Discover how inflammation, sleep, gut health, and amino acids impact brain fog, mood, and identity during menopause — and how to restore balance naturally.

In this episode, I talk with Laurie Hammer about the brain changes many women face during menopause — from fog and anxiety to feeling disconnected or “not themselves.” We explore how inflammation, sleep quality, gut health, movement, and amino acid therapy can rebalance neurotransmitters and calm the nervous system. Laurie shares simple, practical steps to restore clarity, mood, and vitality in midlife.
