Inflammation is an innate response to injury, stress, or illness, poor gut function or eating toxic foods and induces an inflammatory response.
Brain fog is a sign of leaky brain or brain on fire. In other words, brain fog is a sign of inflammation.
Inflammation in the brain causes neurons to fire more slowly, slowing down mental acuity, recall, and reflexes. Sluggish neurons also shut down the production of energy in the cells. This means that cells fatigue easily, and you may lose your ability to focus for long periods of time.

-Diabetes

-Asthma
-Overuse of antibiotics
-Environmental toxins
-Poor sleep habits
