Brain Fog Treatment at IHP Greenville. Dr. Hendry, DAOM — functional medicine, root-cause diagnostics, personalized care. Call (864) 365-6156.
Brain fog — the subjective experience of impaired cognitive function, difficulty concentrating, poor memory, mental fatigue, and a feeling of thinking through cotton wool — is not a diagnosis but a symptom complex with identifiable and treatable biological drivers. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry systematically investigates and treats the root causes of brain fog: inflammatory brain states, hormonal dysregulation (particularly thyroid), nutritional deficiencies (B12, D, iron, magnesium), gut-brain axis disruption, heavy metal toxicity, sleep disorders, and post-viral neurological effects.
How Brain Fog Treatment Works
Brain fog treatment begins with functional medicine investigation to identify the specific drivers. Common findings include: thyroid dysfunction (the most frequent cause of cognitive slowing), vitamin D and B12 deficiency, gut dysbiosis with elevated LPS and inflammatory cytokines reaching the brain via the gut-brain axis, HPA axis dysregulation (cortisol affects cognitive function profoundly), sleep apnea, and autoimmune neurological conditions. Acupuncture (scalp acupuncture for prefrontal cortex activation) and Chinese herbal medicine (formulas for Heart Shen disturbance and Brain marrow nourishment) complement the functional medicine protocol.
Conditions Treated with Brain Fog Treatment
Your First Appointment
Characterize your brain fog: when it's worst (morning, afternoon?), what makes it worse (meals? stress? poor sleep?), what cognitive functions are most affected (memory, word retrieval, concentration, processing speed), and when it started. History of head injury, viral illness, or sudden onset may indicate specific causes.
Why Dr. Hendry for Brain Fog Treatment
Dr. Hendry's research publications on neurogenesis (2013) and HRV biofeedback for neurological symptom management — combined with his functional medicine investigation skills — make him exceptionally qualified to assess and treat brain fog from multiple angles simultaneously.
