Top 5 Root Causes of Brain Fog and Fatigue—And How to Fix Them Naturally

June 29, 20251 min read

Feel foggy? Off your game? Like you’re showing up at 60% but expected to perform at 100?

Before you blame stress or age—or worse, try to power through—consider this:

Your brain doesn’t operate in isolation.

In fact, what many high-performing professionals call “burnout” or “brain fog” is often your body’s way of saying:
“Something’s off.”

Real Talk: Even Teens Are Feeling It

Case in point—my 16-year-old recently hit a mental wall after a few days of eating lots of ice cream. When we traced it back, it wasn’t emotional stress—it was blood sugar chaos.

What you eat, how you sleep, and how you move all impact your mind.

6 Hidden Causes of Brain Fog and Burnout

Dr. Mark Hyman coined the term “broken brain syndrome”—a state where the brain short-circuits due to underlying imbalances in:

  • Blood sugar

  • Nutrients (especially magnesium, omega-3s, B vitamins)

  • Sleep quality

  • Environmental toxins (mold, metals, endocrine disruptors)

  • Hormonal health

  • Gut and inflammation response

What Actually Helps:

Forget more caffeine. Try this instead:

Fuel your focus: Eat a real breakfast with protein + fat
Get sunlight in the AM: Boosts dopamine + sets your internal clock
Move your body + breathe deeply (increases oxygen + resilience)
Add magnesium-rich foods—and supplement if needed
Cut white sugar, flour, and seed oils—they wreak havoc on your brain
