BRAIN FOG

I'm talking here specifically about brain fog during perimenopause/menopause/postmenopause.

73% women in their 40s and 50s experience brain fog.

Why do we not know more about it???

It's not just a personal problem.

It's HUGELY expensive for…https://t.co/NWtuTK5A1n

A real pinch-me moment.

This was me a year ago at the British Menopause Society annual conference presenting my MSc Nutritional Medicine research on omega-3 and menopausal symptoms.

I’m delighted to be joining the conference again this week.

Tiredness, poor concentration, and poor memory - that's just three.

There are over 30 recognised menopausal symptoms.

And they are happening in your workplace.

The latest report from Essity is a reminder to all employers that menopause does matter.

When you have a moment, watch this 👇

I sat watching it with a smile.

It's humorous and honest.

The 'invisible work'. The desire for second Spring.

I'd love your comments. Did it resonate with you?

Well done Channel 4 👏

It's Friday, the sun is shining. So why am I stressed?

Yep, I'm not alone.

"It's so frustrating! This isn't how I want to be but I can't help it."

These are in fact my words. Do they sound familiar?

There is science to this 👇

Cooler shelves are lower, so ideally use;

🥫 high shelves for condiments
🧀 medium shelves for cheese, leftovers, ready-to-eat foods, fruit
🦐 low shelves for meat, fish, seafood

What about drawers? Vegetables like high hum…https://t.co/sKjIZr8iKk

Is it OK to say I get confused?

Perhaps it's more accurate to say I get frustrated by what I see in the media.

🤔 Which is better, low carb or low fat?
🤔 What's the crack about Intermittent Fasting?
🤔 Is coffee really bad?

Be honest, we all are.....

Bored of the same things on repeat.

Cooking more than one meal just to keep the peace. Not easy in this heat!

How do you talk to your Manager about menopause?

This question came up during a conversation I had today with an organisation looking to provide menopause support.

Such a great question I thought it deserved a post!

Do you pick the "diet" option?

Soft drinks, low-fat yogurt, low-sugar ketchup?

We think we're doing the right thing by choosing low-sugar options, but a recent WHO report suggests otherwise...

Artificial sweeteners may be more h…https://t.co/KKKZbz8nXp https://t.co/jESQTW2GdU

This appeared in my social media today.

It resonates with me. I think it resonates with many people.

Why juggle so much?

I hear many women share their stories when delivering menopause workshops.

Each story is unique, but the result is the same - tire…https://t.co/iaphPZtuP3

Have you watched this yet?

Food for thought isn’t it?

A few people yesterday asked me what I thought.

Most people know ultra-processed foods are not great for their health.

The 30 min programme explains why in a little detail.

But I think they’re mis…https://t.co/2gGi1uV8Jv

There's a problem isn't there?

Too many women are leaving the workplace or going part-time.

I've supported many large organisations through menopause awareness, but my current concern is for SMEs without large benefits packages.…https://t.co/KqDxMep4HB https://t.co/517nZrytPU

[Natural Alternative Health & Wellbeing Ltd @NatAlternative]

I think this is an obvious one...but it can't be because I'm repeatedly asked by 40+ women "which nutrients should I take?"

Admittedly 50% of my webinars are menopause-related, and the other 50% are nutrition. So I guess I should…https://t.co/ZPPqblU7Ld https://t.co/cNRbjlhRRd
