Brain Fog Isn’t “Just Aging”—It’s Inflammation. Let’s Clear It.
Have you been:
- Walking into rooms with zero clue why you're there?
- Mixing up dates or forgetting simple things?
- Feeling like your brain is stuck in molasses some days?
That’s not just aging.That’s inflammation in perimenopause—and it’s not permanent. We can reverse it.
Inside UNSTUCK, we treat food as medicine to address the big four root causes of midlife symptoms:
✨ Gut health✨ Inflammation✨ Insulin resistance✨ Cortisol dysregulation
These systems are deeply connected to your mood, focus, memory, energy, and weight. When inflammation is high, your brain and body stay stuck in survival mode.When you calm inflammation, the fog begins to lift. 🌤️
So What Do We Do Instead?
We focus on nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods that help your body rebalance from the inside out.
We follow the 30/30/30 Method, and here’s how that looks in action 👇
1. 🌿 Choose Anti-Inflammatory Foods
Chronic inflammation drives brain fog, bloating, stubborn weight, and hormonal chaos.Start crowding your plate with:
- Leafy greens
- Berries
- Salmon
- Olive oil
- Turmeric
- Flaxseed
- Sweet potatoes
- green tea
✨ If it grew out of the ground or had a mother, it probably belongs on your plate.
2. 🍳 Prioritize Protein at Every Meal
Protein helps stabilize your blood sugar, reduce cravings, preserve muscle, and keep you full.
🎯 Goal: 30g of protein per meal
Not sure how to measure? Use your palm! A 30g portion of a high protein food source is roughly the size and thickness of your palm.
3. 🌾 Add Fiber-Rich Foods Daily
Fiber = your gut health and hormone helper. It helps move things through, balance estrogen, and feed good gut bacteria.
🎯 Goal: 30g of fiber per dayTry: chia seeds, lentils, oats, leafy greens, berries, broccoli, flax, quinoa or even psyllium husks can help boost fiber
4. 💧 Hydrate Like It’s Your Job
Hormonal shifts can mess with hydration levels, even when you think you’re drinking enough.
🎯 Aim for 2–3L/day, more if you’re exercising.Add lemon, lime, cucumber, berries, or mint for flavor.A pinch of sea salt or clean electrolytes helps too.
If bathroom breaks aren't a bit of a chore, you're probably not drinking enough. 😉
This Isn’t About Perfect Meals
It’s about simple, doable shifts that send your body a clear signal:
👉 “You’re safe. You can heal now.”
Think:
- Add more in instead of cutting everything out.
- Stay consistent—not perfect.
- Know that brain fog is not forever. You're not broken—you’re just in transition. And when you give your body what it needs, it responds beautifully.
