In this episode of Moving Through Menopause, I am joined by Natalie McKenzie, a Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapist and Certified Brain Injury Specialist Trainer.

We discuss the relationship between brain health and menopause. Did you know that hormonal fluctuations can impact the brain and cognition (thinking)? Challenges like brain fog, memory issues arise and fatigue.

Natalie shares insights from her extensive experience in brain injury rehabilitation and offers tips to help women feel confident and empowered during menopause.

Learn about the importance of cognitive health, some effective coping strategies, and the benefits of activities like learning new skills, journaling, and maintaining social connections.

Tune in for an enlightening conversation packed with valuable advice for better cognitive well-being.
