Finding Focus

In this conversation, Dr. Polly Watson discusses the lack of focus and brain fog that many women experience during perimenopause and menopause. She explores various factors that can contribute to these symptoms, including hormonal changes, lifestyle factors, and medical conditions. Dr. Watson emphasizes the importance of addressing the basics, such as thyroid function, blood sugar levels, vitamin deficiencies, and sleep apnea. She also suggests herbal and nutraceutical options that may help improve cognitive function. This episode provides practical tips for enhancing focus and mental clarity during menopause.

Quotes

“Our brains are not designed to do multiple things at once. Multitasking is a myth. So many of us do much better by block scheduling. Create an environment where it's easier for you to focus.”
“Reset your mind by resetting your body. That can be so powerful for women that are maybe like me, maybe a little bit type A, a little bit in your head.”
“Holy Basil is neuroprotectant as well as helping with anxiety. It also is an adaptogen, meaning it helps us manage our cortisol, manage our stress a little bit.”
