Excellent work w/ all the links and refer. You probably spent equal time putting this info together, fog free!!!
Q: Where did you do your phlosibin thearpy? Tks
@@MarkHarders-ss4zk Don't want to put sourcing info out for legal reasons, but you can easily find info on Reddit, etc. Double Blind has a growing course, which is another option, although potentially illegal, depending on where you live.
Quitting coffee to reach lsd and magic mushroom... how about opium? If this is not satanic, i don't know what is.
I had brain fog in addition to digestive issues and GERD. I’m also non celiac gluten sensitive. I started a Keto diet and felt better within a week. I then added intermittent fasting. I eat at 11am and 5pm. I do not eat cane sugar. I use Stevia. I feel like a new person. No constant hunger pains or cravings. No digestion issues or GERD. I feel full eating wholesome foods. So, low carbs and no sugar have changed my life giving me energy, no brain fog, and weight loss.
Ayo! Those are some great results. A lot of people really well with keto, so I hope you keep feeling better and better. (:
Happy to know that !
Barbara how long did it take you to heal and feel better?
@@beautybunnyy I felt better in about a week. Two weeks after starting I felt fantastic. My husband and I learned a lot about keto and intermittent fasting from Dr. Eric Berg on youtube. I highly recommend his channel. My family doctor even told me he was jealous of my blood test results. I hope you feel better. Let me know if you have any questions.
I also have celiac disease. I started taking L-Glutamine because it supposedly cured "leaky gut." I was sort of skeptical whether leaky gut actually existed, but I figured "why not?" Within days I was thinking more clearly. It cut down on my acid reflux, but the most amazing thing was that it helped with my high blood pressure. I had been taking 40 mg of Lisinopril, and within a few months cut it down to 5 mg, because my blood pressure kept going down. I think this was all caused by healing the intestinal lining, which prevents molecules from getting into the bloodstream which cause allergic reactions, inflammation and anxiety. It's an over-the-counter supplement. Since it is just an amino acid, it is totally safe, in any quantity.
Remedies:
1. Sleep - bed by 10, reduce blue light
2. Exercise
3. Diet - Less carb, whole food, replace caffeine
4. Stop procrastinating
5. Psychedelics
6. Iodine (seaweed)
7. Intermittent Fasting
You got it! Get sleep down, and you'll have won half the battle. (:
Thank you!
@@dragonflyparade8143 You're welcome! Thanks for flying by. (:
Abstaining from alcohol and weed for a while to reset is also a big plus. I don’t want to be 💯 abstinent but I definitely benefited from abstaining for 120 days ish. Making it more of a special occasion thing… bc weed and alcohol mess with sleep real bad.
@@schuylergeery-zink1923 Yea, I feel like that's the best way to use drugs, cus it's more fun and you don't get burned out.
I used to exercise on a regular basis and started fasting again. Both give you a clear mind and disciplined thoughts
Nice work, Elzie! Nothing speeds up slow thinking like fasting. (:
Calm, clear, creative, connected. These are the vibes I get from your excellent videos so far. Thank you for sharing your experience with us in such an entertaining and unpressured way.
The four c's of chillness, ha! Glad you enjoyed it, as I certainly had fun making the video. (:
I smiled when you said fasting, since doing intermittent fasting its been a game changer for me, my story is similar to yours and now I am focused and alert all day long, ill wake up do a 2 hour run, work out, then work and eat in the evening and its amazing
That's some mega fasting right there, ha. Bet your digestion's like a fire-breathing dragon by the time you get to the evening meal.
@@AndrewFolts keep making awesome videos they are amazing :)
@@Avokodo Thanks, roger that!
For the ladies: I've been doing so much better since I've stopped using hormonal contraception... talking about brain fogging yourself into a shadow of your true being. Thnx Andrew, as always insightful and inspiring message!
Yea, I've seen contraceptives mentioned as problematic in lots of nutrition/health books. Appreciate you sharing this, Maike!
I also stopped hormonal contraception few month ago... I was so horrified that I will grow mustache without it 😅 However I still don’t feel energized, maybe I need more time and more steps
@@Anastasia-ze8bl Yea, mental health can be complicated. Just keep exercising, eating well, and minimizing stress, and you'll feel a lot better over time, even if some days it seems like nothing's working. (:
Does the mini pill count? Like would that cause it
@@AndrewFolts Intermittent fasting is what worked for me , don't know if you tried it , not as simple as many think
this will help ua-cam.com/video/fZhkFOCeZMQ/v-deo.html
No words to express my thanks to you for posting this video.
Appreciate you stopping by Salman. (:
Man, this is such a powerful video. I like how casual you address the issue. Sometimes the "serious" videos drain a lot of energy & exhaust the attention span. I guess that's also because of a brain fog. Before i came accross your video i didn't know what was wrong with me. I always feel like my brain's fogged but all these months (since i noticed the problem) i thought i was just imagining things - i didn't think this actually existed. But your video has confirmed my suspicions. I won't lie I'm an addict of social media & i have become very lazy to exercise & read for the past 12 or so months. I guess this is a wake up call. Thanks man. And oh, i really really really procrastinate - which is my biggest weakest point.
Yea, I know just what you mean. When you're burned out the last thing you want is some ultra serious life-or-death type video. Keeping things fun/playful is the best way to get out of a hole, in my experience. Just focus on one small habit at a time until you get it "hammered down"" and then move onto the next one. You'll be blown away by how fast you start feeling better. (:
this video really helped me out. As someone with a newborn, and who has suffered from long covid, I couldn't figure out why I randomly could not remember anything, it really did help. I find myself having to comment on things online to maintain any kind of memory. I have to start taking these tips to heart.
Ive been doing intermitent fasting for a week now and came back to personally thank you. Ive been in a really dark place for a really long time thinking that there is something seriously wrong with me, with how tired, forgetful and depressed i would be during most the day. Every task was a major struggle. But just after a couple of days of doing this i am like a new person. I am motivated to keep going and learning about it. So grateful, thank you so much for the this and the content!
That's great! I had the same experience. It's crazy how something so simple can be so effective, but that's often true in life. We tend to overcomplicate things. Keep up the good work! (:
Fasting bring such clarity of thought - its truly amazing.
