What’s Behind That Fog?
Ever walk into a room and forget why? Or stare at a screen, completely blank on what you were about to type? Welcome to the world of menopause brain fog—and no, you’re not imagining it.
This mental haze is a common, frustrating symptom that can show up as forgetfulness, trouble concentrating, or feeling mentally “slower” than usual. It’s often linked to hormonal shifts, particularly the drop in estrogen, which affects how your brain processes information and stores memory.
But that’s not the whole story.
Stress, poor sleep (hello, night sweats), and low iron or B12 can all add extra weight to that fog. And if you're juggling work, relationships, and personal health at the same time? It's no wonder your brain feels overloaded.
The good news? Brain fog isn't permanent.
Try:
-
Prioritizing quality sleep
-
Balancing blood sugar with protein-rich meals
-
Adding movement (even a 10-minute walk)
-
Supporting your body with key nutrients like omega-3s, magnesium, and B-12 vitamins
You’re not losing your mind—you’re just learning to support it in a new season.
