Very nice video Sandy. You and I are close in age(I'm 56), and I can definitely relate to so much of what you said regarding brain fog, anxiety, and sleep. Reading your bible and praying were two, great suggestions, and two that I try to do every day.
My mental health is a mess since May with a severe UTI, ICU 5 days. Several more hospital stays and way to many drugs. Dr's gave me meds for mental health because at my age, 67, they said it affected my thinking. It's been a long road and I'm still struggling. Meds definitely make us feel awful and getting off of them also makes us feel awful through discontinue syndrome and withdrawls. Right now I'm almost off everything by tapering slowly. Dr doesn't even know I'm almost off. Still have a ways to go. Sleep deprivation is causing over 6 months of this continuing hell. Thank you Sandy, for sharing ❤ UTI'S and being older are serious with affecting your thinking and mental health. Before this happened to me I was healthy and strong and zero meds... not even cholesterol meds etc...
Boy, this one really resonated with me. My wellness practitioner just told me about cutting off all screens two hours before bedtime and even for the first hour or two in the morning. I’m making that change, hard as it is to break that habit, but you are right, it makes a huge difference! I sleep better and I’m praying it helps to reduce my stress-induced hypertension. Thanks for sharing what for me, is just affirmation that we REALLY need to reduce screen time!
Thank you for talking about your story. I had the same type of brain fog two years ago when I was 58. It finally just went away. I was pretty upset when it first started.
Hmmm... sometimes it is what we are eating that gives brain fog. Do you think sugar, or something your body is allergic to, like dairy, is causing the issue? It may be none of this. I am just thinking about you and how frustrating that is
So happy to see you! I just shredded more cheese to freeze with Arrowroot powder (no more sawdust for us 🤩)! I try to keep 5 pounds frozen and 1 pound in the fridge so Im not tempted to pick up the other. Thanks for all of your encouraging videos and educational food videos...more please 🙏 Have a very Merry Christmas ✝️
Oh no, I posted a long comment, but its not here 🤦. L -THEANINE 100 - 200 mg caps, promotes calm mood, very inexpensive, AND IT WORKS😊 HAPPY NEW YEAR SANDY, ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 🙋🏻♀️🙏
I can’t believe what a good doctor you found! I can’t take ashwaganda - some people can’t - it does not work for everyone. I do take L- Thealine And magnesium. Thank you for your transparency
How many people have been told..."you have to stay with it long enough for it to start working"???? My story mirrora yours! Zoloft made me suicidal....when i just started of with fatigue and anxiety. Ashwaganda is awesome. Also czech out schisandra adrenal complex. I love it.
I am 74 years old and was having horrible anxiety - felt like a weight on my chest all the time!!! My Dr. Recommended Lexipro (lowest dosage possible) and within a week I was experiencing terrible gastric pain/issues!! Dr. Thought it could not possibly be the meds, but changed me to a different one - also lowest dosage - same exact reaction, but so bad I thought I would need to go to the ER!! My body cannot tolerated these meds - I have not tried Ashwaganda, but honestly almost afraid to swallow any more pills at this point!!! My daily walks and quiet time do help! Thank you so much for sharing your story and making some great recommendations - especially prayer!!!
I'm so guilty of being on my phone. Thanks for this important message. Quieting our minds is so important and I need to be better about this. I also love reading and need to get back into it. Your scarf is so pretty on you btw! Merry Christmas Sandy!
Merry Christmas to you as well! I think there are many of us who are on our phones too much. It has become such a habit. But bad habits can be broken and good habits put in that place.
Great video! I just finished reading Proverbs….and even tho I have read it before, it all seemed new again and had different meaning for me. Merry Christmas!
You should be very thankful you couldn’t handle that anti anxiety drug. I was put on one 20 years ago for sleep and I’m still trying to come off it. It’s literally impossible to get off of and has destroyed my life
Awe. I am sorry to hear that, but does it help you sleep? Sleep is super important to get. Has your doctor ever tried to put you on a different anti anxiety to help wean yo off the one that is so hard to come off of?
I am also in my 50s and have experienced these symptoms. It's menopause or peri-menopause. Please consider reading The New Menopause by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, or The Great Menopause Myth by Johnson and Claps.
I think there are many menopausal symptoms that relate to what I was feeling. Except I made changes to calm my overstimulated brain, and this worked for me. I didn't need sex hormones at this time.
