About this session
Brain fog is a common way of describing changes such as forgetfulness, reduced concentration, slower recall, difficulty finding words or feeling mentally less clear.
These experiences can occur during perimenopause and menopause and may feel more noticeable when sleep is disrupted or fatigue is high.
Cognitive changes can affect meetings, presentations, complex tasks, learning, decision-making and confidence. They can also create anxiety that ordinary lapses mean someone is becoming less capable, even when their knowledge, judgment and professional experience remain intact.
This session helps participants understand possible contributors, reduce unnecessary cognitive load and build practical systems for demanding working days.
It also clarifies when persistent, worsening or unusual symptoms deserve professional assessment rather than being attributed automatically to menopause.
