  Brain fog got so bad in menopause I genuinely worried I was developing early cognitive decline 😩 I couldn’t remember names, lost my train of thought, and felt exhausted all day. Memory supplements didn&apos;t help. Then found the Hormonal Reset Protocol by (Emma Wells) mentioned in a group. Fixing my gut and hormones cleared my mind completely, dropped 28 lbs, and brought my sharp focus back. Worth checking for sure.

  It&apos;s my greatest fear. I would rather not be here if I cant think. I&apos;m a double amputee and I still am totally independent. That&apos;s how much it means to me.

  Forgetting where you put your keys is acceptable. Not knowing what the keys are used for is the problem.

  My grandfather died of Alzheimer&apos;s. &nbsp;I&apos;m not entirely sure how old he was, maybe early 80&apos;s. &nbsp;My mom is now suffering from it quite badly at 75. &nbsp;It scares the shit out of me. I don&apos;t know if my grandfather had siblings, but my mom&apos;s 3 siblings do not suffer from it, so maybe it&apos;s not a foregone conclusion for me. &nbsp;I try to eat well, sleep, exercise.. I&apos;m usually not stressed, and I love reading in my spare time. &nbsp;My mom was socially isolated and just rotted in front of a TV for years. &nbsp;She had no hobbies or friend groups. &nbsp;I think the loneliness is what got her.

  According to breathwork experts, the meditation at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP_bGrHLFtQ&amp;t=905">15:05</a> is: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 2 seconds, and exhale for 6 seconds. That extended exhale not only relaxes you, but it also increases heart coherence with the field.

  I have severe PTSD, and beyond SSRIs, SNRIs and the same, tired therapy loops, there&apos;s just not a lot out there. PTSD is about stress response (it&apos;s in the name) and chronic stress means inflammation, which means the systems that do the mopping up take a huge hit, including glial cells. So now what supports glial cells and their functioning? Thankfully, the same exact things that give us a healthy lifestyle: sleep, diet, exercise and stress management, and for the brain, constant learning. Clearly, sleep and intentional dietary choices need to be more frequent and amped up, but it&apos;s the same framework. Thank you for this. You provide a lot of jumping off points for creating an even more nuanced approach to fighting my PTSD.

  Chronic stress from social media. It continually triggers emotions, not much thinking going on.