Sandy, i have been feeling the exact same way. Im 51, my thoughts have been so scattered. I've been messing up at work. I also take magnesium before bed and I have started reading, it has helped so much. I am also going to try the herbal supplement you mentioned. Thanks for sharing!
I hope some of these things work for you too! I had to calm my brain down. I constantly had music playing, tv, phone or something to fill the void of "quiet". Not anymore. The peaceful time I give myself everyday has changed my brain tremendously, along with the other things I have done.
My brain fog was getting bad also. I changed my diet completely. We need fat for our brain to function well. Glucose glycates the proteins. I eat so much more fat (and meat) and no sugar-- and bonus-- I've lost weight too. My brain now mostly runs on ketones, instead of glucose. I think everything we were ever taught about diet is backwards.
people make fun of me, but i downgraded from a smart phone to a basic flip phone (no internet). for several reasons... 1) get rid of the temptation to constantly check emails on my phone 2) flip phone easier to use in emergency (physical dial pad) 3) less exposure to harmful EMFs/radiation, since i don't have my phone with me all day.... now, i realize some people must have a smartphone (for their jobs, and mobile internet access). thankfully, mine doesn't require that... so it made it much easier to downgrade, and when at home, i use my landline phone (and the cell phone is turned off/put away). No tv at night either... i sleep very well, usually fall asleep within 15 minutes of hitting the pillow.
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm 58I am a mom of 5 children biological. My oldest son passed away 7 years ago. Pretty sure he was murdered by his girlfriend but we couldn't prove it, but I know what God showed me and I raised his 2 daughters, but I helped him raise 3 of them, and to the eldest one went to live with her mom. And I raised his twins from 12 years on there, now about to be 20 and my husband and I in 2022, we gots are great nice and in 2023, we got her sister thing, the first one we got at 3 months, the second 1. We got it 2 days. We have since adopted them. And we're raising them, I've asked, God, you sure have a sense of humor I've been raising kids since I was 11, because I helped my mom raise my brother's cuz. She worked all the time and my dad did too. I told God I said, well, you give me these 2 babies keep me healthy. I have started taking the magnesium. That you take the one that you recommended. I just ordered my second bag. And I am one of those people that have a very hard time sleeping at night. And it's just because I feel as if I have so much going on in my life that I never get a break. But listen to you made me really realize a lot of things. So thank you so much for sharing this. Be the year. No, may God bless you, abandongly.
Awe. Thank you for sharing this with me. You have a lot on your shoulders right now. You are giving these kids a life in a good home. That is a gift you're giving them. Who knows how things would have turned out if they were left with the biological parent. God must have known they needed you. I will pray for you.
you should also research magnesium bicarbonate... it's the best absorbable form of magnesium. You can make it at home (for pennies), but it requires a soda maker.... i can't live without it.... it helped my foggy brain there's videos on YT about how to make the magnesium bicarbonate (real easy)
@@JTWaters68 of the man made supplements (powders) yes, glycinate absorbs best. But the earth's most natural source of magnesium (from centuries ago) was ground water (mag bicarbonate), originating from carbonate rocks and atmospheric carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, due to industrialization, fertilizers/agricultural runoff, most of this natural source is destroyed. Today, making magnesium bicarbonate is the closest thing to mimicking nature. It can be made (at home) for pennies, from a chemical reaction of carbonic acid (such as seltzer water/soda maker) and magnesium hydroxide (powder). The result is a highly absorbable, bioavailable water, that is concentrated with magnesium that you can easily drink. as normal water. No difference.
I am sorry to say this but in my opinion it is a very poor video... zero results feedback on the difference implementing these six ways to restore cognitive functioning has benefited her...😢. I was a subscriber but have unsubscribed. Will reduce my screentime by non listening to videos with zero outcome feedback 😢
Very nice video Sandy. You and I are close in age(I'm 56), and I can definitely relate to so much of what you said regarding brain fog, anxiety, and sleep. Reading your bible and praying were two, great suggestions, and two that I try to do every day.
Barbara O'Neill has an amazing wealth of healthful and spiritual knowledge. She also says that to be asleep by 9:00 is the best restorative sleep.
I have learned a lot from Barbara!

