Session Summary
The menopause has an impact on everyone. At work, at home, in your social life - where women have to navigate this brain-body change directly, it somehow has a knock-on effect on those around them too. At work, around 1 in 5 women leave their jobs in the peak of their career because of menopause-related issues. Brain Fog, or Menofog, is a big offender, making it much harder to focus, think clearly, remember and function on their A-game. But what if we understood the science behind perimenopausal Brian Fog, de-bunked the myths, and importantly learned some top tips that we could all utilise to make working life, and also home life a little more effective? Join Dr T, Psychiatrist and High Performance Expert, in uncovering the brain science behind MenoFog and how we can work to beat it - together!
