Mental Clarity

Do you find you’re having difficulty finishing thoughts? Are you searching your brain for answers that once came quickly? Do you have trouble focusing during activities like meditation and yoga? You’re probably struggling with mental clarity.

Most people let their busy lives take control of their mental space. It creates a lot of distraction, pulling them away from what they want out of life. On top of this, negative news cycles and social media make us depressed, scared, or upset; our habits, diet, and exercise routines can all take hits from these overwhelming emotions, creating a feedback loop that makes mental clarity worse. 

How Can FirstLine Therapy Help With Mental Clarity?

Sitting down with a FirstLine Therapy-trained lifestyle educator can help identify the potential causes of poor mental clarity. The personalized lifestyle medicine will look at your diet, exercise, and daily routines to determine solutions that work for your individual needs!

Diet is a necessary part of renewed mental clarity. As Melissa Blake, BSc, ND notes for Metagenics, the gut sends signals to the brain via nerve connections, hormones, and neurotransmitters (among others). It’s called the “gut-brain axis,” and it plays a huge role in mental health. “Both directly and indirectly, the health of the GI tract plays an essential role in the health of the brain,” she writes. The modified Mediterranean diet recommended through FirstLine Therapy will help renew your body’s microbiota and help strengthen the connections of the gut-brain axis.
