Brain Fog
Brain fog describes the sensation when your mind feels sluggish, it's hard to concentrate and you can’t remember words, particularly nouns, like fridge!?
It can be a significant source of stress because it can make you feel less competent, like you can't do your job properly, remember basic things like friends birthdays. Many of my clients even worry that they may have ADHD or early dementia.
Brain fog is caused by low Oestrogen levels in the brain and can be made much worse by poor sleep and stress.
No 1. Magnificent Menopause tip for Brain Fog:
I’ve got a bunch of nutritional and movement based protocols that have been really effective for Brain Fog as it's something I particularly suffered from and still do if I don’t stick to my own protocols!
But a simple thing to try is the medicinal mushroom Hericium erinaceus, otherwise known as Lions Mane.
There have been a number of reputable studies that have shown that Lions Mane significantly impacts on improved cognitive function, protects your brains nerve cells.* Some experts believe it can even be protective against dementia.
I buy MycoNutri Lions Mane from the Natural Dispensary. Feel free to use my 10% discount code (CRP10).
You may feel improved mood and energy levels after a few weeks - but its impact on your brain cells, and the substantial cognitive benefits that follow, can take up to 16 weeks. It has been shown to be effective with 3 grams a day.
