Understanding Brain Fog and Its Implications
Brain fog, often dismissed as a normal part of motherhood, can indicate deeper issues related to brain health. Hormonal changes, particularly after childbirth, can significantly contribute to cognitive challenges, which many women experience without recognizing their impact. The co-founders of Make Time Wellness emphasize the need to understand these symptoms as potential indicators of brain health stagnation rather than mere inconveniences. Addressing brain fog proactively may allow women to mitigate risks of more severe neurological conditions in the future.
