Is it brain fog... or is your brain adapting?

In this episode of The Deanna Byrne Podcast, Deanna explores the fascinating science behind the menopause brain and why so many women experience changes in memory, focus, decision-making, and emotional resilience during perimenopause and menopause. She dives into the role of hormones, the nervous system, chronic stress, trauma, and the hidden mental load many women carry, while sharing her own personal journey through grief, Transient Global Amnesia, and rediscovering her health.

This is an honest, evidence-informed conversation that goes beyond "it's just menopause." You'll learn why understanding your body can reduce fear, help you advocate for your health, and empower you to support your brain and nervous system with confidence and compassion.

Whether you're just beginning your menopause journey or you're well into it, this episode will leave you feeling informed, validated, and hopeful, because your brain isn't broken. It's adapting.
