Three Tests for a Sharper Mind

#1 Chemicals

There are several issues that we assess for when looking at low mental acuity. The first is the presence of chemicals. Chemicals found in the nervous system are very common at this time and are causing many symptoms in people right now.

#2 Alpha & Beta Waves

The second issue that the clinic assesses for mental acuity is alpha and beta waves. The alpha waves produce slower thoughts or relaxation, while the beta waves produce faster thoughts and are associated with alertness and activity. Both are important. If one is low your acuity will suffer.

With low beta – high alpha the brain thinks very slowly and with the reverse the mind is very active, however you will miss things throughout the day. The clinic can assess what may be causing a low beta or alpha wave and then recommend a supplement to address the specific issue. Causes may be a chemical or nutritional deficiencies.

#3 Low Energy in the Brain

The third issue we check is the energy being produced in the brain. This can be from lack of nutrition or other issues. Our foods aren’t as nutritious as they used to be, so taking natural supplements can help with that. Chemicals can also lower the energy in the nervous system. This is very common right now and the clinic is seeing many people with brain fog, memory loss, and low acuity.

I have experienced all three of these issues at separate times – low beta waves, low alpha waves, and low energy in the brain. With low beta waves, your thinking moves slower than usual and can be obvious to you depending on how low the beta waves are. With low alpha waves, my experience is that I missed little things throughout the day that I do not normally forget or miss. Low energy in the brain can cause brain fog, mental exhaustion, and sometimes memory loss.
