Brain Fog comes before the criteria are met for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). What are the symptoms of MCI? You might recognize them as what you are currently dealing with in your own recurrent or chronic brain fog symptoms. #brainfog #mci #mood 🧵(1/14)

You forget things more often.
You miss appointments or social events.
You lose your train of thought. Or you can't follow the plot of a book or movie. #brainfog #mci #mood (2/14)

You have trouble following a conversation.
You find it hard to make decisions, finish a task or follow instructions.
You start to have trouble finding your way around places you know well. (3/14) #brainfog #mci #mood

You begin to have poor judgment.
Your family and friends notice any of these changes. You may also experience depression, anxiety, a short temper, aggression and/or a lack of interest. Why? (4/14) #brainfog #mci #mood

Because you need a fully functioning frontal lobe to regulate emotions.
There are a lot of people walking around diagnosed with a mood disorder that are actually suffering from early cognitive symptoms. (5/14) #brainfog #mci #mood

And an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication is not an appropriate treatment for cognitive symptoms. Period. (6/14) #brainfog #mci #mood

You may even identify them as a part of another diagnosis like ADHD or a mood disorder. But really those diagnoses are just various categorizations of different symptoms we see with struggling brain health! (7/14) #brainfog #mci #mood

Luckily, we have an evidence-based treatment, well-discussed in the scientific literature. "Ketones, the brain's alternative fuel to glucose, bypass the brain glucose deficit and improve cognition in mild cognitive impairment (MCI)." (8/14) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35504234/

I teach people how to treat their cognitive and mood symptoms. (9/14) #brainfog #mci #mood

Step 1: Ketogenic diet with functional nutrition supplementation.
Step 2: I teach you how to do your own nutrigenomics analysis to personalize your supplementation.
Step 3 is Lifetime functional health coaching. (10/14) #brainfog #mci #mood

With two weekly Live Q&As, there is plenty of support to help you reach your goals. Don't suffer from cognitive and mood symptoms just because your doctor doesn't know what to do about them. (11/14) #brainfog #mci #mood

That is quite frankly a little dangerous. And not in a fun and exciting way. Untreated cognitive symptoms can be a sign of an early neurodegenerative process. (12/14) #brainfog #mci #mood

Don't suffer from cognitive and mood symptoms just because you've been told they are a part of your diagnosis and you have to live with them. In my experience, that is completely untrue. Huge improvements and even recovery can often be made. I see it every day. (13/14)

Retweet this thread and share. If someone doesn't want an online program, no sweat! I will help them find providers that can get them through Step 1. I just really want people to know all the ways they can feel better! (14/14)
