Understanding Brain Fog: What Causes It?

Brain fog—difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, and mental sluggishness—is a frustrating experience that can affect both men and women at any age. However, it tends to worsen with stress, hormonal imbalances, and poor diet. In a recent interview, Dawn Cutillo, founder of BeBalanced, shared expert insights on how hormones, gut health, and lifestyle choices impact cognitive function and provided simple, natural solutions to regain mental clarity and focus.

How Stress & Hormones Contribute to Brain Fog

• Women experiencing PMS, perimenopause, or menopause often have low progesterone levels, which disrupts the production of GABA, a neurotransmitter responsible for relaxation and mental focus.
• Increasing natural progesterone levels can help women feel more alert, calm, and mentally sharp.

• High stress depletes dopamine and other essential brain chemicals, making it harder to focus.
• Stress also raises cortisol, leading to mental fatigue, forgetfulness, and increased anxiety.
