Number one is to drink water with lemon or lime. Why lemon and lime? Because lemon and lime are rich in vitamin C, as well as citrus bile, flavonoids, and potassium. That combination is going to help with capillary permeability, meaning. It&#8217;s going to allow more blood flow and more oxygen to get up into our brain and diffuse into the cells. That oxygen is going to spell the end of the brain fog. You&#8217;re going to feel good when you get that oxygen in. We also need that hydration for blood sugar stability and proper adrenal gland function, and our brain depends on so much water and hydration. We need those electrolytes for the electrical current that&#8217;s traveling in and around our brain in our body. Lemon-lime water is powerful. Strategy number two is going to be using essential oils. just sniffing some essential oils, and in particular, an easy one that you can get would be peppermint. If you were to just smell and take a whiff of some peppermint, the methanol compounds that are in the peppermint are going to help dilate blood vessels, improve your respiration, and get more oxygen into your brain. It&#8217;s also going to provide antioxidants to help buffer free radicals, stress, and inflammation in the brain and support higher-level brain function. Peppermint essential oil is a great strategy. In the evening, you could try lavender essential oil, which will calm down stress hormones and help you relax and sleep better. Using essential oils is the most powerful strategy. 
Number three is doing a quick surge. Sometimes we might just be sitting for a long period. Because we&#8217;re sitting for so long, that&#8217;s going to restrict circulation, blood flow, and oxygen into our brain. Just doing something like sprinting in place or even punching up overhead, especially if you have lower extremity problems, we can twist back and forth. There are so many things we can do to just move our bodies quickly. A 20-second sprint with either our arms or legs can make a big impact. We can do squats. We could do super-brain yoga, which you can check out my video on, which is extremely powerful and has been shown to improve academic performance in delinquent kids by 21% when they did it twice a week for six weeks. Unbelievable. Super-brain yoga. Simple, easy little squat exercise anybody can do at home. It will blast brain fog and take your health and energy to the next level. Number four is going to be snacking on rosemary or fennel. You&#8217;re thinking rosemary or fennel. What do these herbs have to do with this? Well, they have something called rosemary acid. Rosemary and acid are powerful for circulation to the brain, producing things. I said a colon, which is your body&#8217;s major amino acid involved with memory. Snacking on those things is great. The other benefit is that they help to freshen your breath. I&#8217;ve got some here. A little bit of fennel seed, I can just take that munch on those, and it will freshen my breath and improve brain function. Powerful. 
Number five is using a wobbleboard. You can get something simple with a little disk. You can purchase it on Amazon.com for $20. Something along those lines. Put this on your chair, take ergonomic breaks, and do some movements. Get on that and move your body back and forth. That&#8217;s going to help stimulate something called cerebrospinal fluid through your spinal cord up in your brain, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to your brain. It&#8217;s also going to help lubricate your lower discs and the joints in your lower back to help prevent this degeneration and to support healthy core strength and lower back functionality. I want to do the wobbleboard exercises. Number six is going to be sitting tall and breathing deeply. We know the average individual is breathing somewhere between 12 and 18 breaths a minute. That&#8217;s just far too many. We need more than six breaths per minute—6 to 12—if we want to calm down our stress hormones. Just sitting up tall, having good posture, taking time to breathe in nice and deep, and then exhaling nice and deep. A great little pattern is five-second inhalation, two-second pauses, and five-second exhalation. Do that for a few minutes. You will notice improvements in your brain function as you get more oxygen in your brain. Sit tall and breathe deeply. The next one is going to be barefoot walking, so going out. Even if you&#8217;re at your office, just taking off your shoes can have a big impact. You&#8217;ll just feel more comfortable. Your feet will be able to breathe a little bit. If, for some reason, you cut foot odor, take those essential oils and rub them into your feet. That will help get rid of it. But also going outside and walking barefoot on grass, sand, or even concrete. The grounding process there helps ground your electromagnetic frequency, which helps with circulation up into your brain, helps reduce stress hormone levels and helps your body blast through brain fog. Go out and walk barefoot. 