@@JNYC-gb1ppthat’s why in Islam we must fast at certain times, people used to make fun of us for that but now that there’s scientific evidence supporting it’s benefit too it’s clear as to why it’s required in Islam, I thank god for being a Muslim
so happy u r doing well. the keto and intermittent fasting has really worked well for me. keep on truckin
JESUS is the ONLY way to Heaven, otherwise you will suffer a terrible fate when u die. @@noraaa8479
Andrew - this is some great work (journalism, presentation, beautiful video work, slick editing, animation, delivery, etc.). Wow. Funny, I also figured this out through a lot of trial and error but def didn't put together anything like this. Most of what you said I'm doing. I also dropped drinking alcohol. Pure game changer.
Yea, it is funny how people gravitate towards the same kinds of basic habits. Glad you're kicking off on UA-cam, it's a wild journey.
I struggle with brain fog and find you relating your personal experience very valuable! I appreciate the first hand experience rather than someone relating tips they just found on the Internet. Thank you!
Yea, I feel you, Landis! It's hard to trust someone who's giving out advice it they haven't tried themselves. Hope the tips help!
Thank you so much. I have had positive experience and or observation of everything you presented except iodine. I am so stuck that I haven’t had the strength and clarity to admit those truths. In this moment I’m feeling a confirmation and the self deprecation seems to be subsiding. I just want you to know that you are doing a great service to the world.
Oh man, that's great to hear. Self-criticism is a hard one to deal with, but slowing down and just doing some deep breathing helps me from getting to hard on myself. Cheers!
Hey Andrew, another great video. You're killing it. I actually had a similar path in life to you (journalist then freelance web developer). Also have a life long battle against brain fog.. never heard of the iodine but will look into it. Have found for sleep melatonin + sleepcasts works amazingly well. Keep up the good work mate
Yea, sleep is like the foundation of life. "Iodine Crisis" by Lynne Farrow is a fun place to start. I don't buy the mega-dosing trend, but a small amount of seaweed helped a lot. What's sleepcasts?
@@AndrewFolts I'm pretty sure he's referring to podcasts but for sleep, like those from Headspace, Insight Timer, etc. Love your videos and suggestions btw!
@@liraola1 Ah, gotcha. Thanks for dropping in, Lucy!
See Dr Sarah Myhill's books on iodine and infection/ CFS. There's a way to test for yourself if you're deficient.
@helenholdsworth6407 the real way to test iodine is to rub it gently on ur skin
If it loses color after 2-3 hours ur body needs it, getting the right iodine is the big problem, the iodine in the last 10yrs just my experience is not good.
Anxiety is the root to all evils
Get a hole of it before it gets
a hole of you..
Stay strong Helen..patients ar the name of the game.🙏
I am following your lead. I know I do everything wrong and have done my whole life... you inspired me. Thanks for that.
Know what you mean...wish had seen my own video ten years ago, ha! But once you get on the right path, things start improving real quick. (:
Andrew, this all sounds excellent. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you.
Hey, no prob, Joseph. Brain fog sucks, but thanks for watching, and lmk if you have questions.
Definitely love it and would enjoy seeing more in a similar format. Thanks for all your videos!
Thanks, Holly! Any particular topics you're interested in?
I've had fantastic experiences with fasting but completely fell off the wagon. Geez, it's been so long. This was a great reminder to get back on that horse! Easy sub - thanks for the video 🙌🏻
Right? It's the simplest and cheapest solution, but also the most effective. Enjoy the buzz! (:
Mushroom complex is amazing, the Lions' Mane mushroom in particular (legal). Also vegan omega 3 with DHA (a seaweed concentrate:). My memory and fogginess was caused by stress...Adrenal fatigue/low cortisol many people are probably struggling with this without knowing.
Oh for sure, stress is a big one! Haven't had any success with lion's mane powders, but I have some log-grown shiitakes started and might do lion's mane if it works out.
Neurogistics is a company you should look into.
Are you feeling better now? How did your doctor diagnose it was adrenal fatigue/low cortisol? Was it a blood test?
Saliva cortisol test@@shivangiamitabh8152
Tons of great information in this, seriously. Thank you very much Andrew !!
You got it. Glad it was helpful. Cheers!
Nice delivery. Chilled, relaxed and informative. Subscribed! : )
Glad you liked it. Appreciate the subscribe. If you have any topic requests for future videos, feel free to lmk. Cheers!
I really related to you brother, as I've had basically the same exact thing for years and which ironically also started in high school. the most effective thing for me as well was fasting. Thank you for making this video !
Yea, fasting's a life saver. Often the best remedies are simple, and you can't get much simpler than that.
I accidently found this video and I realised that I have brain fog for so many years now. I am definitely following the remedies that you suggested. P.S. You remind me of an old friend of mine.
Yea, we all have those moments where it hits us like...oh...this thing I've been struggling with is a THING! Then you can finally start do something about it. (:
Thank you so much for your knowledge and experience ,I have been struggling with this for majority of my life and didn't know .But as I have gotten older it is affecting me a lot more and making it hard for me to start and finish things .I am a new content creator and I know this is what has been holding me back from putting my best effort into to obtain success. So thank you again and I will start on these steps you suggested
Hey Courtney, congrats on starting your channel and committing to making some positive health changes to help with your goal! Totally know what you mean, because brain fog can make it so hard to be creative and motivated. Just fasting for an hour or two in the morning is a free and super effective way to start. You got this!
Really digging your channel Andrew
Glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for stopping by! (:
I feel like on some level I knew these things to be true, but it’s VERY helpful and motivating to see a person who lived by them and got results. Thank you!
Yea, I know how you feel. There are lots of people I kind of use as "North Stars" whenever I'm struggling. Helps to have that consistency to follow in someone else.
Finished a strong Chemo protocol last year and by the end i had lost a lot of memory recall and even names of people I’ve known all my life. Horrible brain fog. “I recognize you but what’s your name?” Horrible situation.
So decided to step away from my cautious, ‘no pills’ policy (rarely take anything for any reason) and I began researching nootropics.
Settled on TRYING L Tyrosine for a month to see what might happen.
Within a week or so my focus was back, and sharp! My mental energy was vastly improved and i no longer feel like I can’t think. The memories are still gone for now,
But I can live again. Feeling sharp again. Happy as heck with it.
