are just drinking too much and the rest and the rest of that are on the opposite side of the equation right so they're drinking insufficient amounts of water or they're having things that look like dehydration that are this is going to sound funny but they're actually we'll call them anxiety related there's a very clear relationship between hyperventilation and this is resting hyperventilation so if you're sitting there and you don't realize it but your respiratory rate is actually like

I'm exaggerating, but you're making a point, right? Yes, yes, yes. That can actually put you in a position of where you're actually getting rid of too much carbon dioxide because you're breathing in oxygen, breathing out carbon dioxide. You're getting carbon dioxide concentrations too low in your system. This is going to put you into what's called respiratory alkalosis, okay?

Respiratory alkalosis is oftentimes then matched with metabolic acidosis. So that entire set of equation tries to balance the pH in your system. One of the mechanisms that has to do that is to then start altering how your kidneys resorb and reabsorb electrolytes, salts and things like that, which then alters hydration.

So some of the times this comes back to us going, and again, I'm using anxiety like very inappropriately here, but roughly of saying, oh, okay. This is a hydration issue, but that's not because you're not drinking enough water or having enough salt or whatever the case is. This is the fact that your system is continually trying to dump fluids.

That's the problem we have to come backwards and solve. So we can cover the symptom, give you more salt or... reduce water, something like that. But really, we got to work all the way back to the beginning and say, like, let's stop this problem from reoccurring. That happens really commonly. We see that a bunch in that, you know, 10% sort of people.

Yeah, I mean, we get this one a lot. So it's funny. I would say brain fog people, I don't know. Again, I'm making a number up, but it feels to me like 90% of the time they think something unique and special is going on. Some micronutrient is out of whack. They've got some sort of toxic thing floating around. They got a pathogen or gut bacteria thing. And those happen. We see those.

And that's a real thing. Mostly, it's the basics. And I really, truly mean that. We have a very high success rate at Arte with brain fog. Really high success rate. And often, the majority of the time, it is the, okay, for you, it might be your sleep is completely dysfunctional. Boom. Maybe you don't realize your sleep is dysfunctional. gone, brain fog gone. Like that's it, right?

Maybe it has nothing to do with your sleep. Your sleep is okay. Maybe it's not great, but it's okay. And your nutrition is really mixed with your physiology. Great. Sometimes it is gut microbiome related. Sometimes we do see heavy metal toxins at high concentrations. Like those things are real. I would say if you don't have access to a program like ours or advanced testing, if you do the basics,

Really get your stress management under control. Quality water, like really all that stuff. And I'm really trying to emphasize that because that's mostly free stuff. You don't need to turn to coaching. You don't need to turn to a stool sample. You don't need to turn to a blood test. You don't need to buy supplements yet. Get your house in order with movement, sunlight, quality food.

A large percentage of your brain fog is probably going to go away. if you've tried that and haven't had success, maybe you can take additional steps, but really we've had, we joke sometimes that like, we've had a lot of people spend a lot of money and we're like,
