Brain Fog in Menopause: What’s normal, Why does it happen & How to protect your future brain
Description
Is brain fog in menopause just “part of getting older” - or something you should worry about?
In this episode of Fab Female Nutrition (part 4 of our menopause symptoms series), I’m tackling one of the most unsettling midlife complaints: brain fog, memory lapses, and the fear it could be something more serious.
You’ll discover:
• Why brain fog is such a common menopause symptom, and why it usually lifts
• How fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone affect memory and focus
• Why panic makes brain fog worse, and the importance of self-compassion
• Dr Dale Bredesen’s “leaky roof” theory, and how plugging multiple lifestyle gaps may reduce dementia risk
• What we can learn from Michael Mosley’s Secrets of the Super Agers TV series about supporting lifelong brain health
