How to clear brain fog

Also known as Menofog, Mentalpause, Perifog & Menobrain…

Having menopausal brain fog and general lack of concentration are common yet so very frustrating during menopause. 

We used to be able to shut the world out for long periods and focus on the task (or tasks!) at hand…

But now, we’re having to yank our attention back from outer space like a lost astronaut every few minutes.

Brain fogs are real, and the symptoms are plenty:

  • Memory problems
  • Inability to focus or concentrate
  • Difficulty processing information
  • Trouble problem-solving
  • Feelings of confusion or disorientation
  • Having a hard time calculating
  • Diminished visual and spatial skills
  • Trouble finding words

These symptoms might seem like a minor inconvenience…

But for women who have to make a living, these symptoms can be the deciding factor for a raise, or even worse, if they are able to keep their jobs.

Menopause Brain can affect their work performance, making them forget stuff they used to do on a daily basis.

They might even get passed over for a promotion, due to a “lack of detail” in their work.

While some bosses tend to be understanding, there are a few that do not understand how frustrating it is to not be able to function at 100%, and heavily penalize them for small mistakes.

This can lead menopausal women going to work everyday with a heavy heart, thinking that it might be their last.

So, what causes women to have Menobrain?

According to Dr. Lisa Mosconi, neuroscientist, neuro-nutritionist, and author of Brain Food, estrogen is a “master regulator.” 

It regulates your brain, pushing it to burn glucose to make energy. 

So, when estrogen declines during menopause, the brain doesn’t work as hard, so energy levels in the brain decline.

The result? 

“Foggy” brain, compromised short-term memory, and difficulty concentrating.

Other menopausal issues can also contribute to this concentration challenge: 

  • Anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • Fatigue
  • Stress

Are there solutions to navigate the fog?

Like our physical health, cognitive health requires active maintenance!

Disease management such as exercise, quitting smoking, eating well (doctors recommend a largely Mediterranean diet), adequate sleep and social engagement are all useful tools for maintaining and improving memory and cognition.

However, we’ve come up with a list of tips you might find useful in helping you dissipate the fog in your brain:

Tip #1: Eat your estrogens, water your brain

There are foods that have naturally occurring phytoestrogens in them which can help replenish the diminishing estrogen from our bodies. 

Try to include in your diet foods like:

Legumes — flaxseeds, soy, chickpeas, sesame seeds; 

Fruits — peaches, strawberries, and oranges; dried fruits; 

Veggies — yams, carrots, and kale; lentils, peas

Herbs — turmeric, moringa & curry leaf

And of course, feed your brain by drinking good water, as water is essential for delivering nutrients to the brain and for removing toxins.

Tip #2: Eliminate distractions

When you’re trying to get something done and you find yourself drifting away, write down the things that are bothering you. 

You can get to them later. You won’t forget, you’ve got them on paper. Then push the paper aside for now.

Turn off anything that tugs at your attention: TV, music, social media. 

Putting a neutral white noise on in the background may help you concentrate, so consider turning on e-rain sounds or electric ocean waves.

Tip #3: Make lists

Some of us resist making lists, fearing we may become “dependent” on them.

But in fact, the simple act of writing something down is a memory aid in itself. 

And having a list may take some of the emotion out of the situation — as we’re all better off without that lingering feeling that we’ve forgot something important.

Tip #4: Practice concentration

Your brain is like a muscle — it needs to practice certain skills to stay strong. 

You can practice focus by remembering details. 

A little exercise you can do is thinking about a recent event in your life.

Try to remember everything you can: the weather, what you were wearing, who was with you, what was said, the sights and sounds and smells. 

The more detail you can pull in, the higher the level of concentration you’re “exercising.”

Tip #5: Get a plant

Yeah, that’s what we thought too, but apparently it works. 

House (or office) plants detox the air, calm us down, and actually help us improve focus and concentration by as much as 15%.

And you thought leafy greens were only good for eating…

PS. These tips are a great way to fight back against menobrain, however, some might take a longer time to work…

Which is why it is so important to supplement yourself NOW with the brain boosting vitamin B, as well as a steady source of phytoestrogen to balance the hormones.