Yea, there are so many things that can improve or worsen brain fog, so you just have to experiment. I'm taking L-Tyrosine. right now too for thyroid health, although it's hard to tell what effect is has.
Well done. As a holistic health oriented energy healer I can applaud your recommendations.
Yep, everything in life comes back to energy. (:
Wow honestly a great video much much better then the other "self improvment" videos and what i really like about is that it actualy geos right to the point that you need without any yapping really helped me ngl keep posting 👍🏻❤️
"without any yapping" Ha, thank you. I like to keep things minimal, so that's a great compliment. Glad the video was helpful. Appreciate you watching. (:
Thank you! Happy I found your channel. I’ve been struggling with brain fog for a long time and I’m trying to get a healthy lifestyle. I’ve had Lyme’s disease and Asthma so I never really got to develop a good condition for sports. These videos make me realise I’m not weird and there definitely is hope. I will use your checklist and try out fasting again 🙏🏽
There's always hope, it's just a matter of finding the right place to look. Did you make progress with Lyme? I've had it since 2019 and it's the one health issue I haven't solved yet. Still looking. (:
Great vid bro (though that LSD thing is probably not for me...)
I totally agree with the intermittent fasting. I have been skipping breakfast for a couple of years now and just feel better in every way.
I noticed the Telecaster in the background and would say that playing guitar (or piano or drums or whatever) is another great way to wake up the ol' gray matter.
Grace and peace, EJ
Totally! Much easier to work when you're hungry, plus it makes you really look forward to lunch. "Telecaster" Sounds like a good idea, I should add that to my morning routine!
This is GREAT! You're very talented at making great content!
Ha, thank you. It's the only career that supports my creative adhd (aka writing, illustration, design, filmmaking, running, nutrition, philosophy.............).
@@AndrewFolts It's so creative and fun to watch.
This is super helpful!! I’ve definitely noticed fasting has such a good effect on me with my art, i didn’t realize it was because of the digestion issue!
Yea, I connected art and digestion until recently, but they totally go together! (:
@@AndrewFolts crazy how nearly all of our mental limitations are tied back to our physical body!
Thank you for all of this information and a great list! Another detail to add to your list is B1 Thiamine plus all the B vitamins. I got this advice from a nutritionist online. When you are deficient in B1, you don't have the spark plug to ignite your energy. A - B Complex vitamin - really helped me out when accompanied with your many items on your list. I shared all of your brain fog problems for 30 years! It wasn't until I was 45 when I started solving the brain fog issue. General doctors did not see this as a problem that could be solved 20+ years ago and I didn't have the funds to go to a naturopath or nutritionist (fields where practitioners do have solutions for this problem). Consider yourself lucky you are young at a time when there is so much information out there. When I was your age sonny (kidding), even doctors had little advice that would move the brain fog needle.
Yea, it's funny, I sometimes think: "Damn, I'm so far behind in life...I should have started figuring out this health stuff ten years ago!" But the reality is, you're still ahead of the game starting at 45, because most people don't even begin to take their health seriously until they're 70+, and other people never do it at all. Good news is, if you're determined, things can start changing real quick!
I was looking for a comment like yours. I have similar good experience with A and B vitamins but that was 20 years ago and don't remember exactly the details of the recipe
Wow, I am so so so grateful for this video; I've been very worried about myself, beginning with the low energy of getting out of bed.
I'm going through a divorce, very sick mother, who lives 2-1/2 hr plane flight away, job, studying, ugh...and my gair has been falling out 😪 . I will try to follow some, if not all your advice, thank you 😊
Feel you, the last few years have been stressful for me too. Getting out into nature helps a lot, just to space your mind out from everything, ya know? That and stopping to do some deep, slow breathing whenever you feel things speeding up out of control. (:
Cardio exercise... Treadmills bicycling helps immensely to relieve stress and tension ...
Saw palmetto helps hair loss
Finasteride meds stops hair loss
Good luck 🙏
Sounds like you’re going through a lot so baby steps. I totally agree about nature….it definitely helped me get through tough times 🤗
It has been over a decade that I was also like this without being aware of what it is. I just have this gut feeling that something is wrong with me and I have to fix myself. Now I'm glad to be more aware of my situation by learning from the experience of other people. This awareness would surely help my personal development reach a higher level.
That's true, awareness is the first and most important step of healing. Hope you're able to rise out of the fog. (:
@@AndrewFolts Thanks man! You're a great help!
just wanted to let you know i love your videos. been wearing only barefoot shoes for the last 3 months because of your videos and i'm never going back. looking forward to testing out fasting!
Oh man, that's great! Which barefoot shoes did you end up getting?
I wear vivo geocourts in my day-to-day life. I’m currently running in Merrell gloves! I’m extremely happy with barefoot running and I wouldn’t have known where to start (or probably even have started in the first place) without your videos! So kudos to you, your videos are an automatic watch.
@@hendrixrox12 Appreciate it! Geo's and Glove's sound like a great lineup. Glad you food your groove with barefoot running!
Ive had brain fog for 10 years. It almost took my life a couple of times but i managed to keep going. I came from a lifestyle with drugs, alkohol and a ton of girls and fame from tv show in Scandinavia. I remember now when i heard you talk about fasting that i had moments of clarity and fokus that gave me a hunger for life again. My mentor told me that he felt something about interm fasting. I tried it for a few weeks which helped me. Then i stopped and have not tried since. My point is that ive had suicidal thoughts this summer because the fog has been terrible. But i now got reminded about the tips i got för fasting. Thank you! I will try these tips. ♥️
I have had brain fog on and off pretty much my whole life.
I haven't had such a hard knox life as you have had but to me it seems that you're switching back and forth between your old life style and your new one, which is perfectly normal. In my personal opinion everyone wants to aspire to something. So the only thing you need is some sort of inner force or drive, a good, well thought out plan that helps reach your goal and a good mentor or guide to help you remember why you want to reach that goal and to guide you through tough times. I wish you all the best and hope you will be who you want to be. Stay strong my brother.
Yea, you said it, it really does return your "hunger for life." Glad you reconnected with a tool that's been helpful to you. (:
@Milan Velky Yea, we had the same thing in the US of r awhile. Ironically iodine in table salt is basically pointless, because almost all of the iodine is gone by the time it reaches a person's home. Better to get it from sea veggies, like kelp.
