Brain fog isn’t always about hormones alone.

Sometimes, it’s your nervous system crying out for a pause.

One of the simplest shifts? Guarding your transitions, those moments when you move from one thing to the next.

Taking 2 minutes between work and dinner, or before bed, to breathe, stretch, or step outside gives your brain the signal to reset.

Small pauses add up to clearer thinking.

It’s easy to get annoyed at yourself when the fog sets in. The sticky brain, the slow recall, the constant “what was I just doing?” moments.

But here’s a softer truth: your brain isn’t failing. It’s adapting.
Perimenopause asks a lot from your body, and brain fog is simply one of the ways it shows up.

What helps most isn’t self-criticism, but kindness. Give yourself credit for all the things that your brain is carrying at any given time - that in itself is pretty amazing! Then give yourself a break - your brain has earned it.

If brain fog has been leaving you feeling unlike yourself — scattered, forgetful, or just not as sharp — you don’t have to keep pushing through it alone.

Hormones might be part of the picture, but they don’t get the final say. With the right care, your focus and clarity can absolutely come back.

If this sounds like what you’ve been going through, I’d love to support you. 💛

Brain fog isn’t just about forgetting things.
It can be searching for a simple word, losing focus halfway through a task, or feeling like every decision is heavier than it should be.

It’s not that your brain is broken, it’s working hard to adjust to shifts in hormones, gut function and inflammation.

When you understand the “why” behind it, it suddenly makes so much more sense. And that understanding takes away the blame you’ve been putting on yourself.

Brain fog doesn’t usually hit like a lightning bolt.
It sneaks in quietly… forgetting why you opened the fridge, reading the same line five times, or misplacing your phone when it’s in your hand.

At first, you laugh it off. But after a while, it starts to feel frustrating, even unsettling. And if you’ve ever thought, “this just isn’t me,” you’re not imagining it.

So many women notice these shifts in perimenopause. You’re not alone in it, and the fog isn’t permanent. With the right support, clarity can come back.

Have you ever been mid-conversation and suddenly lose track of what you were saying? Or realise your friend’s been talking and you’ve completely zoned out?

It can make you feel guilty or disconnected, but here’s the thing, it’s not that you don’t care. It’s that your brain is trying to keep up with hormonal changes.

Even saying out loud, “sorry, my brain fog’s having a moment,” can take the pressure off and lighten the mood.

This is more common than most women realise, and talking about it helps it feel a bit less heavy.

1. Calcium Absorption 🥦
Some gut bacteria help your body absorb calcium and magnesium—vital minerals for strong bones.

Poor gut health? You might not be absorbing them properly, even if your diet is great.

2. Inflammation Levels 🔥
An imbalanced gut can trigger chronic inflammation.
This inflammation can interfere with the cells that build and repair bone tissue.

3. Hormone Balance 💃
Your microbiome helps regulate oestrogen—key for bone density, especially in perimenopause and menopause.

When your gut’s out of whack, so is your hormonal support for healthy bones.

🦠 Gut health is about so much more than bloating.
It’s the foundation for strong bones, balanced hormones & long-term wellness.

Perimenopause is a crucial time to start prioritising bone health and Vitamin D is super important!!

So hard to produce enough in winter that’s why I jump out in the sunshine whenever I can, like I did this afternoon when the sun finally came out in Sydney.

Vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium in the intestines and helps direct it into the bones - so important as there is a sharp decline in bone mineral density with menopause 🌞🌞🌞

What does your nervous system have to do with IBS? A lot.

IBS isn’t just a gut issue — it’s a gut-brain issue. Here’s how your nervous system plays a role:

🔄 Gut-Brain Axis: Your gut and brain are constantly chatting via nerves, hormones & the microbiome. In IBS, that chat turns into a miscommunication

⚡ Nervous System on High Alert: The gut becomes hypersensitive — things that wouldn’t normally hurt (like gas or digestion) can feel painful or bloated

😬 Stress = Symptom Flare: Chronic stress keeps your nervous system in “fight or flight” mode, slowing digestion and affecting motility

🧘‍♀️ Support it naturally: Calming herbs, slow breathing, mindful eating & nervous system toning (like vagus nerve work) can make a real difference

✨ IBS is more than just what you eat — it’s also how your body responds. Calming the gut often starts with calming the mind.

🧐 Been told you have IBS?

Here’s my honest advice: don’t stop there.

'IBS' is often a catch-all label for gut symptoms without exploring the root cause. I regularly see clients with an IBS diagnosis who actually have:

🔍 SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
🔬 Gut dysbiosis
🦠 Parasitic infections
🌾 Non-coeliac gluten sensitivity
🧠 Even thyroid issues!
✨ IBS isn’t the end of the story — it’s the beginning of an investigation.

If your gut symptoms aren’t improving, it’s time to dig deeper with functional testing and someone who knows how to interpret it.

HERBAL TEAS can be superstars when reflux and heartburn hit in peri/menopause...

A soothing and non-irritating way to deliver herbal anti-inflammatories, my fave herbal teas to sip throughout the day for reflux include Meadowsweet, Chamomile, Calendula, Marshmallow and Licorice (if high blood pressure isn't a problem, otherwise avoid this one). 🌿🌿☕☕
