129. Brain Fog & Overwhelm Over 40: How to Get Clear & Calm

Brain fog, forgetfulness, irrational thoughts, and focus issues are common in perimenopause - but rarely explained.

In this episode, we explore what's really happening to the female brain during the perimenopausal transition, why symptoms often start in the late 30s and intensify in the 40s, and what women can do to protect long-term brain health.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone play key roles in brain function
The real reason brain fog, memory loss, and poor focus show up in perimenopause
How rumination and anxiety are connected to nervous system and progesterone
Why perimenopausal brain symptoms are not the same as Alzheimer's or dementia
How nutrition, lifestyle, and hormone support can protect cognitive health after 40
