Manage episode 417999345 series 1177881
Welcome to today's episode of "The Dr. CK Bray Show," where we dive deep into the mystifying world of brain fog—a condition that's as elusive as it is debilitating.
Once just a footnote in medical texts associated with chronic illnesses like Lyme disease and chronic fatigue syndrome, the COVID-19 pandemic has thrust brain fog into the glaring spotlight, affecting millions across the globe.
Today, we're unraveling what brain fog really is: a significant cognitive burden that goes beyond the occasional memory lapse or scattered thought and becomes a substantial barrier to everyday functioning.
In this episode, we'll explore the cutting-edge research aimed at deciphering the causes and potential treatments for brain fog. Scientists are investigating several intriguing possibilities, from viral attacks on brain cells disrupting crucial energy production to unexpected factors like blood clots and gut health affecting cognitive function. We'll also discuss a groundbreaking tool developed by a team from Poland, designed to standardize the diagnosis of brain fog by categorizing its symptoms into distinct areas.
Listen up as we clear the fog on this perplexing condition, shedding light on how those affected can perhaps look forward to brighter, clearer days.
QUOTES BY DR. BRAY “Sometimes not-so-acute brain fog happens from too much noise, over working and not enough sleep.”