Mercury in the blood stream also causes brain fog. We've got to look for the causes too.
@@heartmind6373 Yup, heavy metals certainly don't help, either.
Being a boomer, many, many of our generation became very debilitated with chronic fatigue syndrome. The brain fog was a consistent symptom reported by almost all people experiencing this condition. Like you, I also went many years with this illness, and I ended up trying all kinds of health regimens to try to overcome it. Anyway, there will be different remedies and regimens that will work for one person, but not work for another person. One bit of wisdom I could share is that each person carries a certain propensity for food and/or environmental allergies (for ex mold or mildew). This correlates with fasting as being a big key, because when u are fasting then u are not ingesting the food or foods that trigger the allergic reaction. Also, another thing to consider is that nowadays, after petrol-based chemical manufacturing began to come on strong in the early part of the 20th century, many of these petrol-based chemicals that are added to foods (for ex preservatives) could also trigger an allergic reaction. It is a known fact that all petrol-based chemicals are carcinogenic, except that it's in varying degrees. The govt allows them to be added to foods, but only those chemicals with a lower risk of causing cancer.
Yea, it's hard to figure out what's bothering you if you never let your body get back to the baseline of fasting. Hopefully more and more people will try it and start to become aware of how foods and toxins are affecting them.
Every human being has the God-given birthright to be granted access to the pathways that will lead to greater health and well-being ... that will bring about greater peace, on the inside and outside. In choosing this, it is important to feel that you are worthy. You have the power to forgive yourself for all unworthiness. One tool that can be used to test the things that you need to change in your daily habits is self muscle testing, or dowsing. If you feel you aren't able to do this at this time, realize that there are gifted people who can guide you through the process. Here is what you need to muscle test:
The allergy symptoms affecting my body (right now or in the past) are caused by:
_____ 1. Something in my environment?
_____ 2. Something that I consume internally?
_____ 3. Toxins or toxic residues contained in foods or drinks that I consume internally?
I will just say that mold or bad indoor air is often the biggest unknown culprit for brainfog etc. If you feel stuffy, have hard time breathing trough the nose for example in the mornings, your house might be moldy. If you feel better on vacations outside your home, this might be one clue. If you have a mold problem, you might often get an allergic reaction even from your clothes for a while if they have been always in the apartment.
Breast implants can and do cause brain fog because of the toxins going to the brain.
@@michaelcolorsVery true! In my case, it was breast implants, mold toxicity, and now Lyme. 21 years of toxin-based illnesses, which regular medicine did NOT recognize!
I'm obsessed with your eye color. It's so unique!
Ha, thank you. I'm kinda t'd off at the DMV because they always put "Brown" but my eyes are actually hazel. (:
Amazing video! I need to add something, if you pay attention from the most tiny detail of the moment or thing that you're doing and also observe the whole of everything, somehow you trust much more what you saw than what you think. In that way you train your mind to not overthink
For sure! There's something about observing tiny details and the big picture that, together, helps you see and feel more clearly. Life is nothing if not balance between forces.
Bru your content and production is beautiful. Your thoughts are beautiful. Your view count will come just keep up the work. Much love xxx
Thanks, appreciate that! It's fun looking back at how janky my videos were even a year ago and seeing how much progress can be made one step at a time.
All I had to do was go gluten-free. :) Took a few months to notice the brain fog was gone, but with that and all the other benefits I got, I'd never go back.
Ayo! Health can be so complicated, so there's nothing like a nice, simple win. (:
@@AndrewFolts Neal Bernard on you tube
I was thinking of going gluten free, was this something your doctor recommended to you? Or did you just decide to do it yourself? Any answer would really be appreciated :))
Stumbled upon your channel by your XERO shoes review.
How similar could one's improvement journey be.
It used to be the same for me in college, super stressed out, caffeine and smoking. I didn't realize what was wrong with me, but you coined this term 'brain fog'. So that's what it was.
I have begun quitting a few months back and it has made all the difference. I do everything you just mentioned in the video, running(barefoot sometimes), e-ink reader, sleeping on-time, procrastinating less. Except for fasting, I can't not eat in the morning.
I guess these come naturally as a way of better lifestyle.
Thanks for such an articulate description. I'll keep revisiting this video for reminders.
That's great, yo! Yea, I felt totally lost with my health for a while and wish I had these tips back in college. For fasting you can try either juicing or eating a piece of alkaline (non-acidic) fruit with lower sugar, like watermelon. Gives you energy but doesn't make you crash. Tea and mushroom blends are great as well. Here's my juice recipe: bit.ly/3SJcVZ9
@@AndrewFolts thanks a lot, btw I wanted to ask, how often and how long do you run? Can I connect on strava?
@@moinahmed1496 I run about 3-5 miles per day, mostly trails. I don't take any tech with me on my runs or bother logging, since I'm just out to enjoy nature and have fun.
Great video Andrew! Psilocybin, fasting, and exercise/meditation helps me out a lot too. I will definitely be trying out that iodine-seaweed combo.
Cool, sounds like we're operating on the same wavelength! Iodine can be great, just start real slow, because it's easy to overdo. Cheers!
4:15 this was actually the switch that flipped for me to finally try LSD back in early December. Of course it was a confluence of things building up to that decision, but I'd been considering it vaguely for a year or two. I picked up on your videos not long before that and felt like your ideals mirrored a lot of mine, so all just made sense in that moment. I love how I can now forever pinpoint this as the moment I decided to go into that world. I've already learned so much about myself from it. Even just in terms of barefoot running, it makes it so much easier to shed the cushioning because it feels totally unnecessary to begin with, and then to gradually orient your brain and body towards that new mode of thought
The only downside is I've been struggling with a meniscus tear since last June which still hasn't properly healed, so I'm in this spot where I have all this newfound joy for running and movement but don't have the capacity to express it all. Hopefully it works itself out
That's so cool! I was trying to think if there was a moment when I decided to do LSD for the first time, but I think it was just reading a bunch of Reddit posts, ha! Can relate to the awareness that it brings to barefoot running, though. I think it tends to strip away modern nonsense, so there's always a greater connection to primal things.
I've had what I now suspect is Lyme disease for the past two years, and running has been impossible at times because of joint pain, especially now during the winter, so I feel your frustration literally. Take it slow, and you'll be back to it in now time!
Do 45 min hard aerobic workout 2x per day 2-3 days per week. It seems to hammer out the cobwebs in my brain whenever I do it. I go from being dumber than everyone else to smarter than everyone else which lasts around a week. I first noticed the effect back in jr college when my grades went from B- avg to A+ honor roll effortlessly just by riding my bike to/from school 11 miles each way 2 days per week.
Right on! Yea, exercise has a hugely positive impact on your ability to think clearly/efficiently. I go for a run in the AM and a walk in the PM and always feel jazzed afterwards.
If you have the energy yes but if fatigued pace yourself
I agree about exercises. I am 80 year old female and walk every day. And rowing machine. Today I walked 10,000 steps. If I dont go out and walk I feel so sluggish.
maybe you guys have problems with insuline sensitivity. fasting and sports helps with that a lot.
I loooved your video. I feel low carb or no carb diet with fasting alone is amazing! Happy holidays from Vancouver, Canada!
Yea, it changed everything for me. I feel like when you do those two things, you just naturally start feeling better and doing the other things naturally (exercising, etc). It's like positivity dominos! (:
I like it and your voice has a nice kind of rolling, smooth, jazzy vibe to it, a bonus on an insightful video like this with the goodness of practical takeaways.
"jazzy" Love it, ha. Thanks, David! Appreciate you taking the time to write and glad the video was helpful. Cheers!
You missed the importance of the barefoot running/earthing. Earthing balances the body to a cellular level and decreases inflammation ( including in the nervous system ).
Fish oil, avocado oil, MCT oil, and olive oil are also helpful in decreasing brain fog.
I tried an experiment once, just gently walking barefoot for 30 days, then another 30 days in 3mm rubber barefoot shoes that weren't grounded, and I didn't see difference in terms of inflammation. Obviously, barefoot feels better, which can improve your mood and make your more aware, so that's the most important benefit for me. But yea, love me some avocado oil!
Your content is just too good bro. Not much else to say.
Thanks, Red! Had fun filming, glad you enjoyed watching too.
Thank you very much for posting this! I noticed that whenever I take mushrooms coffee, or Rosemary essential oil (one drop in a cup of water), or when eating curried foods, my brain feels right again, and more focused and energetic!
Interesting! Perhaps you have some kind of circulation issue going on. Rosemary, especially, is known for thinning the blood so it can most more easily throughout the body.
Oh my Goodness!!!! Thank you SO much for making this video!!!!!!!!
You're welcome, Cinda. Hope it helps! (:
If you have hypoglycemia, or any other issues that give you trouble keeping even blood sugar, you should still eat breakfast. Don't wait until you're already crashing to eat. Intermittent fasting is good for some people, but you have to be careful. Personally, I eat breakfast when I wake up, and start my day slowly so I have time to wake up and digest my food. If I don't eat breakfast, I'm far more likely to have brain fog, depression, and anxiety.
Totally! The goal is to feel more energized and sharper, so whatever feels right on a given day is always the best thing to do.
Love breakfast cereal tea best meal of the day
@@karengreenfield552 Did you mean "breakfast, cereal, and tea" or "breakfast cereal tea," because that sounds delicious, ha! "granola tea"
Breakfast, cereal & tea
For me I have to decide if the brain fog is worse or better than being fat. If I don't intermittent fast, then I gain weight, and get a fatty liver. This happens because I have a low thyroid.
I know it's hard to make videos like this b/c they are heath-related.
It's great to see that fasting helped many people, but I've been on intermittent fasting, exercising regularly, sleeping 8+ h/day for over 4 years and haven't seen any improvement. So, it may not be that simple. Hope everyone finds their remedy.
Yea, there are so many factors that can create brain fog. Unfulfilling careers, toxic relationships, systematic abuse, technology addiction...the list goes on. But you just keep making little tweaks every day, and bit by bit the pieces start coming together.
Have you had your bloods done?
I had the same issue and found my testosterone was that of a 95 year old.
6 weeks after beginning TRT and feeling pretty good.
I would still advise the intermittent fasting in conjunction, autophagy is the healer/prevention of most ailments.
check out high dose vitamin d have blood levels done to make sure you don't get into toxic levels thank me later
Hey Andrew, thanks for your insights. After 11 years of battling brain fog, I have concluded pretty much the same list of remedies (minus taking psilocybins although I have read micro doses can be quite effective in depression etc). Fasting is indeed the "mac daddy" of the cures; I totally agree. There are two things I would add to this great list: magnesium and ice baths. Ice baths are no easy feat to jump into consistently, but it does wonders over time.
Yea, funny enough I did start taking magnesium again this year, and it definitely helps me deal with the crazy stress of this world we're in!
people say cure but in reality i bet if you eat wrong ect you still have it so it is not a cure or a permeant fix check into high dose vitamin d
now you saving my life - resolving all my drama here and I have to say - MAN you got it.
Fog drama! That's worst kind, ha. Glad the video helped. (:
@@AndrewFolts all of your videos are now me go to learn and undo habbits i used.
@@madisonimogen1028 Small habits, huge effect. (:
Took me years to realize that I was experiencing terrible brain food, when I was in the menopausal stage. So bad that I stopped working. Then, when I had covid. It was a struggle.
Yea, it really sucks, because the fog can sort of pile up from multiple issues over time. Are you doing better now?
@@AndrewFolts yes, but it took more than a year again.
oh my gosh! Since fasting and swapping bread for potatoes at lunch, I can now work in the afternoons (rather than them being a write-off)! Thought I was the only person who benefitted from this, so great to hear this is actually a thing
Oh yes...the bread fog is very real. (:
Nice brother. Ur tips seems to work definitely. I start following them with full confidence.
That's great to hear! Sometimes the simplest things are the most effective. Keep up the good work!
I totally believe this! I’m going to try the fasting, it feels difficult, but I’ll give it a try. Thank you 😊
Right on! It's pretty easy if you do it gradually, like just pushing breakfast back 10-15m each day. Hope it brings you lots of clarity! (:
Yep! I can attest that fasting is the main pivot point; that'll start to change a lot of physical ailments. Couple that with time-restricted eating and just a LITTLE exercise and you'll start feeling better all over...not just brain fog! Thanks for the video. It was very entertaining.
You got it, Larry! Few simple changes can make a world of difference.
