Mental fogginess

What is Mental Fogginess?

Mental fogginess refers to feeling mentally cloudy, hazy, and unfocused. It can make even simple tasks like reading difficult. Symptoms include:

• Poor concentration and trouble focusing


• Forgetfulness and struggling to recall details


• Confusion and haziness


• Feeling mentally fatigued

What Causes Mental Fogginess?

There are several potential causes including:

• Stress - High cortisol levels interfere with memory and concentration


• Poor sleep - Not getting enough quality sleep hampers cognitive function


• Nutrient deficiencies - Lacking key nutrients affects brain performance


• Hormonal changes - Fluctuations in hormones like estrogen and testosterone can cloud thinking


• Medical conditions - Thyroid disorders, dementia, depression, and others

Hormonal causes like menopause or andropause are common culprits. As we age, our hormone levels change dramatically, especially estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid hormones. These fluctuations can significantly impact brain fog.
