Forgetting words, or where you put your car keys? You're not alone - many women experience symptoms like this with the brain fog of perimenopause/menopause! * Brain fog can be caused by hormone fluctuations, since hormones like estrogen can affect levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain that is associated with learning, memory, and motivation. * Other symptoms of menopause, such as poor sleep and hot flashes/night sweats, can also affect your ability to focus or remember things. * There are obviously other causes of problems with memory, including iron deficiency, thyroid disease, and severe memory or cognitive issues can be a sign of dementia (including Alzheimer's disease). So please see your doctor to discuss your symptoms and possible treatments. * This episode is reported & produced by myself in partnership with The Washington Post and sponsored by @Hers #herspartner * The information provided is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
