Causes of Brain Fog & How to Get Rid of It
Brain fog can stem from various causes, including stress, poor sleep, hormonal imbalances, and dietary deficiencies. Factors such as high sugar intake, refined carbohydrates, and vitamin B12 deficiency can contribute to cognitive sluggishness. Additionally, conditions such as thyroid dysfunction, gut imbalances, and chronic inflammation may play a role. Identifying and addressing the root causes of brain fog—whether through improved nutrition, stress management, or better sleep—can help restore mental clarity and focus.


Do you think you have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)? Or perhaps you’ve been treated for it, or for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and you’re still experiencing symptoms. Diagnosing SIBO can be challenging because its symptoms vary so widely. You may not even experience bloating, one of the hallmark SIBO symptoms. In fact, SIBO can be so tricky that it’s often misdiagnosed as IBS, and research suggests that 50% of those diagnosed with IBS actually have SIBO.


The American Academy of Family Physicians say that 38% of men go to the doctor only when they have symptoms that don’t go away on their own. What’s more, men’s gut health issues are more likely to be ignored and brushed off as something they ate “not agreeing” with their stomach.






Cryotherapy, or "cold therapy," can be a powerful tool for recovery and health optimization. It is a treatment that uses extreme cold to promote recovery, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellness. Athletes and individuals with autoimmune conditions have embraced the benefits of cryotherapy, including improved circulation, pain relief, and metabolism support. Though whole-body cryotherapy is the most intense form, more accessible methods like cold showers and ice baths offer similar advantages.
