What Causes Brain Fog and Fatigue? A Dietitian's Own Search for Answers

Angela Jenkins spent decades as a dietitian helping other people eat better. Then her own body stopped cooperating. She had brain fog that came and went, fatigue she couldn't explain, and skin problems that didn't respond to the usual fixes. Her search for answers took her well outside the conventional approach she was trained in, and it changed how she works with clients today. In this episode, Angela tells that story and explains what it taught her about looking for root causes instead of treating symptoms one at a time. We talk about the environments we live in, including the mold she found in her own home. We also talk about why planning, not willpower, is what keeps people away from the drive-through. Angela, author of Destination Real Food, explains how eating locally is possible even in winter. She also talks about the emotional side of healing, which often gets overlooked. Stress and old patterns sit in the body alongside everything else, and Angela has seen clients release far more than they expected once they started addressing them. You'll also hear how to work with Angela, including how to book a discovery call and where to find her book. Show Notes: Book a Discovery Call https://www.healthislocal.com/cellula...
