Are you experiencing “brain fog?”

Many women begin to notice increased forgetfulness or difficulty concentrating and thinking clearly during menopause.

What is brain health?

Brain health is a state in which every individual can realize their own abilities and optimize their cognitive, emotional, psychological, and behavioral functioning to cope with life situations.

How many women does this impact? / What is the prevalence?

Brain health is important throughout all stages of a woman’s life. During menopause, many women will report mild cognitive decline (or brain fog), making brain health and optimization especially important during this time.

  • Eating well
  • Reduce stress
  • Mental activity (reading, crossword puzzles, puzzles, etc.)

Why does it feel like my brain is changing during menopause?
