Brain Fogged: Why Menopause Scrambles Your Mind (and How to Get Your Focus Back)

Ever walked into a room and forgotten why you’re there? Or mid-sentence your mind goes completely blank — like your brain just hit “buffering”?

Welcome to menopause brain fog — one of the most common (and least discussed) symptoms of midlife.

In this episode of Celebrity Menopause, Dr Golda — The International Celebrity Menopause Doctor — breaks down the real science behind memory loss, concentration issues, and that fuzzy, forgetful feeling so many women experience during perimenopause and menopause.

You’ll discover how hormonal fluctuations, stress, poor sleep, and even nutritional gaps can all hijack your focus — and why your brain isn’t “failing,” it’s recalibrating.

Dr Golda shares what’s really happening inside your brain chemistry — from oestrogen’s role in neurotransmitter balance to the stress hormone cortisol and its impact on memory — along with smart, evidence-based steps to help you think clearly again.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The real link between oestrogen and brain fog
• Why your brain feels “slow” (and how it’s actually rewiring)
• The surprising impact of stress, sleep, and hydration on focus
• What vitamins and nutrients support cognition (and why you should always test, not guess)
• Real-life stories from Dr Golda’s global clinic — proof that clarity can return with the right support

If you’ve ever thought, “Am I losing my mind?” — this episode will reassure you that you’re not. You’re evolving. And with the right tools, your sharper, calmer, more focused self is absolutely within reach.
