Consider your iron intake Description: Did you know that iron deficiency can cause brain fog in women? In a 2021 study, 80% of women with low iron levels reported experiencing this frustrating symptom. But is there a causal relationship? To find out, a 2007 randomized control trial was conducted. Women with low iron levels were given either a placebo or a 160mg per day iron supplement for four months. The researchers measured ferritin levels, which is a blood marker that accurately reflects iron status. The results were astonishing... Women who restored their ferritin levels saw a remarkable 5-7x improvement in cognitive performance. Their attention, memory, and learning abilities all showed significant enhancements. So, if you're experiencing brain fog and suspect iron deficiency, it might be worth getting a simple blood test to check your ferritin levels. Restoring your iron status could potentially lead to improved cognitive function. Remember, correlation doesn't always mean causation, but this study provides strong evidence for the connection between iron deficiency and brain fog in women. Stay tuned for more fascinating research on health and well-being! #IronDeficiency #BrainFog #CognitiveFunction #Shorts </video> <video> These Supplements Are Proven To Heal Brain Fog & Hormone Issues Description: Brain fog can be indicative of hormone issues.

In a recent 2020 study, individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and insufficient B12 levels experienced these symptoms. If you've been noticing pins and needles or occasional numbness, it could be a sign of B12 insufficiency. But don't worry, there's good news! After just three months of vitamin B12 supplementation, participants in the study saw an incredible 84% improvement in their cognitive function. So, how can you ensure you're getting enough B12 in your diet? Consider these delicious options: beef, tuna, and salmon. Just one serving of any of these foods will meet your daily B12 requirements. If you prefer to supplement, you can take anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 micrograms of B12 per day for three to four months. This will help replenish your levels and support your cognitive health.

Consider curcumin (turmeric)! Description: Curcumin, the anti-inflammatory spice, has been found to be just as effective as omeprazole (Prilosec) in improving dyspepsia (indigestion) in a trial with 151 patients. So instead of using omeprazole, which can have negative side effects, consider trying curcumin at a dose of one gram per day.

Dr. Morstein explains that when prebiotics are introduced to a depleted microbiome, harmful bacteria may initially feed on them. Over time, the beneficial bacteria gain strength, suppressing the bad bugs and calming symptoms. For the full conversation on this effective approach to gut healing, tune in to Dr. Ruscio Radio wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. #GutHealth #Microbiome #Prebiotics #HealingJourney #SIBO #FungalOvergrowth </video> <video> Optimizing hormones is key for both men and women Description: Optimizing hormones is key for both men and women. For men, Ashwagandha has been proven to increase testosterone levels and libido. In a 2022 study, 50 men with low libido saw significant improvements after taking 600mg of Ashwagandha daily for two months. While cognitive function wasn't assessed, it's worth considering if you're experiencing brain fog. For women, black cohosh is a great option. Estro harmony, a supplement containing 40-160mg of black cohosh, has shown benefits for women's health, including hormone balance and relief from symptoms associated with menstruation and menopause.

A study tracked 77,000 people for 20 years and discovered that the optimal protein intake is around 20% of your total calories. So, let's break it down: if you consume 2,000 calories per day (which is typical for most women), aim for 100 grams of protein. And if you're on a 3,000 calorie diet (common for most men), aim for 150 grams of protein. Protein is not only essential for muscle growth and repair, but it also plays a crucial role in maintaining brain health. So, make sure to prioritize protein in your diet to keep your mind sharp and healthy. #ProteinIntake #CognitiveDeclinePrevention #BrainHealth #Shorts </video> <video> Exercise REDUCES Brain Shrinkage Description: Exercise is not just good for your body, but also for your brain. Studies have shown that regular exercise can prevent brain shrinkage and improve brain function. When you exercise, your brain releases a miracle grill called BDNF, which promotes brain health. It also increases brain circulation and oxygen delivery. Yet another reason to get moving! And remember, anything is better than nothing. This 20-year study on sedentary adults proved that even just one year of aerobic exercise can significantly reduce brain shrinkage. #ExerciseForBrainHealth #BDNF #GetMoving </video> <video> Time Outside Has Benefits (& Only Takes 2 Hours) Description: Studies have shown that spending just two hours or more per week in any natural environment - be it a forest, lake, ocean, or park - can have incredible benefits for our brain health. Living near these nature scapes has even been linked to a reduced risk of death from any cause. So let's embrace the blue zone in green zone hypothesis and prioritize time in nature whenever possible. #NatureHeals #BlueZoneGreenZone #EmbraceNature </video>
