While in a podcast interview last week with Maite from Bio Stack a light bulb went off in my head.
Brain fog is a brain fatigue.
Not sure why that didn’t click for me in the past but better late than never!
Your brain uses the same molecules your body uses to make energy.
If your body is tired you’ll have signs of brain fatigue like fogginess, forgetfulness and… dare I say… ADD-like can’t focus symptoms too.
Research has shown you make less of a molecule known as NAD – nicotinamide adenine di-nucleotide as you age.
You can’t live without NAD, it’s required for your metabolism and DNA repair.
The less NAD you have the faster you’ll age.
Brain fog is the second most common complaint in my clients.
Like many of my clients, I don’t want to be stuck searching for words, wandering in and out of rooms because I don’t remember why I went in there…
…or worse.. being slow to have a snarky comeback to my husband teasing me.
When those things happen you think…”do I have dementia?”
Or…”is this the start of Alzheimer’s?”
Dr. Krause’s Protocols
Instructions Included
Traveling soon? Looking to detox or reset your gut? Try one of Dr. Krause’s Fullscript plans.
My usual go-to items for brain fog, memory issues and lack of concentration or creativity are nootropics like…
- Lion’s Mane
- Huperzine A
- Bacopa
- Choline
- Phosphatidylserine
- Or a blend from Nootopia’s mix of options
Prior to last week..I never thought about blending NAD with my faves above for when I need ultimate concentration and focus.
I’ve been taking NAD Regen from BioStack for about 3 months now and I have noticed that it’s helping with energy overall.
After the podcast light bulb moment I paired NAD Regen with phosphatidylserine and Lion’s Mane mid-morning to prepare for my evening masterclass I taught on how to read labs.
I felt focused and clear, despite it being 7pm, my time, for the presentation.
Coincidence? Maybe. Time will tell.
NAD Regen is made of a blend of NAD boosters and recyclers so it keeps the effect of NAD going in your body.
Best to take in the morning to not have any impact on your sleep.
But when you find it – it’s worth it’s weight in gold.
Thought I’d share just in case you’re looking to optimize brain function & creativity plus boost your body’s ability to make energy.
