Lost in a haze of brain fog?
Even in short bouts, brain fog can have a massive
impact on your life, work and relationships.
Do these 6 THINGS right now to help address muddled thinking, poor information retention and speech issues that can accompany brain fog.
Written by Qualia Life Sciences Staff, May 2024
If you’re struggling with bouts of brain fog, you probably already know: it’s not something you just “get”. Meaning, you can’t just take a brain fog pill and feel clear again.
Brain fog is a complex combination of cognitive functions. Often related to lifestyle factors like stress, sleep, nutrition, screen time and physical inactivity.
It’s best understood by how it makes you feel:
🧠 your mind going blank and fuzzy
🧠 spacing out and unable to control it
🧠 inability to concentrate on what you need to do
🧠 your energy moving up and down drastically
🧠 struggling to focus, even when you really need to
These feelings – even when occasional – create disruptive consequences, like:
➡ ️ Weak performance at work, especially when you have to think on your feet. Making you look like you don’t know what you’re doing (even though you do)
➡ Overwhelm of everything piling up, like you can’t get ahead, let alone have space to breathe
➡ Scrolling social compulsively, while you have more and more emails to reply to and a dozen things on your to-do list
➡ Snapping at loved ones who are getting frustrated with you. While you’re just frustrated with yourself.
THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS: when you’re stuck in a haze of brain fog — whether it lasts a day, or days, or longer — you lose motivation to do the things that help alleviate your brain fog.
Like exercise and eating well.
So your stress levels go up.
Your sleep quality and quantity goes down.
And your brain fog stays longer than you want it to.
HARD TRUTH: if you’re constantly stressed, sleeping horribly, totally inactive, eating poorly and scrolling constantly, fix these 5 things first.
THE COLD, HARD TRUTH: there’s no Easy Way Out from spells of brain fog.
Especially when pulling yourself off the couch feels like way too much right now. And anything more than that feels exhausting.
To battle spells of brain fog and win, you must create the cognitive conditions that actually let other solutions work.
Do these 5 things at least half of your time, and you’ll be ready for #6.
# 1. Reduce (or at least better manage) your stress.
How: Practicing mindfulness or yoga and getting outside can help drastically keep stress down if eliminating it isn’t an option.
Why: Chronic stress can change the chemical makeup of your brain and keep your nervous system in fight-or-flight. While negatively impacting sleep, diet and digital habits. 1,2
# 2. Practice better sleep hygiene.
How: Aim for the same bedtime every night. Stop looking at screens at least 30 minutes to 2 hours before bed.
Why: Poor sleep length and quality can massively impair cognitive function. Sleep is regenerative, impacting metabolism, energy, memory and mood. 3,4
# 3. Watch what you eat.
How: A diet with more protein and known brain-boosters like walnuts, avocado and leafy greens can help deliver nutrients your brain needs to stay clear and focused.
Why: The right nutrients help create the cognitive conditions needed to nurture key pathways and promote optimal neurotransmitter and pre-cortex function. 5
# 4. Put strict boundaries around your screen time.
How: Keep your phone out of reach to prevent mindless scrolling. Experiment with deleting apps you use too often or set time limits on them. Implement digital downtime so you don’t look at your phone 30 minutes to 2 hours before bed.
Why: Excessive screen time exposes you to electromagnetic radiation and blue light, linked to bad sleep and poor cognitive function. Cognitive overload from too much information leads to a fatigued and unfocused brain. 6,7,8,9
# 5. Stay active.
How: Even if you’re busy, make a short, brisk mid-day walk or calisthenics break non-negotiable.
Why: Physical activity helps maintain cerebral blood flow and healthy metabolism. Which are key to maintaining healthy, clear brain function. 10
If you’re doing these 5 things most of the time and your brain keeps going back to foggy, you’re ready for #6.
#6. Nootropics: Because complex problems require complex solutions.
Nootropics are brain-boosting substances that work best in healthy individuals. 11
Meaning, those who eat well, sleep well, manage stress and stay mindful of screen time see the best results.
Caffeine is the most widely-known nootropic. Unfortunately, it can make brain fog worse. Used improperly and on its own, caffeine can give you the jitters and energetic peaks and valleys, negatively impacting sleep.
An effective nootropic solution to brain fog needs work simultaneously on multiple fronts.
Because even though nootropics CAN’T replace a healthy lifestyle…
And they CAN’T work like a band aid…
They CAN’T stand-in for exercise or poor stress management or not sleeping well…
The right nootropic blend CAN
make a massive difference for healthy people.
And with over 100 identified nootropic substances, brain scientists are now uncovering how they can help improve brain fog.
Qualia Mind is not a brain fog pill (that doesn’t exist). But it could be the next-best thing.
Qualia Mind is not a brain fog pill (that doesn’t exist). But it could be the next-best thing.
Qualia Mind was born from a lengthy fight against brain fog. Qualia Life Science’s co-founder was frustrated because he was doing all the right things but finding little relief.
Knowing enough about nootropics and the nature of brain fog, he got to work to solve his own problem.
