Misty, I am much older than you, and can honestly say that I think sugar and carbs are like poison to the brain (and body). I too wondered if my brain function was fading due to age or disease, but am happy to say with dietary changes I am sharper than ever and so much happier too.
Funny, when I feel overwhelmed and foggy, I crave a bite or two of steak, Diet Coke and Snickers. Mostly Snickers. And I'm borderline too thin.
