🧠💬 “What’s That Word Again?”
“What’s That Word Again?” – Why Menopause Steals Our Words (or as we call it… The Menopause Thingy Syndrome 😂)
Ever said this? 👇
- “Can you pass me the… the… THE THING… you know… that thingy!”
- “I swear, I had the perfect word — then poof… it disappeared.”
- “I walked into this room for a reason… what was the reason??”
This is not stupidity.
This is not aging.
➡️ It’s your brain protecting you while hormones change!
🧪What’s Actually Happening (Real Science!)
Root Cause
How It Affects Your Brain
Estrogen drops
Estrogen supports memory + verbal recall
Cortisol spikes
Stress blocks word retrieval
Blood sugar dips
Brain loses energy mid-sentence
Poor sleep
Memory filing cabinet doesn’t get cleaned at night
Inflammation
Slows neurotransmitter communication
Evidence:
- Estrogen receptors exist in memory & language centers of the brain — Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2020
- High cortisol reduces access to words in the temporal lobe — Biological Psychiatry Journal, 2019
⭐The Good News: Your Brain Is Not Broken — It’s Adapting
This “brain fog” happens because your body shifts from reproductive mode → survival mode.
The brain redirects energy to protect vital systems (heart, nerves, organs)… and language takes a back seat 🚗
But when we rebalance:
✔ blood sugar
✔ nutrients
✔ cortisol rhythm
✔ sleep cycles
…the words come BACK. 🧠✨

Try This
— Comment Below 👇
Finish the sentence…
“Last week I forgot the word ____, so I just called it ____.”
Example:
“I forgot the word ‘spatula’ so I just said ‘pancake flipper thing.’” 😂
Let’s see the BEST ones!!
💡Want the Words Back?
That’s exactly what we fix in Module 2 & Module 4 of the course —
→ Blood sugar regulation
→ Cortisol rhythm reset
→ Nutrient therapy for brain function (B12, choline, DHA, magnesium)
→ “Calm the inflammation
