The hormonal fluctuations of perimenopause can impact our brain and nervous system, leading to brain fog, mood swings, insomnia and other cognitive changes.
In this episode, we are joined by women’s health expert, naturopath and nutritionist, Georgia Marion to shed light on why perimenopause can impact our brain health.
Perimenopause is the phase leading up to menopause, and this transitionary period can last up to a decade for some women. During this time, many women will report issues with brain fog, mood, memory and concentration changes, and difficulty sleeping. Whilst hormonal fluctuations play a significant role in these symptoms, as you will discover there are many other elements at play, including diet, lifestyle, nutritional deficiencies and liver function.