I love the idea of Proverbs in January - thanks 🙏
We should do it together. I will read a chapter each day and you should too. We know it will make both of us better.

I always catch your videos...this one I really needed! Im experiencing all of this...
I hope some of these things help you too!
Thank you for a Great video 🥰 I really needed this video! Very Grateful for you 😊
Thank you for talking about your story. I had the same type of brain fog two years ago when I was 58. It finally just went away. I was pretty upset when it first started.
how great for you that it just went away. I was starting to worry about myself!
2:15 I’ve been that way my entire life. I struggle to retrieve simple words.
Hmmm... sometimes it is what we are eating that gives brain fog. Do you think sugar, or something your body is allergic to, like dairy, is causing the issue? It may be none of this. I am just thinking about you and how frustrating that is

One of your best videos Sandy. I do look forward to them and learn so much. Thank you for all you do! Merry Christmas!

Oh honey...try it. Also get a bottle of schisandra adrenal complex. Pharmaceuticals made me fall apart.
@ I will give it a try!! Do you take it every day/night??? At bed time or morning?
I'm so guilty of being on my phone. Thanks for this important message. Quieting our minds is so important and I need to be better about this. I also love reading and need to get back into it.
Your scarf is so pretty on you btw! Merry Christmas Sandy!
Merry Christmas to you as well! I think there are many of us who are on our phones too much. It has become such a habit. But bad habits can be broken and good habits put in that place.
I’m thankful for you Sandy thanks for the ideas I needed to hear this .
You're welcome. I am glad it was helpful. :)
Thank you Sandy, I really needed to hear this today and I am going to make these changes too. Starting tonight.
Giving our brains a mental rest is SO important. We are an overstimulated society
Would you be willing to share some of the books you read?
Sure! I love to read. Although historical fiction isn't everyone's genre. What kind of books do you prefer?
Great video! I just finished reading Proverbs….and even tho I have read it before, it all seemed new again and had different meaning for me. Merry Christmas!
I am eager to read it again in January. There is always something new to learn or it speaks to us in a different way when we read our Bibles.
I can relate to all of this 100%...Thank you for the great tips! I appreciate you and your channel 😊
Thank you for saying this. :)
Thanks for this video as usual. I don't use Amazon and have been unsure where to get one without a lot of additives. You are the bes❤t❤❤
Thank you! You could check out the website igennus. I really like their supplements. But I know there are other good companies on the market.
You should be very thankful you couldn’t handle that anti anxiety drug. I was put on one 20 years ago for sleep and I’m still trying to come off it. It’s literally impossible to get off of and has destroyed my life
Would you be willing to share the name of it?
@ Klonapin
Awe. I am sorry to hear that, but does it help you sleep? Sleep is super important to get. Has your doctor ever tried to put you on a different anti anxiety to help wean yo off the one that is so hard to come off of?
That’s good advice Sandy, thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and let me know it was helpful. :)
Thank you Sandy and I hope you have a Merry Christmas 🙂
You have a Merry Christmas as well! We are expecting rain, instead of snow. But our home will be full of family and food, so it will be a great time!

Good video 🎉 happy holidays 😊
You have a great holiday as well! Christmas has always been my favorite.
people make fun of me, but i downgraded from a smart phone to a basic flip phone (no internet).
for several reasons... 1) get rid of the temptation to constantly check emails on my phone
2) flip phone easier to use in emergency (physical dial pad) 3) less exposure to harmful EMFs/radiation, since
i don't have my phone with me all day....
now, i realize some people must have a smartphone (for their jobs, and mobile internet access).

No tv at night either... i sleep very well, usually fall asleep within 15 minutes of hitting the pillow.
Let others make fun...you're the one with peace in your life and sleeping well.
Very relatable, thank you. Also your skin looks amazing at 53, any tips?
Thank you! I love using oil on my face. I use lotion sometimes, but mostly oils daily.
Could you link the Bible you are enjoying please??? There are so many devotional Bibles out there!! Thanks so much!!

Have you read something by Spaniard Vicente Mera? I was told about him just today.
I have never heard of him.
Oh, I forgot the most important, move it to position number 1: read your Bible and renew your mind!!!!😊
