Summary
“Is this brain fog… or something more?” In this episode, brain expert Dr. Majid Fotuhi explains how perimenopause is a true neuroendocrine transition, where shifting hormones can temporarily impact memory, focus, sleep, and mood—often leaving women worried they’re experiencing early cognitive decline. The good news? These changes are typically transient, and as hormones stabilize, the brain can return to its baseline function. Dr. Fotuhi shares that what many women are experiencing is not the beginning of the end, but a normal phase—and one that can be supported with the right lifestyle and brain-health strategies. If you’ve been feeling “off” mentally and wondering what it means for your future, this episode will bring you the peace of mind you need. Be sure to tune in!
