Hi Loves,

Hope you are all doing amazing and area ready for the holiday season.

I know so many of us suffer from brain fog so that is why I feel it is important to discuss. A certain amount of memory issues can be age related, as our bodies age so do the blood vessels and brain cells, or neurons that our brain relies on to transmit information. They don’t communicate as well with each other, causing brain function to slow down a -bit. So it may take a little longer to recall information , learn something new, but there’s no reason to expect significant memory or cognitive decline as we age if we our taking good care of our bodies and brain health.

Hormones also play a factor in brain fog specially estrogen and progesterone which is why if you are a middle aged women you maybe dealing with this brain fog. During perimenopause the erratic fluctuations of estrogen and the decline of progesterone . Relying on verbal memory or recalling words becomes increasingly difficult as hormone levels decline into menopause. And other symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia , and night sweats end up leading to poor sleep which can also cause fuzzy thinking it can make it hard to focus, process new information and even feel mentally sharp at times.
