#83 - Brain Fog and Sleep: There's Someone In My Head, But It's Not Me
Show Notes

While brain fog has been described in many contexts, its incidence has soared since Covid. While the existence  of brain fog is clearly real, its lack of clear definition and delineation from similar disorders does inject diagnostic and therapeutic confusion into the clinical setting. In this episode we will:

  • Offer elements central to the definition of brain fog
  • Touch upon the demographics and incidence of the disorder, with particular attention to Covid
  • Review the history of the disorder
  • Look at theories related to the pathophysiology of brain fog
  • Evaluate the interplay of sleep and brain fog
  • Discuss the development of a brain fog assessment
  • List some potential brain fog interventions
