My Perimenopause Story – Brain Fog

Brain fog has been one of my most troublesome symptoms and seems to pop up at the most inconvenient of times! Luckily, I have found a few simple strategies that help me get my concentration back and help my brain wake up when it's flagging.

Here are 5 things I do:

  1. My brain fog definitely worsens when I don't get enough sleep, so I try and go to bed at 11 pm every night. I drink my camomile tea and I tell my face muscles to relax.
  2. Brain fog is my major wake-up call to stay hydrated. I find I'm better at drinking enough water when I'm organised. So, I fill up bottles and keep them close by, to remind me to drink. That works for me.
  3. I find that if I get up and move around that definitely helps. I do a few star jumps to try and get a bit of blood flow to the brain.
  4. There's a popular Indian tea called Tulsi Tea. It's a favourite of mine. I love the taste and it gives me a nice boost.
  5. Nervous system and cognitive support. I'm taking Focus Perimenopause Passiflora Complex tablets to help with this.
