Chaos to Calm

Are your mid-conversation memory blanks perimenopause or early dementia?


Listen Later

Is your forgetfulness an early flag for dementia or just menopause?

You’re mid-conversation, and suddenly, you can’t remember the name of something basic. A grater? Your colleague’s name? Completely blank. If you've been wondering if this is normal or something more sinister, you're certainly not alone - but the answer might surprise you.

Tune in to this episode where we get to the real reasons behind these frustrating memory lapses, why you’re not losing your mind, and how you can regain your usual mental clarity.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why memory lapses happen: Discover how hormonal changes during perimenopause are impacting your brain and why it's normal to feel like you’re forgetting things you used to know with ease.
  • How neuroinflammation is holding you back: Learn about the hidden culprit behind brain fog and forgetfulness, and why your brain’s ability to process information is being slowed down.
  • Gut health matters more than you think: Find out how the state of your gut is affecting your brain health and contributing to memory issues.
  • Practical ways to sharpen your memory: I’ll share simple, actionable steps to support your brain through perimenopause—so you can start to feel like yourself again.

Sneak Peek:
"We move into our forties, and suddenly it's like, why am I so forgetful? Why am I not on top of all these things? You're in the middle of a conversation, or you're asking your kids to pass you something in the kitchen, something basic like a grater - and blank. You can't even remember what the name of it is, or you see someone that you've known forever and can't remember their name."
