Staring at your computer screen, trying to focus—but your thoughts feel slow and stuck. You forget simple words. You lose your train of thought mid-sentence. You wonder, What is happening to me?
If you’re in perimenopause or menopause, it may be brain fog.
Up to 3 out of 5 women experience cognitive changes during this stage of life. Slower thinking, difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, and trouble learning new information are all common. And while many women expect hot flashes, few expect to feel mentally off.
Why It Happens
As estrogen levels decline during perimenopause and menopause, brain function can be affected. Estrogen plays an important role in memory, focus, and processing speed. Poor sleep and stress can make symptoms even worse. For women with low thyroid function, brain fog may feel even more intense.
How Hormone Support May Help
Customized Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) may help support hormonal balance, including estrogen and thyroid levels. Balanced hormones can contribute to:
- Improved mental clarity
- Better focus
- More restful sleep
- Greater overall well-being
You don’t have to accept brain fog as your “new normal.”
