Focus and concentration during perimenopause
My mind keeps wandering off and I can’t think clearly. Is this a perimenopause symptom? Well, concentration and focus can be a challenge when hormone levels are fluctuating. Particularly, you may have noticed this before your period, when your hormone levels were at their lowest and you felt tired and less sharp than usual.
Now, during perimenopause changes in hormone levels could be more dramatic. There are bigger spikes and dips and this can really crank up PMS symptoms like trouble concentrating, even if your periods are getting more spaced out or lighter.
What can help?
Sensible lifestyle tips can really help with tiredness and focus during perimenopause. Getting enough exercise, drinking enough water, resting, and sleeping are all important. A sensible and well-balanced diet will also ensure you have adequate levels of nutrients that are important for concentration.
We have developed our Focus Perimenopause supplement to target issues with focus and vitality during perimenopause. It contains the herb Passiflora, as well as zinc to help with cognitive function, and magnesium for normal psychological and nervous system functioning, as well as supporting your energy.