Hi Andrew!! I love your content for a while now. Your energy and relatability. I feel so conected w things y describe. I was wondering from this List I find myself really needing allergy medicine, so if y feel comfortable, why were y taking them in the first place and how did u stop? Thanks a lot!
I had bad allergies from a very early age. Sneezing, runny nose, asthma, itchy eyes...the works. In 2020 I went vegan and and stopped taking Zyrtec and Flonase (nasal spray) and within a month all my allergies were gone. Initially I thought meat was the cause, but when I reintroduced it, I had no allergies. Turns out it was dairy, because when I started eating cheese, milk, and yoghurt, my allergies returned with a vengeance. I love dairy so much I had a hard time believing it, but I've tested it at least ten times now, and every time I bring it back, my allergies return. An excess of sugar can cause flares too, but overall dairy was the main culprit.
Sleep, yes! Kindle, yes! These things have helped. When I had through study as well as trial and error figured out the things that caused and alleviated brain fog it still took time to get them into habit and under control. Somewhat ironically, being very busy helped me get ahead of brain fog as I couldn't not be ready for things and after a while I was forced to be a good boy
Yea, I love my Kindle too! Brain fog def requires some trial and error. And a little deadline pressure helps too. (:
I could see applying at least one or more of his remedies. The psychedelic thing was interesting. I dropped acid maybe six times in my life over a 4 year span and there was a sense of renewal afterwards that lingered. I was 18+ my first time using and generally it was positive.
Right on! Yea, psychedelics can be a kind of mental car wash if used properly. Hope the other tips end up helping too.
Hey Andrew, how do you structure your runs with fasting? Are you a morning/night runner and do you break fast right after a run? Thanks, love the videos!
Hey Matthew, usually I'll drink a little water, then go for a walk or run. After that I work until noon (fasting gives me clarity) and eat a big lunch for my first meal.
I went on the ketogenic diet last 50 lb of fat it was the best thing I ever did I have 10 times more energy than before everybody should try it it also has intermittent fasting which is great
Great video. Love your presentation.
You seem very bright and alert.
Ha, thank you! I spent most of my high school days being tired and doggy, so I'm making up for it now. (:
Yo Andrew nice video again mate 👌 I'll give fasting a shot. I got myself a light phone also ;) keep up the awesome stuff man.
Ahh, you're killing it! Just do the "move breakfast half an hour every day" hack, and it's pretty easy. Eventually it gets to be an all-natural creative high.
Hi Andrew, thank you for sharing this! It's been over a year since I fasted and I need to get back to it! I'm curious about your experience with mushrooms. I started microdosing psilocybin a couple weeks ago and have had a very noticeable increase in brain fog during the day. Did you experience this, at first? I'm hoping it's just an initial reaction. Only taking 0.2g every few days...
Hey Ashley! I've tried microdosing with LSD and psilocybin before, but I found it too distracting for every day life. Like you said, it just kind of gives you brain fog. Personally, I get better results doing a full trip once every six months or so, then integrating those insights sober. You might have better daily results with herbs like ashwagandha or lion's mane mushroom, which give an energy and concentration boost without the chaotic nature of psychedelics.. (:
@@AndrewFolts Thank you for your insightful reply. Microdosing and my day job are not jiving! Lion's mane has been on my list!
Where can I get those?
Maybe I took too much, man, but everytime I tried lsd and shrooms it kept me up for days and I would just be paranoid, get socially anxious, and cry like a cranky baby. There was some study that came out that said early intermittent fasting had some superior benefit than later intermittent fasting, which sucks because I'd rather skip breakfast. Thanks for the video. My brain fog is due to mold at work and home and a naturopath put me on dessicated thyroid. That seems to be helping
Yea, could be it was too much. If you're already an HSP (highly sensitive person), then you only need a very small amount of psychedelics, or maybe none at all. I remember Bjork in an interview saying she never takes drugs, because she's basically already on drugs naturally 24/7. Also, take studies with grain of salt, because for every one that says "A" you can find another that says "B." Just do what feels right for you. (:
I concur about the fasting thing. I’m going to try your tip about replacing coffee with dark chocolate (and I thought the “take a sip and ditch the rest” thing was interesting too).
Hey, that's great! Found the sip trick was surprisingly effective, so I hope it works well for you too. (:
Thank you so much man. Amazing video ❤
You got it! Appreciate you stopping by. (:
Wow it's basically sums up everything I'm trying to fix in my life!
Can you, perhaps, be my life coach? 😂😂😂
Ha yea, just go to the checklist and try out the various steps. I basically downloaded the past three years of my life there, and it's 100% free! (:
Interesting video. If you take iodine (preferably bio kelp algae) in the morning, you need to take selenium in the evening to avoid damaging your thyroid.
But the main key besides fasting is: carbohydrates are the worst for us. We need to eat more fat and less carbohydrates. But no seed oils!
Yea, I was supplementing with selenium at one point, but it bothered me digestively, so I'm just eating three brazil nuts per day. Do you have a form of selenium you like?
@@AndrewFolts what are the Brazil nuts for
@@briannalynn4501 Selenium. Essential for thyroid health. (:
Thanks buddy, great video!
You got it, thanks for stopping by!
These are all excellent tips. Intermittent fasting (delaying breakfast) definitely makes sense if you have a desk job and don’t work out in the morning, but I wake up and bike several miles to my very physical job. If I don’t eat something before I leave I’m struggling mentally and physically, then I gorge myself when I get a chance to eat. However on my days off I don’t eat anything until much later. Food is fuel-eat for what you’re doing that day, it’s simply not the same every day
Yea, the body processes food totally differently when you're exercising vigorously vs just sitting. I can eat a big breakfast before a long hike and not get any brain fog at all.
I wake up with pain and brain fog (probably fibromyalgia). By the afternoon I feel much better. So I skip dinner, and keep eating a breakfast in the morning and lunch at noon and this way I also feel much sharper by the evening. Just leaving it here as a variation ;) .
(Due to the pain, I must admit that even with all the tricks, I just can't get myself to concentrate, but that's fine too, life is what it is. Stress only makes it worse :) )
Yea, I can relate, I've been dealing with Lyme for the past three years. Being in pain all the time can definitely drain you, so every little trick helps.
