Explore causes and personalized insights for brain fog under stress using advanced testing with Mito Health.

Why It Happens

Brain fog under stress is caused by hormonal and neurological shifts that interfere with mental processing. Prolonged stress can impair focus, memory, and decision-making.

Elevated Cortisol: Chronic stress raises cortisol levels, disrupting hippocampal function.

Neurotransmitter Imbalance: Stress depletes dopamine and serotonin, reducing motivation and clarity.

Poor Sleep Quality: Stress-induced insomnia limits brain recovery.

Blood Sugar Swings: Adrenal responses can destabilize glucose, affecting brain energy.

Reduced Oxygenation: Shallow breathing from anxiety limits oxygen supply to the brain.

How to Manage

Practice Mindful Breathing: Deep breathing activates the parasympathetic system and sharpens focus.

Stabilize Blood Sugar: Eat balanced meals regularly to avoid crashes.

Get Quality Sleep: Use calming routines and magnesium-rich foods to support rest.

Use Adaptogens: Herbs like rhodiola and ashwagandha may help buffer stress.

Seek Mental Health Support: Therapy or coaching can improve coping skills.

Reducing chronic stress helps restore mental clarity and resilience.
