Brain Fog

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.

I've been working with Stasi for almost 18 months.  She has been fantastic and has truly helped me on my journey through this time of my life.  I'm certainly becoming a better version of myself thanks to her!
I look forward to my sessions with Katie - she is a wealth of knowledge in a variety of menopause health areas. She not only listens, she is engaged and supportive.  No matter what questions I throw at her, she always has great feedback, suggestions and has a become a crucial part of my menopause journey. I am so glad to have her as a sounding block / resource as I try to minimize and manage the overwhelming menopause emotions that are so foreign to me.
