In this episode of the Vibrant Wellness Podcast, Dr. Eboni Cornish explores the root causes behind neuroinflammation, brain fog, anxiety, ADHD-like symptoms, and cognitive decline. She explains how toxins, chronic infections, immune dysregulation, hormonal imbalance, and modern lifestyle stressors can all contribute to inflammation in the brain, and why proactive brain health matters long before serious neurological disease develops.
Dr. Cornish breaks down the connection between leaky gut and “leaky brain,” the role of the vagus nerve in nervous system regulation, and how chronic stress, overstimulation, and dopamine-driven behaviors may be impacting focus and mental health. She also shares practical tools for supporting brain function through personalized nutrition, omega-3s, sauna therapy, supplementation, exercise, and functional testing like the Neural Zoomer and advanced brain imaging.
Where to start: Focus on the foundations first. Prioritize sleep, stress regulation, gut health, movement, nutrient support, and reducing toxic burden before chasing advanced protocols or quick fixes. Small, sustainable changes done consistently can have the biggest impact on long-term brain health and resilience.
