"Is Brain Fog Normal?: Walkthrough of a Neuropsychology Evaluation" - Travis Turner, PhD

[@frankiegee5260]

This presentation is excellent. I suffer from lack of chronic sleep deprivation, pain and a few other things.... I was concerned that I am suffering from real neurological disability. Thank God I listened to the presentation. Thank you🙏🏽

I had brain fog since childhood, got worse as i got older.

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Cut all carbs and sugar. No alcohol, more exercise. And a clean diet, with lots of real vegetables.

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

@Cameron Powell Same here. I overcame it in my late 20s via exercise. Increasing the size of the neck can help alleviate it. Guten sensitivity has also been shown to cause gluten antibodies to cross the blood brain barrier and attack the cerebellum causing mild brain damage. There's a great channel by a doc called Gates Brain Health which covered that topic. After I quit grains and sugar, my mental clarity went way up. There's also a book on it called "Grain Brain".

@@tenminutetokyo2643 does cutting sugar include natural sugars like fruit?

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

@@MsFiFix1 Unfortunately yes, fruits are very dangerous because they are high in Fructose, which is a liver toxin. Things like fruit smoothies are very dangerous. How many people know eating 1 bananna raises blood sugar more than eating 2 Snickers bars? Carbs are just as dangerous as they chronically raise blood sugar. Why do alcoholics get liver disease? Because they are drinking sugar alcohol made from grains. Read the book "Never be Sick Again" by Raymond Francis, who nearly died from liver disease due to eating too much brekfast cerral. Go paleo - eat mostly vegetable and low-fat meats.

Try inversion therapy. If you build up your neck muscles, it can help greatly. The blood flow will be rerouted and normal brain function will be restored. That is what I did.

I have mild sleep apnea and wore my c- pap 1x during the study ( I just got the thing in December and haven’t used it home yet )I got maybe 3 hours of sleep after that . I felt like an entirely different person after that. I got better quality of sleep in those three hours than in years . The effects of those three hours lasted a month. I could focus better- remember better and my mood was better. It’s true that sleep apnea effects everything.

[@BobbyJonesCSF]

Hi Kassondra! It's incredible how important sleep is. Not sure if you want to learn more, but we have a handful of other videos about sleep disturbance. You can take a peek, if you'd like! We're hoping to add more in 2018. Let us know if you'd be interested. Sleep videos: ow.ly/x51v30hRkdd

CSF: Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation yes I am interested, thank-you!!

Chronic O2 deprivation == brain death.

[@iamthefiremanjj]

These even sound like adhd big help is diet changes , what helped me was an animal.based diet

[@johnpatrick8252]

ve brain fog can anyone tell me how to cure and what causes it thanks?

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Lack of blood flow/CSF flow. And toxins in the brain. High insulin has also been linked to it - which means cut your carbs/sugar/alcohol. More exercise. Cycling is a great help. So are pushups, if you can do them.

[@02122_]

Have had brain fog for more than half my life. It’s destroying me this morning. I want to die.

[@kimanei5359]

I’m praying for you

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Build up your neck muscles. Eat clean, more water, more exercise. Exercise clears toxins out of the brain.

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Whatever walked in the door? Parkinson's is caused by high carb/high sugar diets which cause high insulin, which damages nerve tissue.

I'm also a specialized healthcare provider. I feel like your presentation was very arrogant. I especially took issue with the question, "raise your hand if you haven't experienced these symptoms yourself." This is like calling everyone who needs a total knee replacement a pussy because others have at one point in their lives experienced acute knee pain. Good job discrediting everyone suffering from this cognitive decline that is up ending there lives. I also take issue with the statement that hopefully "they" will come up with a better term than "Brain Fog". Understand you are "they". You are the specialist. This is just "you" passing the buck on an entire patient population which by the way, is greater in size than your Parkinson's population. Your entire specialty is sitting back waiting for someone else to come up with "tests" that will allow you to recognize these individuals as impaired and until someone else rescues you, your profession continues to discredit these individuals as "normal" because they don't fall with in the scope of your tests. As a fellow health care provider, might I suggest some humility on your part and understand that it is not only okay to state to a patient that medicine does not yet have the answer, but that you truly demonstrate this humility and also document it in the patients chart as something other than "normal".
