Description

Have you ever walked into a room and completely forgotten why you're there? Or maybe you've stared at your phone, trying to remember what you were about to do. I know I have, especially in the thick of motherhood. I remember one morning when I was packing lunches, signing probably some school papers and trying to get out for the day. I opened the fridge, I stood there and thought, wait, what was I even looking for?

That foggy, scattered feeling. That's what we're talking about today. For me, brain fog felt like just another part of mom life. But when I started connecting the dots between nutrition, brain health, and even my own family history of Alzheimer's and started looking more into how I could support my brain, I started realizing what we eat doesn't just fuel our bodies, it shapes our memory, our focus, and how sharp we feel from day to day.

And well, leafy greens, they're one of the most powerful brain foods we have. Today, we're going to talk about important nutrients in leafy greens, the science behind cognitive health and diet, and how you can actually apply this to your life this week or even today.
