Is brain fog a sign of dementia?

Usually not. Most brain fog has a treatable cause. Sudden or worsening memory loss should be evaluated promptly, and we refer when needed.

Is brain fog linked to menopause?

Yes. Many women notice it in perimenopause, and it often improves as hormones settle or are treated.

Thyroid, B12, iron, vitamin D, blood sugar and hormones are common starting points.

Are follow-up visits available by telehealth?

Telehealth is available to patients located in Arizona. Lab draws and some visits take place in the Gilbert office.

Brain fog in Gilbert, AZ

Losing words mid-sentence, rereading the same page, walking into a room and forgetting why. Brain fog is common, and often has a cause that can be found.

Understanding brain fog

Brain fog is a description, not a diagnosis. It can come from hormone changes, thyroid problems, low iron or B12, blood sugar swings, poor sleep and stress.

In women it is especially common in perimenopause and usually improves once the cause is addressed.

We start with labs and your history. New or rapidly worsening memory problems need prompt evaluation, and we refer when that is the case.
