How Menopause Affects Cognitive Function

Menopause isn’t just about physical changes, it affects brain function, memory, and executive skills. Many women experience brain fog, forgetfulness, and slower processing speeds.

Common Cognitive Symptoms of Menopause:

✅ Struggling to recall words or names
✅ Increased forgetfulness and trouble focusing
✅ Feeling mentally sluggish and overwhelmed

How to Support Executive Function During Menopause

  1. Manage Stress & Sleep: Cortisol disrupts memory and processing.

  2. Optimize Nutrition for Brain Health: Anti-inflammatory foods can help.

  3. Use External Supports: Planners, alarms, and structured routines.

  4. Advocate for Workplace Accommodations: Open conversations with leadership.

  5. Work with a Menopause-Aware Coach: Develop strategies tailored to your needs.
