OPTIMIZE YOUR BRAIN
Midlife women age 40-55 top brain complaints
Whether you are a business executive, a career woman with a demanding job, or a busy mom managing kids and a household, you rely on mental prowess to keep up with the demands of work, family, and life. Unfortunately, many women find themselves struggling with attention deficit, brain fog, and forgetfulness as they hit peri-menopause and menopause.
Here are the top complaints for midlife women age 40-55:
- Attention deficit disorder (A.D.D.)
- Brain fog
- Forgetfulness, memory lapses
- Mood swings
- Anxiety, overwhelm
- Depression
Are you masking your brain symptoms with drugs?
The standard approach in conventional medicine is to prescribe attention-deficit drugs or anti-depressants for women with brain complaints. Common drugs for brain symptoms include:
- Adderall
- Vyvanse
- Ritalin
- Lexapro
- Zoloft
- Effexor
- Cymbalta
- Pristiq
Many women experience unwanted, unpleasant side-effects. Common side-effects of attention-deficit drugs include reduced appetite, increased fatigue, increased anxiety, and difficulty sleeping. Common side-effects of anti-depressants include increased fatigue, sexual dysfunction, difficulty sleeping, lack of motivation and apathy.
Many women also found that the medications stop working after awhile, leaving them even more frustrated. This commonly occurs because the underlying issues that are causing the brain symptoms have not been addressed.
Your brain needs more than estrogen and progesterone
With the hype around hormone replacement therapy (HRT), many midlife women age 40-55 with brain fog, memory changes, and mood seek out hormone replacement therapy (HRT) from their regular doctors with high hopes that estrogen and progesterone will fix their brain symptoms.
This can work for a small subset of women. But the majority of women will continue to have brain symptoms because their underlying brain dysfunction requires more than estrogen and progesterone. Brain symptoms are red flags of neurological decline and the reduced ability of your brain to heal and repair as you age. This is where it is critical to work with a functional medicine and women's health specialist like Dr. Van who digs deeper and who looks at the whole picture to help you understand YOUR central nervous system imbalances and fix them.
