I'm Karen.
Mama never prepared me for menopause.
I had a great supplement program that helped my allergies and PMS. I thought I would sail through menopause. I didn't really have any hot flashes. The biggest surprise? Feeling like I was losing my mind. My memory flew out the window. I was afraid to tell anyone, certainly not co-workers or clients!
How could I tell them:
- sometimes I couldn't remember their names, even if I'd known them for years
- I was losing my sense of direction when driving
- dropping words and thoughts mid-sentence - in a business meeting!
- forgetting the steps in a project, looking like I had dropped the ball
- why did I walk in the room again?
It was terrifying! Was dementia in my future? For most of my life I had an excellent memory, and although I would struggle with focus (thanks, ADD!). Still, I was a high-performing adult. I helped run grassroots organizations, grew my home business, homeschooled my 5 children (that's a story, right there!), active in church and all the family things. But now, trying to remember the simplest things that used to be easy, became a stressful challenge. In desperation, I turned to ADD medication to try to get some control over the focus and memory issues.
It was about that time I was introduced to a couple of nootropics that made an unbelievable change in my brain function. Within a few days, I started feeling more like me and my memory improved! My mojo was coming back! I never got another prescription refill.
Fast forward and now I'm in my 60's and feel like I'm in my 40's - without the menopause challenges! My memory came back and my focus isn't perfect, but it's good! I've been down the road and I can help you navigate and find the right balance for you. You can get your memory and focus and energy back!
