In today’s fast-paced world, brain fog and burnout have become modern epidemics—especially among the very people who appear to “function well” on the outside. Many of the high-achieving Gen X and Baby Boomer adults I work with describe the same story: they are excelling in demanding careers, caring for aging parents, supporting grown children, serving in their church communities, and wearing more hats than ever before.

And yet, despite doing “all the right things,” they suddenly find themselves unable to think clearly, stay focused, or maintain the energy and resilience they once had.

At Caring for the Body, PLLC – Center for Functional Medicine, we approach these issues differently. Instead of masking symptoms, we investigate the root causes behind cognitive changes, energy depletion, inflammation, hormonal shifts, and stress overload. Our mission is to treat the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—through personalized, precision medicine that supports long-term vitality and brain health.

Dr. Libert’s Whole-Person Approach to Brain Fog & Burnout

Healing brain fog and burnout requires more than quick fixes. It requires a deeply personalized strategy that looks at your unique biology, lifestyle, stressors, genetics, and life goals.

Dr. Cynthia Libert, M.D., integrates precision diagnostics with compassionate, patient-centered medicine to create sustainable, long-term transformation.

Precision Root-Cause Evaluation

Your journey starts with a comprehensive assessment that may include:

• Detailed medical and lifestyle history
• Neurocognitive testing
• Advanced biomarker analysis
• Hormone panels (DUTCH, ZRT)
• Genetic testing (3x4 Genetics, IntellxxDNA)
• GI testing and microbiome mapping
• Environmental toxin evaluation
• Cardiovascular and vascular health markers

This “look under the hood” approach provides clarity and direction for your personalized plan.

The Re-Think Aging™ Framework

Dr. Libert’s signature process is designed to help you reclaim cognitive clarity, build resilience, and expand your healthspan.

It includes three transformative steps:

1. Identify – Determine your unique root causes
2. Optimize – Heal and upgrade brain + body systems
3. Sustain – Maintain your progress with long-term support and joyful living

This framework is the foundation of your Brain + Body Vitality Blueprint, a map for thriving in midlife and beyond.

Whole-Person Care Model

Healing isn’t just biochemical—it’s also emotional, spiritual, and relational. Dr. Libert’s approach includes:

• Nutrition therapy tailored to your biology
• Lifestyle medicine for sleep, movement, and detoxification
• Stress resilience training including mindset and nervous system support
• Targeted supplementation customized to your labs
• Faith-inspired empowerment, compassion, and hope woven throughout the process

This truly integrative method reflects the practice’s mission to treat each person as unique and deeply valued.

Solutions That Address Brain Fog & Burnout at the Source

When we address brain fog and burnout through a functional medicine lens, healing becomes not only possible—it becomes predictable. By restoring balance to the body’s core systems, optimizing metabolic pathways, and supporting the brain at every level, we help patients regain clarity, vitality, and peace of mind.

Nutrition & Metabolic Optimization

Food is information. Every bite sends a biochemical message that either fuels inflammation or supports healing. For many patients, nutrition is the cornerstone of restoring cognitive clarity.

Key nutritional strategies include:

• Anti-inflammatory eating to reduce cytokines that impair brain function
• Blood sugar balancing to prevent energy crashes and cognitive fluctuations
• Mitochondrial nourishment using nutrient-dense whole foods, healthy fats, and targeted supplementation

Dr. Libert frequently incorporates The Foundational Five Designs for Health supplements—vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3s, a high-quality multivitamin, and probiotics—to replenish nutrient deficiencies and support systemic healing.

Hormone Balancing

Hormones directly influence memory, focus, mood, sleep, motivation, and stress resilience. When hormones drift out of balance, cognitive symptoms are often the first sign.

Our approach includes:

• Thyroid optimization to support metabolism and brain speed
• Adrenal repair to regulate cortisol patterns disrupted by chronic stress
• Bioidentical hormone therapy (when appropriate) for perimenopause or andropause

Hormone testing through partners like Precision Analytical (DUTCH) and ZRT Laboratories provides detailed insights into imbalances contributing to burnout and brain fog.

Gut Healing Therapies

The gut and brain communicate constantly through immune, hormonal, and neurological pathways. When the gut is compromised, inflammation rises, nutrients become harder to absorb, and the brain suffers.

Therapies may include:

• Microbiome balancing using probiotics, botanicals, and diet
• SIBO/SIFO treatment to reduce gas, bloating, and inflammation
• Leaky gut repair through amino acids, botanicals, and strategic supplementation

Advanced testing from Diagnostic Solutions, Doctor’s Data, and Vibrant Wellness helps identify infections, dysbiosis, or inflammatory triggers.

Detoxification Protocols

Modern life exposes us to thousands of chemicals daily. When detox pathways become overwhelmed, toxins accumulate and interfere with brain and mitochondrial function.

Our detox protocols include:

• Gentle detox support (GI Revive®, binders, antioxidants, liver support)
• Mycotoxin and heavy metal testing via Vibrant and Quicksilver Scientific
• Home + environmental audits to identify mold, chemicals, and hidden exposures

These strategies help patients “take out the trash”—a key pillar of the Re-Think Aging curriculum.

Nervous System & Stress Resilience Training

Burnout is not just physical—it is neurological. To heal the brain, we must support the autonomic nervous system and build stress resilience.

Core components include:

• Mindset work to shift limiting beliefs and build optimism
• Gratitude practices to regulate the nervous system and improve emotional health
• Breathwork for vagus nerve activation and calming the stress response
• Somatic + lifestyle tools to promote grounding, presence, and emotional regulation

These elements form the psychological foundation of the coaching sessions included in the Re-Think Aging program.

Oxygenation & Vascular Health

Healthy brain function depends on optimal blood flow and oxygen delivery. When microcirculation becomes impaired, cognitive decline can accelerate.

Interventions may include:

• Breathing practices that increase oxygenation and reduce stress hormones
• Microcirculation support with targeted supplements such as Arterosil® and CoQ10
• Advanced oxygen therapies like EWOT (Exercise With Oxygen Therapy) and HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy)

These strategies support endothelial health and improve nutrient delivery to the brain.

Energy Optimization

Restoring cellular energy is essential for reversing brain fog and burnout.

Key strategies include:

• Mitochondrial repair using nutrients such as PQQ, CoQ10, and NAD precursors
• Red light therapy, PEMF, and cold therapy to stimulate cellular resilience
• Cellular nutrient support to enhance ATP production and reduce oxidative stress

This focus on mitochondrial vitality is a centerpiece of Dr. Libert’s longevity and neuroprotection approach.

The Re-Think Aging Program: A Transformational Solution for Brain Fog & Burnout

While individual therapies can help, meaningful and lasting transformation happens when they are integrated into a structured, supportive, evidence-based framework.

That is exactly what the Re-Think Aging Program delivers.

Who It’s For

This program is ideally suited for:

• Adults 40–65+
• High-achieving individuals experiencing cognitive decline, chronic stress, or early burnout
• Individuals with APOE4, family history of dementia, or concerns about long-term brain health

It is especially valuable for those who want to optimize their healthspan—not just lifespan.

What’s Included

The Re-Think Aging Program is a three-month, physician-led functional medicine immersion designed to upgrade your brain, body, and lifestyle.

It includes:
