Integrative Care for
Lifting Brain Fog and
Optimizing Brain Function.
Does
your mind often feel foggy or cloudy? Do you have trouble thinking clearly?
Do you feel that you don’t function well? Are you forgetful or detached? Do
you feel absent minded? Do you often feel discouraged or depressed?
Brain
fog affects thousands of children and adults. It contributes to cognitive
as well as emotional issues such as problems at school and/or work, low
self-esteem, and unhappy relationships. It can be the root cause of ADHD
and autistic spectrum disorders. It is often a factor in crime and
delinquency because it can cause intense frustration and an inability to
function well in society.
Noah’s
Story.
Before going to
Jamieson Health Center (JHC), we had previously consulted another health
center but were quickly turned off by their unpromising treatment plan and
lack of genuine concern for our son’s welfare. Instead, when we chose JHC
that’s where we learned about our son’s gluten sensitivity and metabolic
issues. Our 5-year old son had substantial brain fog which impaired his
emotions, and mental and social abilities.
The previous
place only offered neurofeedback treatments whereas JHC’s approach is more
comprehensive. They evaluate each case and make a customized treatment plan
for each individual. JHC educated us on how diet can benefit or harm the
brain. Based on their recommendations, we changed our son’s diet to
eliminate gluten and some other foods. Along with his diet change, proper
supplements and neurofeedback sessions we saw tremendous change in a matter
of weeks. Before the treatment, our son was a socially unresponsive child
with much learning difficulties. Now that his brain fog has been removed
and his brain is stimulated, our son is talking a lot more at home and at
school. He is also able to manage his emotions and interact with his
classmates much better.
Brain
fog can have many causes and is usually somewhat complex. The most common
causes are nutritional and biochemical imbalances that affect the brain and
the central nervous system of your body and lead to systemic inflammation.
We
are combining functional medicine with applied kinesiology and qEEG brain
mapping to help identify all the causes of your brain fog. Once the causes
are identified, integrative treatments and qEEG neurofeedback will help
lift your brain fog so you can live life to the fullest.

What
is Brain Fog?
Brain
fog can be described as feelings of mental confusion or a lack of mental
clarity. It can feel like a cloud
that reduces your ability to think clearly.
It usually is present most of the time, meaning it does not come and
go, although it may become better or worse depending on what you eat, or
your state of rest and hydration. You just know that you do not function
well, and your mind often seems foggy or cloudy. This is not the same as dementia, mental
retardation, anxiety, depression or other common mental symptoms.
Some
people have had brain fog for most of their lives, and may even think their
state of mind is normal. In other
cases, it comes on slowly with age or time.
In other patients, it may develop seemingly overnight, perhaps after
a mild flu or other illness, or perhaps after a toxic exposure.
Diagnosis
of brain fog is usually based on symptoms, of which some of the most common
are: lack of mental clarity, mild memory loss, mental confusion, inability
to perform simple mental tasks such as calculating or writing, and mental
sluggishness.
A
more precise diagnosis uses a qEEG brain map, which can indicate brain fog
as elevated slow brain wave activity. It’s a sign that your brain is
running too slow.
What
causes Brain Fog?
Brain
fog is usually a somewhat complex condition to treat, because many factors
can contribute to it. Most of those factors are triggering inflammation in
the brain, affecting neurons, brain tissues and myelin.
Here
are some of the common causes:
·
Toxicity due to elevated levels of copper, mercury,
aluminum, cadmium, lead or other metals
·
Exposure to toxic chemicals
·
Imbalances of trace minerals
·
Food chemicals such as MSG, aspartame, food
coloring
·
Foods containing GMO’s
·
Tap water containing fluoride, chlorine, pesticide
residues, etc.
·
Diets rich in starches, sugars and grains
·
Vegetarian diets, which are high in copper and low
in zinc and other nutrients essential for the brain
·
Food sensitivities such as gluten, dairy and corn
·
Nutritional deficiencies such as calcium,
magnesium, zinc, chromium, selenium, iodine, L-glutamine, L-taurine,
choline, thiamine, B6, B12 and other B-complex vitamins, Omega-3 fatty
acids, and vitamin D, to name just a few.
·
Leaky gut and leaky blood brain barrier
·
Poorly executed cleansing programs lacking liver
phase II detoxification
·
Marijuana or other recreational drugs
·
Pharmaceutical medications and drugs
·
Adrenal fatigue
·
Thyroid imbalances
·
Neurotransmitter imbalances
·
Chronic yeast or candida albicans overgrowth
·
Low blood sugar or hypoglycemia
·
Blood sugar imbalances
·
Low oxygen levels in the brain
·
Hidden viral infections such as Epstein-Barr
·
Brain parasites such as in Lyme’s disease
·
Psycho-social issues causing mental and emotional
stress
As
you can see from the long list of causes, addressing brain fog can be quite
complex and you need a doctor who can find and address all the different
aspects of brain fog.
How can Brain Fog be Treated?
Dr.
Jamieson uses Applied Kinesiology and if needed, hair mineral analysis,
other saliva or blood tests and qEEG brain mapping to determine what
exactly causes your brain fog. Once he figures out what the causes are, he
can help you fix them using a combination of integrative chiropractic
treatments, therapeutic diets, detoxification programs, nutritional
balancing, stress reducing techniques and qEEG neurofeedback.
Dr.
Jamieson will customize a treatment plan appropriate for your specific
situation.
