Are brain fog, fatigue, and mental exhaustion holding you back?  These symptoms aren’t just stress-related or signs of aging. They're often caused by hidden brain inflammation! In this episode, my guest, Dr. Datis Kharrazian, and I discuss neuroinflammation – What it is, what causes it, and how it affects brain function, mood, and overall health. You’ll discover how factors like stress, diet, gut health, and past head injuries contribute to brain inflammation and what you can do to reduce it. You’ll learn practical lifestyle changes, nutrition tips, and brain-boosting strategies to improve focus, energy, and mental clarity. You’ll hear more on:

  • How brain inflammation starts—and why it’s often caused by everyday factors like stress, diet, or past injuries
  • What you can do to calm inflammation naturally, including dietary changes, supplements, and specific lifestyle shifts
  • Why understanding your triggers —from food sensitivities to emotional stress — is the key to protecting your brain from long-term damage
  • How to optimize your brain health using tools like intermittent fasting, anti-inflammatory diets, and proper sleep routines 
    • Whether you’ve experienced brain fog, recovering from an injury, or just want to preserve your brain function for the future, this episode will give you the tools and knowledge to take control of your brain health!   For more information and show notes, please visit our website: https://biologyoftrauma.com/biology-of-trauma-podcast/