I really liked how you presented your video with your discovery information. I have a rare disease that can cause me to crash, collapse, have a fully body(not brain) seizure, followed by periodic paralysis for hours or even days when severe. Can't move or talk. So I did a lot of research. Doctors didn't have a clue... well, it was rare like I said. Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis. Here's what I've discovered. My body energy can only last for so long then I can crash. It's like having a bad battery that doesn't hold a charge. It depletes quickly, so I can't expercise because it uses up energy. I can't get too excited or anything that causes my heart to race or adrenaline to pump overtime. Then crash. So, my discovery was... Raw Foods. When I tested out eating pure 100% raw foods I had natural energy empowering my cells and enabling my body to retain energy much better. It was like day and night. If I eat cooked foods it doesn't give me all the nutrients and enzymes like pure raw foods. What I also discovered was that i do not need three meals a day and all the snackies. I cannot eat anything with white sugar or caffeine or I will crash. Only purest of garden foods and no processed anything. So, now I know when I eat only one meal a day I actually function much better. That one meal is loaded with nutrients. My system is not taxed with extra food that my body does not require. Fasting is such an important thing to do. It's like rebooting your computer. Our systems need to shut down for three days to be rebooted. There was a film put out about a boy having seizures, that the remedy could have killed him. It's called, First do no harm. In it the doctor told the mother of the child to not allow the boy to eat for three days. It's interesting because the bible talks about fasting. There are reasons for this. Our bodies need a rest from the chaos and it needs to remember its original functions. For me, this is what's worked to keep me sustained. It's helped me function better and get the very best I can get, energy-wise, from my body. I wish I could say I am healed, but that's going to have to be a miracle. I believe in miracles, and will keep searching for that key. God knows what it is... now I just need to discover it. Raw foods... it's all God-created food, so I know it is good. Right from the beginning... the garden of Eden had it all. Simple. We don't need supliments, we need real raw foods with all the nutrients already in it. Why raw? Because heat kills enzymes and depletes a lot of the nutrients. It's like secondrate supliments rather than toprate... raw foods. It doesn't get better than that.
Yea, I've struggled with the same themes, though not as severe as you. Lyme disease and thyroid issues, which both result in energy deficiency. Raw foods definitely help, but it can be very challenging to figure out what works-so just stick with it, and you'll keep getting better, insight by insight. (:
DUDE YOU ARE AWESOME good points. very true
Thanks, Braden. Appreciate you dropping by!
I use 2 drops of Lugals iodine in my coffee in the morning. I love fasting!
Nice! Wouldn't recommend coffee on an empty stomach, though, since it's extremely acidic and can damage the lining, plus mess up your pH level. I'd go with something gentler, like mushroom blends to start the day, then have your coffee later with a meal.
I’ve had people my whole life tell me to eat breakfast and I don’t like it it slows me down and I like being hyper and productive; start eating about 2 PM and get two meals I don’t snack Because my meals are healthy no sugar low carbohydrate organic free range yummy no cravings I cheat once a week once every couple weeks and I feel it in my body the next day😮
Totally! As soon as I eat my body goes into shutdown mode, and that's the end of my productivity, ha. Good on you for figuring out what works best for your brain/body!
@@AndrewFolts Well I am a rocket scientist :-) applied math computer science BS ha ha ha from UCSD it’s funny that it’s BS but not and yeah I listen to my body because it talks a lot more clear than “doctors and other health experts” but it’s just a bunch of chatter so thank you for the reinforcement fasting is amazing when I feel really shitty I won’t eat for a at least one whole day What often 48 hours as it completely resets my body🔥💕💕💕🔥
Cheers to the New Year! May 2023 be an extraordinary one!
May all our fog turn to sun!
Thanks for the one sip coffee rule, gonna try it!!
Works like a charm. Mini fix with no crash. (:
Hmm. I went down a similar path before. I started keto and then intermittent fasting to treat my GERD, but after 2 years my body crashed. Fasting or low carb made me feel worse every time I tried it. I’ve tried a bunch of things in between but right now I always eat breakfast, I get most of my energy from carbs, but besides my starchy staples of rice and potatoes, I tend to get almost all my sugar from fruit rather than pastries or other refined sources. I also eat fruit like apples and bananas along with beans and psyllium husk for soluble fiber. I’m still working on fixing my sleep and some days are better than others, but at least this approach doesn’t make me feel as terrible as fasting or low carb. I have some ideas on the mechanisms behind all this but it gets quite complicated. I guess my point is that this approach doesn’t always work for everyone.
Yea, low-carb never worked for me, either. If you're crashing after skipping breakfast it could be you didn't get enough nutrition and/or sleep the night before. But the most important thing is that you listen to your body and just do what works-no one's the same. Also...TEAM PSYLLIUM HUSKS! (:
With the coffee truck I find you have the first sip, Chuck the middle and then have the last sip. Only takes a few times and the coffee cravings go away after a few days. For me it’s the last sip that tells my brain I’ve had the coffee. Hope that’s useful for someone.
@@carolynclitheroe3588 Ha, yes!! This is exactly what I did when I quit coffee. It works like a charm.
I think what is most important is avoiding processed food and getting exercise
Have you looked into your stomach acid levels? I have low stomach acid, and I add acid at meals. If I don’t, I crash afterwards.
I was helped with the iodine also but (I have low thyroid) I also added a Potassium supplements. I must take a few per day.. It helped a lot. I now can go all day without falling asleep.
Heck yea! Potassium/sodium is another common imbalance, and it can definitely cause brain fog if you're low.
Totally agree with K+....i take them one in the morning and another around midday to keep me going.
It helped me a lot !! Thank you so much!!🙏
Glad to hear that, Santosh. Keep up the good work!
I’ll try your recommendations. Thank you for sharing!
Hope they help. Thanks for stopping by, Cora! (:
Niacin can also help, especially with long cid 19
Also breathing techniques and anxiety relief can actually help too.
As for me, these two things provided some relief so far. Also, eating low glycemic foods helps. I guess in some ways that's similar to fasting, because your blood sugar is stable.
Yea, B Complex can be really helpful. Breathing and low-sugar as well. Props to finding some tools that work!
Most people don’t want to believe that seeking our Creator first and foremost will take every worry away
People who don’t want anything to do with our Creator didn’t receive what they wanted in their flesh they expected to have their will be done going against other people’s will
These are the last days times are going to get worse and people are going to be tired
Glad you found what worked for ya!
