CORECONCEPTS

Core Concept No.1:The Fog and its Source

The number of people that experience chronicmood and cognitive problems grows yearly, and call the symptomsDepression, ADHD or brain fog. They often feel a sense offrustration, anxiousness, and misery.

It does not affect only ones emotional ormental wellbeing, but ones physiology as well.

Hormones affect our mood and our thinking,and the following three are to be noted:

Serotonin

Serotonin causes optimism, confidence and asense of calm

When low, anxiety, sleep problems anddepression are noted, among others. Antidepressants, whilecounteracting the low feelings, also serve to make one more proneto brain fog, dependence, and a reduction in both ones sexualdesire as well as sexual function.

We forget to be because we are too busy withdoing.

We should rely on natural means instead ofmedication to gain victory over problems. Changes need to be madewith regard to our lifestyle, diet and sleep, as these smallchanges will aid in finding a balance essential for life.
