If you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, or supporting someone who is, Meera shares evidence based guidance and real life strategies to help you feel empowered, educated, and in control of your health.


Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • What is 'brain fog'?
  • How do oestrogen and progesterone impact memory, focus, and mental clarity?
  • Are these changes permanent, or does the brain adjust over time?
