Menopause and the Brain

Someone on my Threads feed recommended a book called The Menopause Brain by Dr Lisa Mosconi. I haven’t read the book yet but found this podcast. It was absolutely fascinating.

A few of my takeaways

  • No one actually knows a whole lot about menopause (yet).
  • It is not actually an ovary issue but more of a brain issue.
  • There are only TWO main types of HRT’s! This seems bizarre because while we all have similar symptoms we are all different and experience this season differently.
  • Brain fog is a very real. For some woman it improves after menopause, for some it stays the same and for some it gets worse.

There is obviously a lot more information in this podcast and I am keen to get my hands on the book. Give it a listen, it might help explain what you are going through.

I am a 40-something woman navigating middle-aged life. The kids are leaving, my body is morphing, my marriage is evolving and my goals are changing.
