fog
- Research suggests brain fog is linked to inflammation, particularly involving mast cells in the central nervous system.
- This inflammation is also associated with obesity, as fat cells are immunologically active.
Stress, Blood Pressure, and Brain Fog
- Stress, specifically the hormone CRH, activates mast cells, contributing to brain fog.
- Additionally, brain fog is linked to POTS (postural orthostatic hypotension syndrome), marked by low blood pressure upon standing.
