Many women experience brain fog during menopause, but it's important to know that brain fog, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease are not the same.

Understanding the difference can reduce fear and help women make informed decisions about their brain health.

There is still so much to learn about how menopause may influence long-term brain health. That's why evidence-based menopause research and the funding behind it are so important.

How do we know the best options for managing hot flushes and night sweats?

Because there have been years of research looking at the effectiveness of treatments, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also known as Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT), is the gold standard, but not everyone can take it.

Research has now brought us non-hormonal options that act on the body's temperature regulation system. These deliver more options to those who struggle with these symptoms.

And research has shown that lifestyle is important, with exercise, weight management, reducing stress and alcohol intake, quitting smoking, and eating well that could help relieve them, too.

Without research, we wouldn't have these products or this information. Research helps make lives better.

Q: What can HRT actually help with, and what can't it do?

Many women wonder what HRT can realistically help with during menopause and where its benefits end.

In this short video, Dr. Pauline Maki explains what the evidence tells us about HRT, including what it can and cannot do. Conversations like these highlight why ongoing menopause research matters. The more we learn, the better equipped women and healthcare professionals are to make informed decisions.

Many women notice changes in memory, focus, or mental clarity during menopause. These experiences are common, but we still don't have all the answers.

That's why early intervention matters. The sooner we understand how menopause affects the brain, the sooner we can improve care, support earlier diagnosis, and provide healthcare professionals with stronger evidence to guide treatment.

Researchers continue to explore the links between menopause, cognition, mental health, Alzheimer's disease risk, and long-term brain health. Every new discovery brings us one step closer to better outcomes for women.

If this is a future you'd like to see, we invite you to learn more about the work of the Menopause Research and Education Fund and how you can help advance menopause research.

Brain fog during menopause is real, and it's more common than most of us realise.

In this clip, Fiona Clark from the Menopause Research and Education Fund and Prof. Aimee Spector discuss a promising approach to managing it.

One study found that brain fog affects 86% of women going through menopause, often bringing a loss of confidence and real anxiety about job performance. It's a major reason why up to 1 in 10 women reduce hours, change jobs, or leave work altogether.

The encouraging part? Prof. Spector's research points to practical tools that can help us cope better and stay at work, at a stage when we're actually at the peak of our executive functioning. MREF is proud to be supporting Prof. Spector's brain fog research project as part of our commitment to advancing menopause science.
