Before we dive in, let’s clarify three things:
- Menopause brain fog is REAL.
- You are not alone in your experience.
- Brain health is not out of your control.
‘Brain fog’ is the not-so-scientific umbrella term for concentration and memory loss issues, which can range from forgetfulness to taking longer to find the right word.
Anyone who’s experienced brain fog knows that it can be a bit more intense than forgetting where you put your keys. Because of the menopause taboo and the mental health taboo, so many women feel like they are going crazy or imagining things.
You don’t have to suffer in isolation. Check out our Brain Fog Guide for the science behind menopause and cognitive issues along with a bunch of lifestyle tips and recommendations to boost your brain health.
