I know this may have been brought up a few times already and there isn't actually much concrete evidence to support how poor posture may affect brain fog / cognition however I'll talk about my experiences over the last couple weeks. I'm curious if anyone else has seen similar results?

Generally a pretty fit guy, work out most days and eat quite well. I've always dealt with quite severe brain fog and had no idea how to resolve the issue. Symptoms include poor focus / memory and mood issues. Exercise would help for a few hours and meditation where I was lying down or sitting upright with a focus on posture would also temporarily alleviate symptoms. My posture has always been quite bad even as a kid, forward head posture, rolled shoulders and tucked hips. I also work a desk job which obviously doesn't help. I decided to buy a posture brace that helps bring the shoulders back and down and in turn seems to force me to pull my head back. From day 1 I would say my symptoms are about 80% gone, I more mental energy and just generally feel better . Not here to start a debate, I understand the implications of always wearing the brace and I do not plan on using it all the time, just more curious as to other people's experience with this.
