Your skin isn't imagining it. It really is drier. ☕
One of the quiet effects of perimenopause and menopause is a natural drop in hyaluronic acid — the stuff that keeps skin, joints, and tissue hydrated. As oestrogen falls, so does this, and a lot of women notice it before anyone tells them why.
This week's Coffee & Menopause newsletter breaks down what may help support it naturally, no gimmicks.

A few honest notes though:
✨ Supplements can support your body, but they’re not a replacement for the foundations — sleep, movement, nutrition, and stress management (the stuff we talk about here every week!)
✨ Everyone’s body is different, and some supplements can interact with medications, so please have a chat with your GP or pharmacist before starting anything new
✨ Blood tests can actually tell you what you’re deficient in, rather than guessing and taking things “just in case”

What we eat is important durning perimenopause and menopause,adding sweet potatoes to our diet can work really well.

Are you drinking enough water?

Sometimes we can forget the basics.
We know we should, but sometimes the day is over and we realise we forgot again.

I set an alarm to remind me of certain things I need to remember.

5 Small Changes to Help Clear Brain Fog (Perimenopause Edition)

Brain fog isn’t a personal failing — it’s hormonal, and there are small, practical things you can start today:

🧠 Move your body for 10 minutes, especially in the morning — even a short walk increases blood flow to the brain and boosts the same neurotransmitters that estrogen normally helps regulate.

🧠 Hydrate before you caffeinate — mild dehydration alone can mimic brain fog symptoms (poor concentration, sluggish thinking), and perimenopause already makes you more prone to fluid shifts.🧠 Do one task at a time, not five — multitasking taxes working memory hardest when hormonal fluctuations have already narrowed your mental bandwidth; single-tasking reduces that load.

🧠 Get morning sunlight within an hour of waking — this helps reset your circadian rhythm, which in turn supports the deeper sleep stages your brain needs to consolidate memory and clear mental fog.

🧠 Keep a “second brain” — write it down — externalize to-dos and details onto paper or your phone; this frees up cognitive resources instead of using willpower to hold everything in your head.

Small changes. Real science. Clearer thinking.

👉 Follow this page for tomorrow’s post: the truth about supplements and brain fog — what actually has evidence behind it.

Brain fog.

If you opened the fridge today and forgot why you were standing there... read this.

You're not losing your mind. You're not "getting worse with age." You're not broken.

That moment where a word you use every day just... vanishes mid-sentence? Hormonal.
Walking into a room and blanking on why you're there? Hormonal.

Reading the same paragraph four times and still not absorbing it? Hormonal.

Feeling like your brain is wrapped in cotton wool, especially in the afternoons? Hormonal.

This is menopause brain fog, and it is real, it is documented, and it is not a character flaw.

Here's the "why": Estrogen isn't just about your cycle—it also supports memory, focus, and how your brain uses fuel. As estrogen fluctuates and drops in perimenopause and menopause, your brain temporarily has to recalibrate, and that recalibration can feel exactly like fog.

You are not declining. You are adjusting. And this phase does not last forever.

Monday Myth or Fact?

🍷 Why does alcohol affect me more during menopause?

Have you noticed that one or two drinks don’t feel the same anymore?

During perimenopause and menopause, many women find that alcohol can:

🌸 Trigger hot flushes and night sweats
😴 Disrupt sleep, even if it helps you fall asleep
🧠 Make brain fog feel worse the next day
💗 Increase anxiety or low mood
💧 Leave you feeling more dehydrated and tired

This doesn’t mean you have to stop drinking altogether.

It’s simply about understanding how your changing hormones may affect the way your body responds.

✨ Try this:
If you’re having a drink, alternate each alcoholic drink with a glass of water and notice how you feel the next day.

Small changes can make a big difference & Understanding your body helps you make informed choices. 🌸
