What is perimenopause brain fog and how is it treated?

Not thinking clearly lately? Keep forgetting things or having trouble focusing on tasks? A common, but a nonetheless disconcerting symptom of perimenopause is brain fog.
This week I take a closer look at why brain fog can occur during perimenopause, if it gets worse during menopause, and what you can do to help yourself.

    My form of brain fog is short term memory issues like within 5 sec to 3 minutes I can’t remember what I just had in my brain it’s gone - not long term but super recent short term. I feel like losing my mind. Working memory they call it and something else that I forgot what it’s called. Lol. I also think it’s about exposure to internet addiction and dopamine reward issues vs all about perimenopause.

    I know this is not funny but you made me laugh when you say you're standing in the room thinking what did you go in there for, because it happens to me too, and it's scary, I think it's early signs of Alzheimer's. I pray we all pass through this faze quickly 🙏

    I love your beautiful spring sweater and the colour of your hair is gorgeous. I think you look even better now than years ago. You inspire me. My brain fog reminds me of when I was pregnant. The other day I had a panic attack because I couldn't find something very important. I found it! lol

    Thank you so much, this is very very helpful for me, I'm experiencing this exact situation and it scares me a lot, because my mom has Alzheimer's. And I'm very worried for myself. I'm 51 yrs old and going through perimenopause. You made me feel relief. You have such a soothing and comforting voice that make me feel relax. God bless you.

    Hi Elieen My mum has been having sudden mood changes and I have no idea how to act around her. Her body temperature is constantly changing. I would appreciate it if you can give me some advice on how to act around my mum and things to avoid when approaching a woman with Menopause . Keep up the amazing work !! Many thanks, Rahnuma :)

    Hi Rahnuma I think the most important thing here is to talk to your mum in a quiet moment and ask her how she is feeling, sometimes all that's needed is for them to know that someone is willing to listen to them. Maybe even have a daily catch-up over a cup of tea and let her chat. Hope this helps. Best Wishes Eileen

    Low carb can help. "Little and often" can increase insulin resistance. The brain can run off carbs or fat (ketones). Low carb denver and low carb Sydney on KZread can offer information on this.

    Hi Eileen,cant thank you enough..this info is a life saver. What about chia seeds in water..they have omega 3 ? I experience pressure in my heart and also dizzy feelings in the mornings..these symptoms are new after I managed to reduce all the night sweat hot flushes through applying so many of your tips. The first thing I did was breathing.

  • @AvogelCoUk

    You're welcome, glad to be of help! Yes, chia seeds can be a good addition to the diet, I grind mine and add to yogurt but you can make a 'porridge' just adding plant milk, fruit juice or water. Palpitations and dizziness is common first thing and often due to dehydration/low blood sugars/low magnesium so try a small shot glass of warm water just before bed, have a good snack about an hour before bed (protein/fat, not carb/sugar) and take a magnesium supplement, approx 200mg, with your evening meal. Great to hear that the breathing has helped! Best Wishes Eileen

    What does intermittent fasting have to do with this? Because as much as I have had a more high protein low carb diet it seems to have only made it worse. Maybe I’m not getting enough carbs to my brain. It thought that diet would be helpful for insulin resistance but it seems to have made it worse in the last year of Intermittent fasting.

    Hi I tend not to recommend IF as it can affect blood sugar levels, which are often unstable during the menopause anyway. However, some women have told me it works really well for them so I guess it depends on your own individual metabolism Best Wishes Eileen
