Work, Relationships & Finding Your Power: Your Brain on Hormones Part 2 of 2

from The Luminescence Podcast with Schuyler Grant · host Luminescence

Why does perimenopause feel like you're losing your edge? This is part two of the conversation on your brain during hormonal transitions. Schuyler Grant, Dr. Sarah de la Torre, Dr. Somi Javaid, and Elena Brower get into what's actually happening in your brain and nervous system as estrogen shifts — and what you can do to feel like yourself again, including one of the most underreported findings in menopause research. They discuss: Simple breathing and hands-on techniques to activate your rest-and-digest mode — practical tools for a nervous system that's genuinely overloaded right now How HRT can restore mood, focus, and cognitive function — often faster than most women expect, and what to do when it's not enough The emotional and professional impact of neurological changes — what workplace accommodations actually matter, and how to navigate relationships when your brain feels different Why empathy and emotional intelligence tend to increase after menopause — what the science says about how your brain's wiring shifts in ways that are worth knowing about Nutrition and supplement truths for brain health — carbs, phytoestrogens, and the brain boosters most women overlook For any woman who wants to understand that what feels like decline might actually be rewiring — and how to work with your brain instead of against it.
