In today’s episode, we’re diving into an essential topic for women in perimenopause and postmenopause: creating a personal toxin-free toolkit for cognitive health.
As we navigate hormonal shifts during this stage of life, our brains become more vulnerable to external factors, like environmental toxins. These hidden disruptors—found in everything from plastics to cleaning products—can interfere with hormones, increase oxidative stress, and contribute to issues like brain fog, memory lapses, and even long-term cognitive decline.
But here’s the good news: you have the power to reduce your exposure to these toxins and protect your brain. This episode is all about empowerment. We’ll break down:
What environmental toxins are and how they affect cognitive health.Why neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and hormonal interference are especially important for women in midlife.Practical, science-backed steps to create a toxin-free home and lifestyle that supports your mental clarity and overall wellness.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools to make small, meaningful changes that can have a big impact on your brain health. Plus, I’ll share stories, research, and actionable tips to get you started today.
So, grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let’s build your toxin-free toolkit for better cognitive health and a sharper, more vibrant mind!
