The hidden reason why you have brain fog and wake up tired is very likely your gut.

And this is something I painfully learned in my 20s, but only after months and months

of popping various brain health supplements to no avail.

This is something I'm quite passionate about and excited

to explain more of the connection between your brain health and your gut. This is Dr. Michael

Rucho. Let's expand. What is brain fog? Name somewhat obvious, but to quote the frontiers in

physiology, slow thinking, difficulty focusing, confusion,

lack of concentration, forgetfulness, or haziness in the thought process. And of course, fatigue

we could loosely define as feeling tired when you shouldn't. So what causes brain fog? Well, again, often overlooked,

and in my opinion, hugely impactful, is the health of your gut. Now, it's important to clarify

if you're not eating a halfway decent diet, mostly devoid of processed food, getting in some exercise,

managing stress, and getting adequate sleep, then you should start there. But given these factors

are in somewhat adequate order, then the gut appears to be the most common cause of fatigue and of brain fog.

And why is it that the gut is so commonly implicated in fatigue and brain fog?

Well, it seems to boil down to inflammation, and this inflammation is generated via two main pathways.

This direct connection between the gut and the brain is... And this inflammation is generated via two main pathways.

This direct connection between the gut and the brain,

where inflammation in the gut directly triggers

inflammation in the brain, pathway one.

The other pathway, the gut triggers the immune system

to produce inflammation system which makes its way into the brain.

So let's cover each one of these.
