How Hormones Affect Cognition
Do you keep forgetting names or having difficulty finding correct words? Or maybe you keep ‘losing’ your keys? Has maintaining focus become difficult? Memory loss and reduced concentration during perimenopause and menopause are very common and unfortunate results of compromised hormones but there is a solution.
Estrogen plays a very important role in cognition by stimulating the many parts of the brain where estrogen docking sites are present. In addition, estrogen helps development of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and acetylcholine, which are involved in mood, focus and memory. As women’s estrogen levels reduce during menopausal transition, so does the stimulation of these important neurotransmitters. In addition, as women lose estrogen, we also become more prone to stress and anxiety, which also have negative effect on memory, cognition and focus.
There is no need to live in a fog however, as hormonal optimization treatment is effective in treating the issues underlying these symptoms and can bring your mental sharpness back to normal.
