Brain Fog in Women from Postpartum to Menopause

from Treated with Dr. Sara Szal

Today Dr. Sara explores one of the most misunderstood symptoms in women’s health: brain fog. She unpacks why the mental haze so many women experience isn’t “just stress” or “getting older,” but often a biological signal of deeper dysfunction—spanning hormones, mitochondria, inflammation, and metabolism. From postpartum to perimenopause to menopause, Dr. Sara traces how shifting estrogen, nutrient depletion, and chronic stress can dim the brain’s energy output—and how to reverse it. She offers a step-by-step roadmap to restore mental clarity, reboot energy, and reclaim focus at every stage of womanhood.// REFERENCES // Dr. Sara’s Perimenopause Survival Guide Dr. Sara Book: Women, Food, and Hormones // KEEP IN TOUCH WITH DR.
