How to Manage Hot Flashes, Brain Fog, and Sleep Disruption During Menopause with Ellen Wermter & Mary Helen Rogers

How to Manage Hot Flashes, Brain Fog, and Sleep Disruption During Menopause with Ellen Wermter & Mary Helen Rogers

This week, we have Better Sleep Council representative and Family Nurse Practitioner Ellen Wermter. Ellen's been on in the past discussing the circadian rhythm.

Today's conversation we're talking all about menopause. Ellen breaks down the difference between perimenopause and menopause, explains the roller coaster of symptoms women may experience—from hot flashes and irritability to sleep disruption and brain fog—and reveals why these changes are so unpredictable.

We'll unpack why sleep becomes so elusive during this transition, the real impact of fluctuating hormones, and the surprising role of things like your mattress, bedroom environment, and even your support system.

Ellen shares practical advice on managing anxiety, evaluating supplements, and how lifestyle tweaks (think: exercise, protein, stress management) can make a real difference.
