Concentration problems

This is sometimes called “brain fog.” The drop in estrogen can affect your memory, concentration, and mental clarity. Not dangerous, but at times quite annoying to live with!

Why this lack of concentration?

Estrogen helps our brain function efficiently. It supports memory, mental clarity, and neural connections.

• When estrogen levels drop, the brain’s messengers can be disrupted.
• Stress, lack of sleep, or anxiety can make this mental fog even worse.
  And age also plays a role: the brain naturally changes over time.

What you may experience

• Difficulty following a conversation
• Frequent forgetfulness
• Feeling of an “empty head”
• Less motivation to read or think
• Trouble staying focused for long periods

Helpful habits to regain your mental power

• Sleep 7 to 9 hours per night
• Move regularly (walking/jogging, dancing, yoga…)
• Meditate or breathe deeply to calm the mind
• Do one thing at a time and take regular breaks
• Stimulate your brain (reading, games, learning new things…)
• Find what recharges you (friends, nature, sports, family, laughter…)

Supporting brain function through nutrition

• Have your vitamin D levels checked
• Consume omega 3 every day (small fatty fish, flaxseeds, …)
• Stay well hydrated
• Avoid blood sugar spikes! Large fluctuations in blood sugar can cause temporary cognitive issues. Monitoring your glucose with Nenu Balance is a powerful way to understand how your body reacts to food and make changes that boost mental clarity, energy, and long-term health.

Do you recognize yourself?

You are not alone. Even in the fog, there are guiding lights. These simple habits can make a real difference.
