Why It Happens
Estrogen Decline: Reduces blood flow and neurotransmitter activity in the brain.
Sleep Disruption: Night sweats and insomnia impair mental recovery.
Stress and Cortisol Elevation: Cortisol interferes with hippocampal function.
Blood Sugar Instability: Insulin resistance often emerges midlife and affects cognition.
Neuroinflammation: Gut and immune changes contribute to brain fog symptoms.
How to Manage
Support Hormones Safely: Consider natural therapies or HRT if recommended.
Prioritize Sleep Quality: Use black-out curtains, magnesium, or cooling support.
Try Brain-Boosting Exercise: Light cardio and strength training support clarity.
Calm Inflammation: Add omega-3s, turmeric, and gut support foods.
