From Brain Fog To Clarity: How Diet Tames Neuroinflammation
Manage episode 519062384 series 2993661
We trace the silent, slow burn of neuroinflammation from brain fog to the cellular mechanics of microglia and cytokines, then show how targeted foods can cool the fire. The gut-brain axis and butyrate emerge as powerful levers to restore clarity, mood, and resilience.
• what neuroinflammation is and how it harms synapses
• why microglia switch from cleanup crew to aggressors
• how cytokines like TNF alpha and IL-6 disrupt plasticity
• the gut-brain axis via the vagus nerve and metabolites
• butyrate’s role in gut lining and blood-brain barrier
• dysbiosis, LPS, and systemic inflammation risks
• anti-inflammatory foods: omega-3 fish, berries, greens, olive oil
• spices like turmeric and ginger as daily protectors
• practical cue of eating the rainbow for polyphenols
• rapid timelines for reducing inflammatory markers
• micro decisions that compound into mental clarity
So here's the challenge for this week: Add one dedicated anti-inflammatory food to your daily meals. Maybe it's making sure you get a handful of those dark berries with breakfast every day. Or consciously drizzling that good olive oil on your salad or vegetables at lunch. Or maybe it's adding turmeric or ginger to your dinner preparation. Pick one thing and stick with it this week.
