For me this was the most distressing symptom of menopause that seemed to strike out of the blue. ⚡

At first I didn’t even realise it was menopause related and couldn’t work out what was happening!

I suddenly found myself unable to think clearly and function like I used to and even simple tasks seemed beyond me in my senior corporate marketing role.

I felt like I was really messing up and making a fool of myself.

I took myself off to the doctors, only to be offered antidepressants, which seemed crazy as I knew I wasn’t depressed….. but had no idea what else to do.

However, after changing my diet including more green leafy veg, phyto-oestrogens such as flaxseeds, edamame beans and chickpeas, prioritising my sleep ensuring I and getting 7-8 hours a night, plus minimising stress levels through daily meditation and weekly yoga sessions, I started to feel less foggy and think clearer.

Let me know if you can relate? I’d love to know if you feel like you’re unable to function and think clearly at work.
