In one of my favorite expert interviews on this episode of The Period Whisperer, I chat with Dr. Becca Block, an author, researcher, and executive function coach, about the cognitive challenges women face during perimenopause. Dr. Block, who works with neurodivergent brains, dives into the impact fluctuating estrogen has on brain function and how it can make thinking, remembering, and focusing feel like a struggle. But don’t worry—there’s hope!


We explore why cognitive changes in perimenopause don’t have to be a source of defeat. Instead, Dr. Block shows us how we can embrace these changes as an opportunity to thrive, with strategies and tips to support mental clarity, focus, and emotional resilience during this stage of life.


Key Takeaways:

🧠 The real cognitive challenges women face in perimenopause and how fluctuating estrogen impacts brain function.
 🧠 How neurodivergent brains are uniquely affected by these changes and why understanding this is crucial.
 🧠 Holistic, cognitive, and medical strategies you can use to improve clarity and feel good about your "spicy brain" during perimenopause.


This episode is packed with insight and actionable advice, offering empowerment for women experiencing cognitive shifts. Tune in and learn how to harness your brain’s potential and keep your mind sharp through perimenopause and beyond!
