Clear the Fog: 5 Ways to Get Your Focus Back


Hi Reader,

Ever walked into a room and thought… “Wait, why am I here?” Or sat in a meeting and the words you needed just disappeared? That’s brain fog. And during menopause, it’s more common than most people realise.

The good news is there are ways to clear the fog and feel sharp again:

  1. Stay hydrated — even mild dehydration can cloud your thinking
  2. Prioritise sleep — your brain runs on rest, even if menopause makes it tricky
  3. Nourish with the right foods — balanced meals steady your focus
  4. Keep moving — exercise boosts oxygen flow to your brain
  5. Practice mindfulness — a few minutes of breathing can reset the chaos

Simple, right? But when life is already demanding, knowing how to actually put these into practice is what makes the difference.

That’s exactly what I’ll be sharing in my upcoming masterclass:
