Every night your brain shrinks its astroglial cells by 60% and pressure washes itself clean.
But only if your autonomic nervous system decides it's safe enough to let that happen.
So if you're waking up foggy after eight hours in bed, your brain didn't forget how to clean itself.
It did exactly what a nervous system running elevated norepinephrine all night told it to do.
And that's actually an input we can change.
That's the framing, Jodi.
And it takes us into our first comparative reframe here, functional medicine versus home hope salutogenesis.
So functional medicine comes at neuroinflammation or brain fog through pathogenesis.
They ask, what disease is present, what toxin is present, and what supplement suppresses it?
Now, that isn't necessarily the wrong question here, and I ask it too, but in Home Hope, we shift that paradigm entirely to salutogenesis, asking what physiological conditions create and sustain cellular health and natural glymphatic flow at the network level.
And Dr. Scott's right about this.
And that's the patient we're talking about.
It's like they're eight hours logged.
They're still exhausted.
They're foggy.
And what they're not thinking about is that their glymphatic clearance here is depending on this perivascular fluid movement that's driven by the arterial pulsations and these aquaporin-4 channels on the astroglial end feet.
I didn't know that astroglial had feet, let alone end feet here.
But...
But when that sympathetic tone stays high, the aquaporin channels, they depolarize away from those vascular end feet and the interstitial flushing stops.
Yeah.
