Many women report that their “memory isn’t<br />
what it used to be” after they reach the menopause<br />
stage of life. This can be due to many<br />
different reasons. Poor sleep is a big contributor<br />
and so is high levels of stress. Also the older<br />
you get the more you have to remember so it<br />
is understandable that you forget some things.<br />

whether they might have Alzheimer’s but the risk<br />
is lessened if you eat well and look after yourself.<br />

Depression and Anxiety<br />
Depression and anxiety are closely related<br />
to the memory symptom mentioned above,<br />
they are often caused by too much stress, not<br />
enough sleep as well as the shift in hormones.<br />
Women over the age of 45 are also often questioning<br />
their life and what they will be doing<br />
in the future, if things don’t appear to be too<br />
bright this can result in feelings of depression.<br />
It is common during this stage of life for<br />
women to wake in the middle of the night with<br />
their heart beating fast and feelings of anxiety.<br />
This can be related to a sudden drop in blood<br />
glucose levels or it could be due to high levels<br />
of cortisol, whichever it is there are some steps<br />
that you can take to reduce these feelings<br />
Lifestyle<br />
Address any emotional triggers that you<br />
have around reaching this stage of life, a<br />
woman’s beliefs around aging and menopause<br />
will have a significant impact on<br />
how she deals with the changes that are<br />
happening to her body<br />
