Brain Fog & Mental Fatigue
Brain fog and mental fatigue can make it difficult to think clearly, focus, or sustain mental energy throughout the day. Many people describe feeling mentally “slowed down,” forgetful, or overwhelmed by tasks that once felt manageable. These experiences are often linked to prolonged stress, burnout, nervous system overload, or lifestyle imbalance. While conventional care may address specific factors, holistic and integrative approaches focus on supporting cognitive clarity through whole-system regulation and recovery. This page explores non-diagnostic support options.
