Brain Fog or Brain Drained?

If you are navigating perimenopause and scrolling to decompress, there are two things happening at once that nobody is talking about together. This episode connects those dots WITH the research to back it up.

Dr Cassandre Dunbar dives into the impact social media is having on our brains, what that means for those of us experiencing perimenopause, and how to reverse the effects! In this episode, we discuss: What short-form content actually does to your dopamine system and why it is not a willpower problem The neuroscience of the scroll: theta brainwaves, the prefrontal cortex, and measurable attention decline Why the perimenopausal brain and the algorithm create a compounding problem Supplements with real research behind them for brain health during the transition The specific labs to ask your doctor for because "your results look normal" is only as useful as what was actually ordered CLICK HERE to get your free Brain Health Resource Guide with all the products and studies mentioned in this episode!
