00:00:01.876 --> 00:00:04.087
When I was dealing with brain fog
It can be really,

00:00:04.087 --> 00:00:07.298
really frustrating, and it can really take
a knock on your their confidence.

00:00:07.298 --> 00:00:09.217
I've certainly dealt with it myself.

00:00:09.217 --> 00:00:11.136
I've been very aware of it.

00:00:11.136 --> 00:00:13.596
I done a lot of little cheats
over the years

00:00:13.596 --> 00:00:16.433
in terms of writing things down
all the time, paying attention.

00:00:16.433 --> 00:00:18.977
Try to be a little more focused,
slowing down a little bit.

00:00:18.977 --> 00:00:22.522
All of those things help me kind of get
my life back in a lot of different ways.

00:00:22.647 --> 00:00:25.650
If you've ever had a hot flash,
which I later learned, that's what it was,

00:00:25.817 --> 00:00:28.361
then you know how intense that heat
can be.

00:00:28.361 --> 00:00:31.281
Alcohol and caffeine
can be triggering for hot flashes.

00:00:31.281 --> 00:00:34.868
Hormone therapy for me, has been
one of the most effective things

00:00:34.868 --> 00:00:36.786
that I've done when it comes to hot flashes.

00:00:36.786 --> 00:00:38.913
And progesterone is helpful with sleep.

00:00:38.913 --> 00:00:41.082
I think it's important to know
there are solutions for these things,

00:00:41.082 --> 00:00:42.667
you know, and not think that, oh my gosh,

00:00:42.667 --> 00:00:44.836
this is going to overwhelm
and take me over.

00:00:44.836 --> 00:00:47.255
And I think what has happened up
until now, a lot of women

00:00:47.255 --> 00:00:49.799
have been surprised by these symptoms
and they haven't known what to expect.

00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.886
When you know what's going on, that's
when you can say, okay, now what am

00:00:52.886 --> 00:00:53.762
I going to do about it?
