You lost the word in front of people.
Maybe it was a colleague's name - someone you've spoken to every day for four years. Maybe it was an ordinary object, and you stood in your own kitchen pointing at it. Maybe a sentence just stopped in a meeting, and five seconds went by while everyone waited.
Maybe it was a colleague's name - someone you've spoken to every day for four years. Maybe it was an ordinary object, and you stood in your own kitchen pointing at it. Maybe a sentence just stopped in a meeting, and five seconds went by while everyone waited.
And later, quietly, on your phone, you typed something into a search bar that you have not said out loud to anyone.
This book is for that.
What's actually happening - and what isn't
Perimenopause changes how your brain retrieves words, holds new information and sustains attention. That change is real, it is measurable, and it is far smaller than it feels. This book shows you exactly how small, exactly why it lands so hard on a job that runs on fast word retrieval, and - in a chapter written specifically for the 1am version of you - how doctors actually tell ordinary midlife fog apart from something that needs an appointment.
Then it separates the pile
Brain fog is almost never one thing. It is usually three or four things stacked: a thyroid that quietly drifted, an iron level that fell when your periods got heavy, an over-the-counter sleep aid costing you more than it gives, weeks of broken sleep, and a low hum of fear eating the mental capacity you were about to use. Pull two of those off the pile and the whole thing lightens. Most women can pull two off.
Inside:
It will not cure your brain fog; nobody can. It will not tell you to buy a supplement - there are no product recommendations and no affiliate links anywhere in these pages. It does not assume you have money, time, or a good doctor. Every recommendation is free or nearly free.
Written for a woman between about 40 and 55 who wants to know what is happening and exactly what to do about it this week.
This book is for that.

Pull two of those off the pile and the whole thing lightens. Most women can pull two off.
Inside:
- The honest science, including the study everybody quotes and almost everybody gets backwards
- Is this dementia? - the forgetting-what versus forgetting-how test, the red flags that genuinely warrant an appointment, and the reassurance that is actually true
- The 14-day Fog Map: sixty seconds a day, on paper, that tells you more than any supplement will in a year
- The rule-out list - thyroid, B12, ferritin, your medicine cabinet, sleep apnoea, hearing, migraine, mood - and the exact words to ask for each one
- Sleep, the biggest lever you have, and the free protocol with better evidence than anything else in this book
- A word-finding toolkit: eight tactics and the exact sentences to say out loud when the word vanishes
- Brain fog at work: scripts for meetings, presenting with a safety net, and an honest look at whether to tell your manager
- Hormone therapy and your brain - what the big trials actually found, without evangelism in either direction
- The appointment: one page to hand over, and what to do when you are dismissed
- 31 charts, tables and checklists
It will not cure your brain fog; nobody can. It will not tell you to buy a supplement - there are no product recommendations and no affiliate links anywhere in these pages. It does not assume you have money, time, or a good doctor. Every recommendation is free or nearly free.
Written for a woman between about 40 and 55 who wants to know what is happening and exactly what to do about it this week.
