Brain Fog & Menopause: Why You Feel Mentally Cloudy

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.”

Need Optimal Testosterone Levels?

Both men and women need optimal Testosterone levels. Testosterone surprisingly effects more than we realize. When we review lab work, patients are always interested in understanding how hormones effect their issues with sleep, concentration and other psychological factors. Truth be told, sometimes we can just get a little “off” and it can throw a lot of our daily body functions out of whack. We see a lot of men and women for testosterone therapy, and here is why:

“It is putting me in balance and I am becoming active again.”

Benefits of Testosterone:

  1. Decrease joint and muscle pain.
  2. One of the best anti-depressants around. It helps to elevate your mood naturally and enable you to feel balanced.
  3. Helps you to reduce fat and increase muscle mass (appropriately for your size).
  4. Helps to improve your focus, concentration, and memory.
  5. Aides you in getting a better night’s sleep.
  6. Increases your energy and motivation.
  7. Increases your libido (sex drive), if a low Testosterone level is the source of a lessened libido. (libido has a lot to do with psychological factors as we)
  8. Improves your endurance and ability to recover after exercise.
  9. For men–Testosterone is important for having healthy erections. (please note that men can have sub optimal Testosterone levels and yet still have a decent libido and erections–do not be fooled into thinking that your Testosterone levels are great just because you still have a libido and erections.)For Women–Testosterone decreases or eliminates your night sweats and overall feeling of “being too warm”.
  10. Testosterone enhances your overall well being.

“I started New Leaf in November of 2014. I weighed 285 pounds. New Leaf treatments gave me the energy to start working out again and over 18 months I lost 95 pounds through exercise and healthy eating, NOT DIETING, I’m too old for that. During my 18 months I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, I was told I would miss several weeks of work and take months to recover. I missed 10 days of work and returned to the gym 2 weeks after my treatments which I attribute to my hormone therapy at New Leaf.”

– Van P., New Leaf Wellness Patient