@@AndrewFolts thanks
10 minutes of meditation when I get up in the morning really helps me, too!
Yea, I love starting my day by just lying in bed and brainstorming creative ideas. I think it's that you're not using any energy so 100% goes to positive thinking. (:
Thanks for the tips Andrew. I also found doing the Buteyko Breathing Method each day eased my brain fog considerably.
Hey great work, David! Makes total sense, since breath is the #1 source of fuel for the body.
My understanding is that brain fog is just inflammation, so anti inflammatories will usually do the trick. Fasting yes most definitely, but also stuff like turmeric, garlic, and especially ground/earthing (via a grounded bedsheet) which for many people is literally life-changing, as it was for me as well (cured my life-long persistent life-threatening allergic asthma). Grounding is the ultimate anti inflammatory, and there's no shortage of scholarly research proving that as well. Facts.
Ha, well I barefoot run and walk, so I should be all set!
True
@@AndrewFolts That'll do it my friend. As long as it's something you're doing regularly, or so I understand anyway. When you're positively charged from being short on electrons your body acts like a magnet, sucking them up like mad from the earth and healing those inflamed tissues.
inflammation sypmtomps other than brain fog?
@@muratsenturk83 Inflammation can strike anywhere and cause all sorts of symptoms. Inflammation in the head area specifically, when it goes acute, can also result in headaches. If you feel "full" in your head, like congestion, and you're confused and a bit depressed, it's likely inflammation. Easy way to find out: get some cold medicine with pseudoephendrine and if that clears your head then you have inflammation.
I wanted to brag how growing beautiful beard cured my brain fog but I shaved this morning. Anyway, tip for those who's affected by coffee: drink it with a proper amount of good fats. Coffee is rich of polyphenols that kind of needed to be consumed with fats. Dark chocolate that is being mentioned is already balanced because it contains cacao butter in itself. As for coffee, you could enjoy it with coconut cream, nuts, avocado, lactose-free cheese, buckwheat with coconut oil... That's soooo good, I drink 2 espresso every day and it never ever ever ever affects me. And of course, drink enough water with it, too. That's what I've discovered for myself so that may be useful for someone. Of course we are all different but my sisters f.e. take coffee badly. Guess what? They never compliment it by healthy fats.
Great tip! I bet most people aren't pairing it properly, and I'm sure that could make a big difference. That and growing a beard. (:
@@AndrewFolts Yup! I am joking around but actually you nailed it. Especially iodine. I myself take kelp, fucus and roll my food in nori. No beard without iodine. We all know iodine-selenium relationship but not many people know that eating too much cruciferous vegetables will throw your iodine levels to its lowest.
@@nonsentofreddo What's your opinion on "too much" cruciferous? Is half a a cup of broccoli daily too much? Always curious, because everyone disagrees, ha! Also, yes, nori is absolutely delicious.
@@AndrewFolts no, it's absolutely not much. If it's not Giant Alice in Wonderland's CUP! when I ate 500-1 kg of raw broccoli/cabbage a day that was a lil' too much, I guess. Now as I am back to my extra-mini-portions again I won't encounter such a problem but for those who eats a lot well I guess it'll make sense to increase iodine intake to compensate. Apart from interfering with iodine, cruciferous are cool f.e. Indole-3-carbinol helps us with estrogen metabolism and hormones functioning is well I'd say one of the most important thing for both sexes. Btw broccoli is paired with healthy fats, too))))))) If I wasn't an artist, I'd open NORIneria ) lots of staff rolled in nori. cool
@@nonsentofreddo Great answer, thank you! I'll rest easier knowing I'm not overdosing on broccoli. (:
Hi Andrew! Thanks for another awesome video! I was wondering what pillow you use? It looks super comfy! My pillow that I've been using for years needs replacing and I have tried so many different pillows but they're all wrong -- either too firm, not firm enough, etc. I mostly sleep on my side and all of the recommendations are a big fail. I've been thinking about pillows a ton and whether we even need one -- much like barefoot shoes. But sleeping without one feels wrong lol! Thanks for anything you can share!
Hey Lisa, no idea, ha. I've had it for years. But generally it's just a lightweight feather pillow, which is nice, because then you can sort of fluff it into whatever shape/thickness you want. If I'm side sleeping I sort of scrunch it up under my head to make it more firm.
@@AndrewFolts thanks for your reply! I used to have a feather pillow when I was growing up -- I should try one again!
Years ago I was forgetting procedures that I wrote 😮. I saw a brain surgeon on TV discussing Omega Oils ~ specifically HCA and Krill Oil ~ I got immediate results within a week when I started taking them. I recently started fasting and can’t agree more. I’ve been waking up naturally at 5am with lots of energy and no requirement for lots of caffeine to get me going.
Yea, Omega's are essential for brain health. Glad you found your groove with fasting too! (:
Keto definitely made me lose a ton of weight and cleared my head big time.
Lots of people get good results with keto. Glad it worked for ya!
Don't forget that gluten sensitivity can cause brain fog also.
Yea, I stopped eating gluten for about a year and it definitely helped. Couple months ago, discovered Einkorn, which is an ancient, un-hybridized variety of wheat, and it has much less gluten. Been making sourdough with no ill effects.
@@AndrewFolts Intermittent fasting helps with brain fog for me. A cold KOMBUCHA in the morning is good for the digestive system, which affects the brain too. 👍 💡
@@rubencohen2936 is there a specific sensitivity test you can take for gluten intolerance?
@@fumanboy try going gluten free for a week & see if you feel better. Try it for another week, then a third week - if you're feeling much better by this time then make it a lifestyle choice! I don't have to avoid gluten completely but I can't have it more than twice a week or it "settles" in my joints & it'll feel like arthritis all over my body. It was such a relief to find out the cause of my pain & it's such an easy remedy. No arthritis doctor will tell you this information as they want your money $$$$!!!!
Thank you, Andrew
You're welcome, thanks for watching! (:
I just want to say your awesome!
Ha, thanks! Glad you liked the video, Nate. (:
of course fasting! 😊 It is a cure for everything as Quran says and It is one the pillars of islam 🥰
Yea, I think it would do a world of good if everyone stopped eating all the time and tried a bit of weekly/daily fasting.