The next one is a cold shower. If you&#8217;re somebody who&#8217;s dealing with brain fog or just exhausted in the morning, sometimes a great strategy is to change the tempo or the temperature of your shower, where you can rotate between a hot and a cold shower. That will help dramatically improve circulation, bring more oxygen up into your brain, and last through that brain fog. The next one is a power nap. Sometimes you might be in the afternoon or early afternoon and feel a little bit tired. Just taking some time, going to a dark room, closing your eyes, and laying there for five to maybe up to 30 minutes—even sitting for a few minutes—can be extremely restorative, resetting your neurotransmitters and giving you great brain energy and cognitive acceleration for your life. Napping can be amazing for your body. If it&#8217;s something that you want to accomplish in a year and can do regularly, I would recommend taking a power nap for myself. I try to take a ten-minute power nap just about every day if I&#8217;m able to. I noticed an incredible Russian energy that is green and functions better with the cognitive acceleration of memory. When I do that, I also take a power nap. The next one is snacking on raw chocolate. We know that chocolate is rich in paydays, which help produce more endorphins, giving us a feel-good sensation. They also help boost serotonin and dopamine, giving us more drive to accomplish things in our lives. Also, Rob chocolate&#8217;s rich and feel-good bromide, which is in the same family as caffeine, is not as addictive now, and it helps stimulate increased blood flow up into the brain. snacking on a little bit of raw chocolate. We&#8217;ve got lots of recipes using raw chocolate on our website, DrJockers.com. 
The last two things. Getting out in the sun regularly. Just getting some good sun exposure will help to balance out your neurochemistry, reduce inflammation in your body, and boost your endorphins and serotonin, which helps to calm and balance your mood and help you be more productive throughout the day. good sun exposure. The last thing is using music. We can use music to help balance the hemispheres of our brain. if we&#8217;re doing a lot of brain activity, for example, if we are an artist or doing creative work, we can listen to music with words, maybe worship music or something, and that word, the lyrics, and the music will help stimulate the left brain, creating more balance in our hemispheres. If we&#8217;re somebody who&#8217;s spending all day long as an accountant crunching numbers, that&#8217;s a left-brained activity. We can use classical music to help create balance, so we don&#8217;t have one side of our brain more dominant than the other, because that can be problematic. We can balance our brains with classical music to help create more calmness, more peace, and more overall brain functionality. You can use music to help impact your life. At the same time, if I&#8217;m somebody who&#8217;s maybe more left-brained, maybe more analytical, and I want to do something more creative, I can go ahead and throw on some classical music to help stimulate that brain. Or if I&#8217;m somebody who&#8217;s typically more creative and I want to do something more analytical, like crunching numbers or looking at my budget, then I can go ahead and throw on some music with lyrics to help stimulate that left brain. These are the 12 Strategies to Help Blast Through Brain Fog. Go ahead and start applying those things.

Hi, guys. Dr. David Jockers, here. Doctor of Natural Medicine. Today we&#8217;re talking about 12 Strategies to Blast Brain Fog. I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;ve suffered from brain fog, but I know I have, and it could be terrible. You try; you&#8217;re trying to remember things, and it just doesn&#8217;t come to you. Ultimately, when we&#8217;re dealing with brain fog, we&#8217;re just settling for a lower level and a lower quality of life. Here are 12 strategies that I&#8217;ve used to transform my own life. I no longer have to deal with brain fog. The first thing we get to understand is what are the major causes of brain fog. The two biggest culprits if you&#8217;re experiencing brain fog throughout the day. Number one, it&#8217;s blood sugar imbalances, meaning that your blood sugar is going up and down. When that happens, that&#8217;s going to cause brain fog. Number two is going to be poor circulation into your brain. That could be due to adrenal fatigue, toxicity, or several different things. Well, what we have to do is use strategies to help improve our blood sugar stability as well as circulation into our brain. Here are some easy things that you can do at home to enhance those things.
