😶‍🌫️Brain Fog: More Than Just Feeling Tired😶‍🌫️

Ever struggled with poor concentration, mental fatigue, or finding the right words? That “brain fog” isn’t an official medical diagnosis, but it is a very real constellation of symptoms that can impact daily life.

According to neurologist Dr. Lindsay McAlpine (Yale School of Medicine), brain fog can be linked to conditions like:
• Migraines, Parkinson’s, stroke, or dementia
• Long COVID, ME/CFS, or POTS
• Hormonal changes, autoimmune diseases, anxiety, or depression
• Sleep issues, high/low blood sugar, or even certain medications

💡 The good news? Lifestyle changes can help:
✅ 7–8 hours of quality sleep
✅ Hydrating + eating balanced meals
✅ Regular exercise (aerobic + resistance training)
✅ Managing stress and mental health

If brain fog is persistent or comes with chest pain, shortness of breath, or sudden confusion, it’s important to seek medical care.

✨ You don’t have to “push through” brain fog — understanding the cause is the first step to clearer thinking and better health.

October is almost here—which means Medicare Open Enrollment is right around the corner!

Did you know?
➡️ Open Enrollment runs October 15 – December 7
➡️ This is the time to review your current Medicare plan and make changes for 2026.
➡️ The choices you make now can impact your coverage for things like therapy services, medications, and wellness benefits for the whole year ahead.

At INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness, we often see how confusing Medicare options can feel—especially when it comes to outpatient therapy coverage. We encourage you (and your loved ones) to take a little time this fall to review your plan and make sure it’s the right fit for your health goals.

💡 Tip: Don’t wait until the last week—mark your calendar now so you have time to compare options and ask questions.

“I came to INSPIRE’s Groton studio frustrated and limited by constant shoulder pain. Kayaking is my happy place, but even lifting the paddle hurt. Dr. Chris Levesque took the time to really listen and assess what was going on. He created a clear, step-by-step plan—hands-on treatment, mobility work, and targeted strengthening I could manage between sessions. He tracked my progress, adjusted as needed, and celebrated the small wins with me.

Today, I’m paddling again—pain way down, confidence way up. Chris didn’t just treat my shoulder; he helped me get back to what I love.”

📣 Nanocarrier Breakthrough Offers Hope for Parkinson’s Treatment 🧠

Scientists at Oregon State University have engineered tiny nanocarriers capable of crossing the blood–brain barrier – a major challenge in Parkinson’s therapy. These smart delivery systems can transport therapeutics directly into the brain, offering the potential for more effective treatment with fewer side effects.

This innovation could change the landscape of how we treat Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions.

When my husband started the LSVT BIG program with the INSPIRE team, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but the difference has been nothing short of incredible. He’s moving more confidently, walking taller, and smiling more than he has in months. The Parkinson’s specialist he worked with not only helped him regain physical strength, but also restored his confidence.

Receiving this care in our home made all the difference—it was convenient, personalized, and gave him the consistency he needed to progress.

We’re now planning a trip to North Carolina to visit our children and grandkids—and he’s already talking about getting out on the boat! I can’t thank you enough for giving us this part of our life back.”
