Why is my brain so foggy?

Not a diagnosis: a head start. These are the three drivers most worth checking first, based on what the evidence says gets missed most often.

01

Blood sugar swings

Fog 1-2 hours after meals tracks glucose spikes and dips more than anything else.

02

Sleep depth and apnoea

Fragmented deep sleep leaves the brain unwashed. Snorers, take note.

03

Iron, B12 and thyroid

The same trio behind fatigue quietly blunts cognition first.

Worth asking your GP about

HbA1c, ferritin, B12, TSH, vitamin D
