Brain fog in menopause can look like memory lapses, difficulty focusing on tasks, a general feeling of just not being as sharp and quick as usual. There are steps you can take to help support your brain through the menopause transition.
According to neuroscientist and Gennev Health Advisor Dr. Lisa Mosconi, estrogen is a “master regulator” of the brain, and when levels decline, our brains are literally fatigued. It can take time for the brain to adapt to the new normal (and studies show it does adapt, in time). As brains are adjusting to hormone fluctuations, it’s wise to take some steps to help things along.
