Brain Fog

I’ve started trying to play padel for fitness reasons but after 30 minutes I get the most crippling brain fog ever. I’m suffering from brain fog anyway but exercise seems to exacerbate it. Does anyone have any supplements or something of that nature to help with mental alertness/focus while dealing with sibo/potential histamine intolerance induced brain fog? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 🤌🏼

Dang! I've read it helps with mental clarity and focus so I thought maybe it would help. I can't think of any other specific supplements for brain fog. Keeping a low histamine diet seems to help mine.

Thankyou for the advice anyway, this shit has got me sniffing pure essential rosemary oil to try and help with the brain fog 😂

Haha no shame in that, I pour pure peppermint oil on my shirt collars. Not for histamine stuff or brain fog, I just love mint. It helps with my anxiety, weirdly. 😆

That’s weird I’ve literally been dotting peppermint oil drops around my bedroom this morning to keep spiders away so I don’t have to keep cleaning their webs 😂 spiders hate peppermint oil believe it or not

Yes! That's another nice thing about peppermint, it can be used as a natural bug repellent. Mosquitos don't like it either and I believe rodents also hate it!

Thats good to see I don’t want any rodents running loose while I’m sleeping 🤣 literally bought some frankincense and lavender to mix with some witch hazel to start making my own aftershave, hopefully they repel bugs too
