Experiencing brain fog during perimenopause can feel isolating and even a little scary. When our focus and mental clarity shift, it’s easy to think it’s just us. But I promise you, it’s not!
Brain fog is a broad term that covers a range of frustrating symptoms; difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, that ‘cotton wool’ feeling in your head, and constantly flitting between tasks without being able to settle on just one. You might find yourself walking into a room and forgetting why, opening a new tab on your computer with no idea what for, or unlocking your phone only to stare at the screen blankly. Sound familiar? You’re not alone!
In this episode, I’ll break down why this happens and, most importantly, what you can do to support your brain through it.
