Main Points From Today’s Episode Only about 10% of the brain is composed of neurons, while the other 90% is made up of glial cells. When glial cells are altered due to trauma, they can react sooner to minor stimuli than they do in a person with a healthy brain. When your brain is inflamed, many systems in your body can be affected. Neuroinflammation can trigger symptoms like brain fog, hormonal issues, trouble sleeping, constipation, mood swings, and more. Dietary shifts that can help include removing sugar and processed foods, alcohol, dairy, and gluten. Next steps include moving on to an Autoimmune Paleo diet, ketogenic diet, and/or incorporating intermittent fasting into your routine.
