That 11 AM fog? Not age.
It’s breakfast—and you’ll feel the difference in 3 days.
Hi there,
Ever walk into a room and completely forget why?
Stand at the fridge like you're waiting for it to talk?
Read the same sentence four times?
That 11 AM brain fog isn't age.
It's breakfast.
And I can prove it to you in three days.
Here's what's happening:
Your brain needs protein to make focus chemicals (dopamine, norepinephrine).
After 50, it needs more - but most women eat way less.
Toast? Oatmeal? Fruit and coffee?
That's basically sugar without the protein your brain is begging for.
By 11 AM, you're foggy, unfocused, and looking for snacks.
The fix is simple - and it works.
20g protein + 10g fiber + 10g fat.
That's it.
What 20g protein looks like:
3 eggs = 18g
200g Greek yogurt = 18–20g
200g cottage cheese = 22–24g
Pick one for tomorrow:
Yogurt Bowl
200g Greek yogurt
½ cup berries + 1 tbsp chia seeds
10–12 walnuts
Egg Plate
3 scrambled eggs with spinach
½ avocado
1 slice high-fiber bread
Cottage Bowl
200g cottage cheese
½ cup berries + 1 tbsp flax seeds
Small handful of almonds
Coffee drinkers: Wait until after you eat. (Coffee on an empty stomach spikes cortisol - that's the jittery feeling.)
Try one of these breakfasts for the next 3 days.
Then check in with yourself at 11 AM each day:
How's your focus? (1–5)
Are you hunting for snacks?
Most women notice the fog lifting by day 3.
What comes back:
✅A brain that actually works when you need it.
✅No more walking into rooms like a confused tourist.
✅Energy that lasts past lunch.
One thing I didn't mention:
A few readers asked what else I do for focus besides breakfast.
Honestly? I take Mind Lab Pro most mornings.
It's a blend of nutrients that support brain health—nothing that makes you feel wired.
After a couple weeks, I noticed my brain doesn't "tire out" as fast.
Hard to explain, but it's like having a longer runway before the fog creeps in.
Not everyone needs it.
The breakfast thing alone will help most people.
But if you're curious what I use:
