Low iron linked to brain fog in perimenopause, but diet fixes may help without risky drugs
Briefly

A study from the University of Oklahoma highlights that many women experiencing brain fog during perimenopause may be suffering from an iron imbalance rather than hormonal issues. Even with 'normal' iron levels, cognitive decline can occur if iron isn't optimized. The study suggests that dietary changes, utilizing natural iron sources like oysters and spinach, can effectively enhance cognitive function without the risks associated with hormone replacement therapy. This research underscores the need for better awareness and testing of iron levels in perimenopausal women instead of relying solely on hormonal treatments, which often overlook nutritional deficiencies.
Millions of women battling brain fog during perimenopause may be suffering needlessly-not from a hormone deficiency, but from an easily corrected iron imbalance.
Even women with "normal" iron levels can suffer cognitive decline if their iron isn't optimized, but dietary adjustments can restore mental clarity without risky pharmaceuticals.
