#57 Beating Brain Fog with Dr Sabina Brennan


Listen Later

How many times do you walk into a room and completely forget why you went there in the first place?  Or maybe you’ve struggled to find the words you wanted to say.  Or perhaps you’ve missed an important appointment because you forgot all about it. 

If these situations resonate with you, rest assured that you're not alone. Many women encounter these everyday challenges because brain fog is a well-known symptom of perimenopause and menopause.

Going through your day with your brain not quite firing on all cylinders, finding it difficult to concentrate, focus, or think with the same sharpness as you used to be able to, can be not only frustrating, but also embarrassing. 

Brain fog can disrupt your productivity at work, lead to a loss of confidence and instil a fear of more serious illnesses such as early-onset Alzheimer's, when in reality, it's most likely tied to the hormonal changes happening in your body.

In this episode, I chat to Dr Sabina Brennan who is a psychologist, neuroscientist and host of the Super Brain podcast.   She is also a best selling author and her latest book, Beating Brain Fog, has lots of practical strategies to support and tune up your brain.

Join us in our conversation where we dive deep into brain fog including:

🎙️ What brain fog is and how it can affect your day to day life

🎙️ What causes brain fog and why it's so common at perimenopause and menopause

🎙️ What we can do to improve brain fog

🎙️ How we can we look after our brains
