😶🌫️ Menopause Brain Fog – Trending Talk & Relief Tips
More and more women are speaking up about brain fog during menopause — a sudden forgetfulness, mental fatigue or trouble concentrating. It’s become a major conversation lately as awareness grows about how hormones, especially declining estrogen levels, can impact brain function.
The good news? While it’s frustrating, brain fog can be managed with lifestyle changes, especially with a plant-based approach!
🥗 3 Plant-Based Foods to Combat Brain Fog Naturally
- Leafy Greens (Kale, Spinach, Arugula)
These greens are packed with folate and antioxidants, which improve cognitive function and help protect brain cells. Try a daily green smoothie or toss arugula into a quinoa bowl for a refreshing brain boost. - Omega-3-Rich Foods (Chia Seeds, Walnuts, Flaxseeds)
Healthy fats like Omega-3s are essential for maintaining mental clarity. Skip the fish oil and add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed to your morning oatmeal or stir chia seeds into your oats. - Berries (Blueberries, Raspberries, Strawberries)
Berries are loaded with polyphenols, known for enhancing memory and slowing cognitive decline. Snack on a bowl of fresh berries or blend them into a quick smoothie to keep your brain sharp!
Bonus Tip: Move to Improve Memory
Incorporate 20-30 minutes of movement daily—like a brisk walk or weight training—to boost blood flow to your brain and reduce mental fatigue. Combining exercise with a whole-food, plant-based diet is a powerful way to tackle brain fog head-on!

Wishing you clarity and calm this week!
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
