Many individuals (including myself) find that they feel much more mentally alert after quitting gluten. The change won’t happen overnight, but research does show that a sustained gluten-free diet can help reduce brain fog. When I went gluten free for several years, I noticed that my need for post-lunch naps went away. However, something else could be at play. If you are taking supplements for heart-health such as fish oils to combat the cardiovascular downside of quitting whole grains, keep in mind that omegas also combat brain fog, so this shift may not entirely have to do with what you gave up, but rather what you swapped in.
