Brain Fog
That 'fuzzy' feeling mid-cycle or pre-period has a hormonal origin.
The Biology Behind It
Fluctuations in estrogen affect the part of the brain responsible for memory and cognitive processing. When estrogen is low, you might find it harder to focus, remember words, or stay organized.
Natural Solutions
Write everything down and rely on lists during low-estrogen days.
Ensure you're eating enough healthy fats (Omega-3s) to fuel cognitive function.
Take short, frequent breaks to prevent mental fatigue from snowballing.
