Have you ever walked into a room and completely forgotten why you went in there, or found yourself staring blankly in the middle of a sentence because you just cannot find the word? You’re NOT alone — and it doesn't mean you are losing your mind. In this episode of Mind Your Midlife, scientist, researcher, and health coach Dr. Christine Boev joins Cheryl to dive deep into the real brain science behind perimenopause and menopause brain fog .
What You’ll Learn:
✔ The surprising root cause of brain fog and cognitive decline in midlife: Systemic Inflammation
✔ Why Alzheimer's is now being called "Type 3 Diabetes" and how insulin resistance directly impacts your brain cells
✔ The 30-Day Reset: How to pull back the curtain on inflammation by temporarily eliminating the four main culprits
✔ Why Creatine Monohydrate is the #1 inexpensive, safe, and effective daily supplement for midlife women's brain health
✔ The truth about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): How estradiol and progesterone physically wash the "icky stuff" (like amyloid plaques) out of your brain during deep sleep
🎯 OMG Moment:
Your brain consumes the majority of glucose and requires the most amount of insulin than any other organ in your body. Brain fog is simply your brain saying, "I can't do what you're asking me to do."
Take Action Today:
Connect with @DrChristineBoev at mastermenopause.com and on social media @DrChristineBoev.
Reframe Your Food: Stop calling it a "diet" and start calling it a "fueling plan." You wouldn't put dirty gas in a sports car; treat your body with the same respect.
Consider Creatine: Talk to your doctor about adding 5 grams of creatine monohydrate to your daily routine (like in your morning coffee) to help your brain make more energy.
Check Your Carbs: Swap carbohydrates that come in a package or a bag for natural carbs that come from the earth (like potatoes, rice, and fruit) to stabilize your blood sugar.
