🧠What Is Brain Fog? Presented by Dr. David Saperstein
In this discussion, Dr. David Saperstein explains the phenomenon of brain fog, particularly as it relates to conditions like dysautonomia, MCAS, and sleep disturbances. Brain fog is described as a state of mental fuzziness, which can occur intermittently and is often exacerbated by insufficient blood flow to the brain, inadequate sleep, and dysregulated chemical release, such as from MCAS. Dr. Saperstein emphasizes that the best way to alleviate brain fog is to address and manage its underlying causes, such as improving blood flow, optimizing sleep, and reducing inappropriate mast cell activations. Individualized treatment plans are necessary as the contributing factors to brain fog can vary significantly between patients and even within the same patient over time.
