Brain fog, mood swings, and memory lapses are common during menopause. Dr Nirusha focuses on improving brain health and emotional well-being through hormone optimisation, stress management, and nutritional support.
The hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause don’t just affect your body; they can significantly impact your mind. Fluctuations in oestrogen and progesterone levels are linked to mood swings, anxiety, brain fog, and even memory challenges. Oestrogen plays a key role in serotonin regulation, the neurotransmitter responsible for happiness and emotional stability. Research indicates that oestrogen also has neuroprotective effects, helping to preserve cognitive function during ageing. Without proper hormone support, many women experience cognitive decline and increased risk of conditions like Alzheimer's.
Supporting mood and cognitive function during this phase involves more than just addressing hormones; it requires a comprehensive approach that includes nutrition, stress reduction, and targeted supplementation.
