Brain fog - please help!

Firstly I’ll admit I always heard the term brain fog and inwardly rolled my eyes 🤦‍♀️. But I can’t think of any other way to describe the way I feel

Ive always had a very quick good memory, could recall names of films or people or really anything reliably and quickly.

Recently (last few months) I feel like my head is full of wool. I’m hunting around for phrases during meetings, my brain just feels slower? I was playing the logo game with the kids yesterday and it felt like 50% of the words were in the tip of my tongue but I just couldn’t get there fast enough.

Im 40 in a few months…is this just aging? Peri-menopause? Stress? How do you fix it?!

All sorts of possible reasons
stress
peri menapause
depression
lack of sleep
Vitamin D3 deficiency
B12 Deficiency
magnesium deficiency
probably other dietry imbalance can also be implicated
