Brain Fog and Nutrition During Midlife Hormonal Changes
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how nutritional status affects thinking and memory problems during perimenopause (the years leading up to menopause). Researchers want to understand whether improving nutrition might help with brain fog and cognitive symptoms that many women experience during this life stage.
