- Neuroinflammatory brain fog worsens after infections, correlates with inflammatory flares, and often improves temporarily with anti-inflammatory interventions (curcumin, omega-3s, low-histamine diets). Mitochondrial brain fog worsens with sustained mental exertion, improves after rest, and responds to CoQ10 or creatine supplementation. Blood work showing elevated CRP, homocysteine, or ferritin suggests inflammation; low CoQ10 or elevated lactate suggests mitochondrial impairment. The distinction determines whether you start with Thymalin or MK 677.
