Menopause and Memory: Keeping Yourself In The Right State During Menopause

Special Guest: Michelle Middleton In this insightful and empowering episode of Senior Care Made Simple, the hosts sit down with special guest Michelle Middleton to unpack a topic that affects millions of women—but is rarely discussed openly: menopause and memory. From “brain fog” and forgetfulness to mood changes and disrupted sleep, perimenopause can bring cognitive shifts that feel alarming and confusing. Michelle shares practical strategies, reassurance, and science-backed insight to help women understand what’s happening in their bodies—and what they can do about it. Whether you're experiencing perimenopause yourself, supporting a spouse, or caring for aging parents, this episode provides clarity, encouragement, and actionable tools. For many women, perimenopause begins in their 40s—often while they’re juggling careers, raising children, and possibly caring for aging parents. Memory lapses during this stage can create unnecessary fear, especially with increased awareness around dementia. This episode helps listeners understand the difference between hormonal brain fog and more serious cognitive concerns—bringing peace of mind and proactive solutions.
