In this episode of Healthy Her, host Amelia Phillips unpacks one of the most common (and frustrating!) impacts of perimenopause – BRAIN FOG – with world-renowned neuroscientist Dr Sarah McKay.

From poor concentration to forgetfulness and simple words, like fork, dissolving in mid-air, mid-conversation, they discuss the cognitive changes that occur in midlife and why. And Dr Sarah provides strategies to get you back to the sharp, witty, vibrant woman you know you are.

About the guest:

Dr Sarah McKay is an Oxford-trained neuroscientist, author, speaker and educator whose work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, women’s brain health and real life.
