A short educational YouTube video by Dr. Tabatha Barber explaining how hormonal fluctuations during the perimenopausal transition (either persistently low hormone levels or large up-and-down swings) commonly cause cognitive symptoms — especially "brain fog" — in women. The clip frames brain fog as one of the most frequent complaints tied to perimenopausal hormonal instability.
A lot of times women who are in this perimenopausal, menopausal transition, if we're struggling with these things, it's because our hormones are not where they're supposed to be. They're either, like I say, tanked. Like, they're in the garbage, they're in the gutter, they're super, super low, or you're on a roller coaster, and they're. They're being produced at high levels, and then they're dropping down into low levels. So all of this happens during the perimenopausal transition. And brain fog is one of the most common symptoms that women suffer from.
