Why Am I So Foggy? Your Brain in Menopause

Struggling with memory lapses, brain fog, or feeling like you’re losing your edge during menopause? In this empowering episode of the Menopause Conversations podcast, host Angela Counsel explains why these symptoms are common—and what you can do about them.

Drawing from cutting-edge neuroscience and her own experiences, Angela reveals that your brain isn’t breaking down—it’s upgrading.

Discover the real reason behind menopausal brain fog as Angela compares the brain’s hormonal rewiring to a chaotic home renovation. She unpacks how the communication between your brain, ovaries, and adrenal glands shifts during this transition, and what that means for your focus, decision-making, and emotional clarity.

Angela also explores practical, science-based strategies to support your brain:

🧠 Foods that nourish cognition

💤 How sleep flushes out toxins

🚫 Why alcohol disrupts brain repair

📅 Life-saving tools like sticky notes & calendar reminders

Plus, she highlights research from leading experts Dr. Lisa Mosconi (The Menopause Brain) and Dr. Louann Brizendine (The Upgrade), showing that women don’t lose intelligence through menopause—in fact, they gain wisdom.

This episode is a must-listen for women in business or leadership roles who want to thrive through the menopause transition.
