The Brain Energy Guide for Women

🧠 Why Brain Energy Matters

Your brain uses more energy than any other organ in your body. When it's underpowered, you feel foggy, fatigued, anxious, and unfocused. Women are especially prone to low brain energy due to hormonal shifts, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, and chronic stress.

This guide offers 7 evidence-based strategies to naturally support brain clarity, focus, and vitality.

✅ Move Your Body Daily

Exercise increases oxygen delivery to the brain, boosts BDNF (a brain fertilizer), and supports detoxification. Aim for 30 minutes of low-impact movement like walking, cycling, or resistance training.

✅ Prioritize Deep Sleep

Your brain detoxes at night. Get 7–9 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Dim lights after sunset, avoid screens an hour before bed, and create a cool, dark sleep environment.

✅ Test Your Vitamin D

Low levels are strongly linked to cognitive decline, low mood, and brain fog. Ask for a 25-OH Vitamin D blood test and aim for levels around 60–80 ng/mL.

✅ Eat for Brain Fuel

Include healthy fats like olive oil, avocados, wild salmon, and nuts. Avoid sugar, processed seed oils, and artificial sweeteners that inflame the brain.

✅ Support Mitochondria

Your brain cells run on mitochondrial energy. Support them with nutrients like CoQ10, magnesium threonate, B-complex vitamins, and alpha-lipoic acid.

✅ Balance Blood Sugar

Highs and lows in blood sugar impact memory and focus. Start each meal with protein and healthy fats to keep your brain stable.

✅ Reduce Inflammation Triggers

Chronic infections, mold exposure, and toxins silently drain your brain. If you feel unwell despite 'normal labs,' ask your provider about CIRS testing, VCS, or SPECT scans.
