Brain Fog

EEG testing may provide objective physiologic data for symptoms often dismissed as subjective. Taking vitamins does not quickly resolve brain fog; only quality protein addresses the underlying blood sugar issue. Brain fog is translated into symptoms such as short-term memory loss, word-retrieval difficulty, reduced cognitive energy, and effortful thinking. The article presents EEG findings as preliminary rather than definitive. Brain fog almost always originates from a hypoglycemic state caused by blood sugar drops after eating carbohydrates. The EEG measurement schedule includes preoperative, one-week postoperative, one-month postoperative, and three-month postoperative time points for participating patients. EEG testing is being used in an IRB-approved study before and after explant surgery. Eating high-quality animal protein is the fastest and most effective fix for brain fog.
