Brain fog
Trouble focusing, word-finding trouble, or foggy afternoons. Often a hormonal or metabolic signal — not a personality change.
Overview
Brain fog is usually downstream of thyroid changes, perimenopause, low testosterone, poor sleep, or metabolic dysregulation. We look at all of it before assuming it's 'just stress.'
What we look at
Signals, not guesses.
- Thyroid panel including Free T3 and reverse T3
- Sex hormones (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone)
- Fasting glucose + insulin + HbA1c
- Sleep quality intake
How we approach it
The workflow.
- 01First visit collects the symptom pattern and timeline.
- 02Targeted labs — not a shotgun panel.
- 03Review visit to connect what we found to how you're feeling.
- 04Plan focused on the driver, not on generic nootropics.
