Dear Stephen,
Why does the fog come and go? I don’t want to go to sleep because I know it will be back shortly after I wake.

Stephen’s response:
Recurrent brain fog can occur due to a number of things. Bacterial reductions and resurgences, immune upregulation and then adaptation by the bacteria to that upregulation, general fatigue from just living life which reduces energy reserves enough that the fog returns. It can be reversed, it just takes focused work. The expanded protocol in the second edition of Healing Lyme does have a number of suggestions for helping.

Also good for brain fog is tincture of Lion’s Mane. This mushroom contains active compounds that may be linked to the production of Nerve Growth Factor. These molecules are able to pierce the blood-brain barrier and are used for their neurological actions in the body. Lion’s Mane supports healthy brain function, brain tissues,and nerves. Always consult a physician before taking any medication. Some fungi products can affect blood sugar levels.

Hi Stephen,
I’m undergoing a holistic protocol and so far has gotten me in a much better place physically. Mentally I still get brain fog after mental exertion, and its a somewhat spacey and disoriented feeling that comes and goes but happens quite often. Recommendations for brain fog? I’ve taken some adaptogenic herbs that my doc has recommended which don’t help much.
Another question off topic but why do we get so tired after physical exertion? too much physical exertion brings out all my symptoms for a period of time. Just trying to understand this!
Dear Stephen, what is the best protocol for brain fog? I was tested positive for Lymes about 10 years ago and am otherwise very healthy with the exception of brain fog. Is there a protocol you can recommend for my condition??
