The theme of this year’s World Menopause Day is cognition, so I’ve invited the wonderful Dr Sabina Brennan back to chat to us, because there is no better woman to help us with the cognitive challenges of the menopause

She’s a chartered health psychologist, neuroscientist, host of the Super Brain podcast and author of two fantastic books: 100 Days to A Younger Brain and Beating Brain Fog. There’s no one better to help us tackle the subject of brain health!

Brain fog, poor memory and loss of concentration and focus can significantly affect women during the menopause but fear not, because, in this episode, Sabina is full of practical advice on how to keep your brain and your neurotransmitters firing on all cylinders.

We discuss the ageing brain and how to keep it healthy and agile through novelty, variety, diet and lifestyle. It’s very encouraging to learn that our behaviours and our lifestyle choices can directly influence our brain health and smart choices can make a material difference to our cognitive function.

Sabina is full of practical advice and simple everyday strategies that we can apply to keep our brain in great shape through menopause and beyond.

If you enjoy the podcast, please give it 5-star rating and a short review on Apple podcasts, or whichever platform you listen on. And do tell your friends and family about it too. I’d be so grateful, because it really does make a huge difference to the visibility of the podcast, so that more women can find the show. After all, every woman deserves to have a happy menopause.