Qualia Mind is the result of 1000s of hours of research and development by top scientists in complex-systems modeling, neurobiology, organic chemistry, and dozens of MDs and PhDs.
Our “2.0” formula, updated for 2024, offers even more support for motivation, memory, energy, and neuroplasticity.*
Today, Qualia Mind is one of the most trusted supplements in the United States. With 10s of 1000s of happy, relieved customers.
Like David Benjamin, who’s now way more productive:
“I took this product, skeptical at first but I found it to help out a lot. My memory has improved, my focus has improved and I feel more productive on this.”
Crysee, who’s feeling smarter:
“After only a few days I already feel “better”, I can’t explain it but I feel amazing mentally. I’m focused, I feel more intelligent and capable. I hope this lasts forever!”
And Dajour, who is so, so relieved:
“It helps me be able to focus better, by getting rid of my brain fog. I’m so happy I have it. Works best when you are taking care of your body too, exercise and eat right!!!”
Qualia Mind supports your fight against brain fog across several major neurological systems.
Qualia Mind contains a complex mixture of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, choline donors, and herbal ingredients chosen with the goal of supporting cognitive function through distinctly beneficial mechanisms.*12
All 32 ingredients in this leading nootropic blend were selected for both their individual and combined benefits, working together to help support the cognitive conditions known to fight brain fog.*
Helping with:
Stress management
Lion’s Mane Mushroom 13 can help your brain positively respond to stress, keeping you focused and alert in high-pressure situations.
The adaptogen also nurtures alert attention by promoting healthy BDNF function14, which can get blocked by chronic stress. (BDNF is a critical brain protein that helps produce new neurons and promotes healthy moods).*
Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) 15 and Vitamin C 16 can help enhance focus and attention, even in demanding situations, by helping to protect your brain cells from stress-caused damage.*
Good sleep hygiene
Sipping your oat latte alongside L-Theanine 17 and L-Tyrosine 18 helps stretch out the focused alertness of caffeine without the effects that lead to poor sleep hygiene, jitters or afternoon slump.*
Meanwhile, Celastrus paniculatus19 (the “intellect tree,”), Bacopa monnieri 20 and Alpha-GPC 21 work together to support neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is responsible for attention and arousal. So you feel clean, awake energy and can tuck into bed at night.*
Nutrition optimization
Qualia Mind’s 32 ingredients — including powerful nootropics and critically-supportive vitamins, adaptogens, amino acids, antioxidants, herbal tonics and lipids — help ensure your brain gets the cognitive-supporting nutrition it needs to clear the feelings associated with brain fog.*
For example, amino acids acetyl-L-Carnitine and Taurine help your body make energy.* 22
And B Vitamins including B1 (Thiamine), B3 (Niacinamide), B5 (Calcium pantothenate), B6 (Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate) and B12 (Methylcobalamin) are all essential for creating energy.* 23
Digital distraction support
Nootropics Guarana Seed Extract 24 and N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine 25 can help uphold dopamine, which helps stay enthused toward the task you’re focused on, rather than relying on a digital distraction for a cheap spike of dopamine.*
Nootropics Alpha-GPC 26, PQQ 27 and Cognizin® Citicoline 28 can help enhance focus by supporting optimal function of the prefrontal cortex: a neurological hub of focus and attention.*
Physical activity support
Ginkgo biloba 29 can help promote healthy blood flow to the brain similarly to exercise. The nootropic can also support energy-producing Coffeeberry®30 in promoting attention and alertness.*
Get maximum benefit from Qualia Mind without using it every day.
We recommend taking Qualia Mind just 5 days per week.
Because it’s not just a band aid solution. Or a tool similar to coffee that hooks you into dependency…
The nootropic blend in Qualia Mind can actually help support your battle against brain fog by supporting your brain’s own pathways and neural processes.*
- Promoting BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor)*
- Supporting Neuron & Synaptic Function*
- Supporting Prefrontal Cortex Activity*
- Supporting Neurotransmitter Signaling*
- Promoting Stress Resilience*
Right now: get your first
2 bottles of Qualia Mind for the price of 1.
Yes, you can source individual nootropics. Or go for blends with just 3 or 4 ingredients, which are normally about 75% less effective. (You’ll definitely want to avoid brands that state “proprietary blend” instead of listing what’s in the bottle.)
With Qualia Mind, all 32 ingredients are carefully selected so that interactions between all ingredients are taken into account and harmonized to work together.*
Yes, this rigorous scientific formulation does show up on the price-tag. And, Qualia Mind’s stunning impact shows up in thousands of 5-star reviews, like:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The product can take a toll on your wallet, but if you can make up the money again efficiently and productively & like to consider implicit costs. I recommend it.”
Juan Diego Ureno, United States
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I’ve been trying different nootropics but this by far has been an excellent formula. It is pricey but if you buy some of the individual ingredients, you’ll spend a lot more. Great clarity of mind (removes brain fog), excellent focus on tasks including those I don’t enjoy. At the end of the day, I’m tired from all my productivity and get a goodnight sleep.”
