Hi everyone! This is Kelly - your Nutrition Coach and Brain Health Professional on a mission to teach you how to get a better brain!Do you experience brain fog or neurofatigue? Do your symptoms ever make you feel isolated or frustrated because others simply don't understand? Perhaps you don't understand what is happening yourself.In this podcast, we dive into the topic of neurofatigue, including what it is, what it feels like, the causes of neurofatigue, and most importantly, what you can do about it!Neurofatigue is often called brain fog or mental fatigue. Most cases of neurofatigue result from a TBI - including concussions, blows to the head, or strokes. Other causes include chronic Lyme disease, chronic migraines, malnourishment, and even hormonal imbalances or PCOS.But how do you know if neurofatigue is affecting you?Well, neurofatigue is also called cognitive fatigue or brain fog because it includes pronounced mental fatigue after any form of mental activity. This "mental activity" can include almost anything, from writing to doing paperwork, shopping in a big box store, watching a movie, or simply engaging in conversation. People often describe neurofatigue as the feeling of being completely exhausted or depleted. They have no brain power or energy to focus, remember information, learn anything new, or perform daily activities. Concentration and focus can become so difficult after bursts of mental activity that even simple daily tasks can be debilitating. Be sure to watch the entire video to learn more. You can also discover more information on the topic and our recent article on HappiHuman.com: THIS WEEK'S BLOGOther related blogs you may be interested in:7 Neurofatigue Coping Strategies to Take Back Your LifeHow to Banish Brain FogTen Foods That Cause Brain FogMild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Silent Epidemic  Head Injury 101: Common Types of TBI and How to Spot Worrying SymptomsConcussion Protocol: 10 Things to do When You Have a Concussion: Brain Injury Awareness: The Consequences of TBI As promised, here's the link to my Brain Healthy Recipes e-BookNeurofatigue is real, and you can do something about it!

Hi everyone! This is Kelly, your Nutrition Coach and Brain Health Professional on a mission to teach you how to get a better brain!Today's podcast is all about self-care, why its important and how engaging in self-care can improve one's mental health. As a bonus, I introduce you to HeartMath, one of the best forms of self-care in which you can engage!What is HeartMath?HeartMath is a scientifically-proven, evidence-based approach of tapping into the power of your heart to improve your mental conditioning. It allows you to take a moment, decompress, refocus, become revitalized, and switch into a parasympathetic nervous system state, and it's much easier than you might think.By using our heart's natural rhythms and heart rate variability, we can bring all other bodily organs and systems into alignment - a state called coherence. When we are in this coherent state, we actually have the ability to change or restructure our nervous system and create positive mood states.This allows us to: - Better manage stress - Improve our personal resilience  - Restore balance  - Reduce anxiety and depression   - Promote positive mood states - Improve sleep, and  - Help us feel better overall Listen to this week's podcast to learn more about how the power of HeartMath can help you.

This is Kelly - your Nutrition Coach and Brain Health Professional on a mission to teach you how to get a better brain!https://linktr.ee/kellyaielloToday's video is all about sugar!Ok, so maybe not the kind of sugar you originally thought about - but sugars in your blood. Why should you pay attention to your blood sugar levels? If you have diabetes, are worried about getting it in the future, are battling cancer, or want to stave off dementia, then blood sugar levels should be of great concern to you - and you probably already know this. But what you may not realize is that you should also pay attention to your blood glucose levels if you are interested in optimizing your cognitive function! How are blood sugar levels and your brain health connected? Well, let's start with some of the most common complaints many of my clients have: poor sleep, zoning out, and irritability. These are all signs of neurofatigue.If you have these same struggles or can't seem to wake up, I'm sure you've done everything you can think of to battle your exhaustion but it doesn't seem to go away. If this sounds like you, I have one question for you… Have you checked your blood sugar levels lately?There are many benefits of having and maintaining balanced blood sugar levels. The one that likely pops to mind, as previously mentioned, is to prevent diabetes. However, there are many other, less obvious benefits.Better focus, improved mood, enhanced sleep, and increased energy are among the benefits of balanced blood sugar levels. So if you'd like to optimize your brain health and regain energy, start here!
