Perimenopause: lifting the brain fog
from Ladies, We Need To Talk Hosted by Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Is perimenopause brain fog jamming up your workday? Are you constantly in a bad mood or irrationally angry at your kids who are only as annoying as usual? Is your memory failing you for the simplest words? Riding the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause has a huge impact on our brains — from mood to memory, sleep to stress. Come hang with Yumi Stynes as she meets women convinced that they're losing their minds or even going through dementia, but are, in fact, in the depths of perimenopause. Plus, Yumi chats to Dr Pauline Maki, a leading professor of Psychiatry, Psychology and Obstetrics and Gynecology, to find out how can we shift our brains into gear during this phase of life. This episode contains references to perimenopause, depression, anxiety, rage, anger, irritation, mood swings, hot flashes, sleep disturbance, menopausal hormone therapy, women, parenting, mothering and relationships.
