140. Bloodwork & Supplements to Help With Brain Fog

Grounded | The Vestibular Podcast

Show Notes

If you’re struggling with brain fog, you’re probably wondering what you can do about it.

Today, I’m sharing some things that can help support your body in this season.

Of course, talk with your doctor first. And, as with anything, start slow and work your way up.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

What causes brain fog and dizziness

Why having a “bigger bucket” can help with brain fog

Why it’s still important to address the underlying vestibular condition

What lab work and optimal ranges you’ll want to be aware of

How to manage attacks and flares

I talked a lot about getting back to basics. If you’d like support to understand and implement the basics, join us in Vestibular Group Fit for guidance! (Use code GROUNDED at checkout)
