Understanding Root Causes of Memory and Word-Finding Issues
Cognitive challenges often signal deeper imbalances in your body. Many women experience brain fog and word finding issues after age 35, in the peri- menopausal/menopausal time frame due to changes in hormonal levels and increases in systemic inflammation At Sayana Medical, we investigate multiple factors that can affect brain function:
