Wordsmith World has published "Dancing Through Menopause," by Betty Johansen, addressing the brain fog and forgetfulness affecting 60% of menopausal women through evidence-based lifestyle interventions, including nutrition, exercise, and sleep optimization strategies.
-- Wordsmith World's recently announced book addresses the cognitive challenges that affect approximately 60% of women during perimenopause and menopause. Brain fog and forgetfulness represent widespread symptoms that disrupt daily functioning, yet evidence-based resources offering holistic solutions remain scarce. "Dancing Through Menopause" fills that gap by presenting a lifestyle-centered methodology grounded in scientific research, targeting memory lapses and mental clarity alongside other menopausal transitions.

Research from the University of Cambridge published in January 2026 demonstrates that menopause is linked to documented declines in memory, thinking speed, and lower gray matter volume in brain regions associated with Alzheimer's disease. These neurological changes underscore the seriousness of cognitive symptoms during this transition, transforming the conversation from anecdotal complaints of brain fog and forgetting why they have opened the fridge to measurable brain health concerns.
Women's health experts have responded to the findings by highlighting that lifestyle interventions—including physical activity, diet, and cognitive training—show promise in mitigating cognitive decline during menopause, with some studies indicating measurable improvements in memory and executive function. It is this holistic approach to exercise, nutrition and mental health that Johansen promotes in her book.
The resource highlights a number of steps women can take, such as aerobic exercise, which has been shown to increase the size of the hippocampus in older adults, a brain region important for memory, at a time when it would typically decrease in volume. Strength training can also improve brain structure and cognitive function in postmenopausal women.
Dietary patterns rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats, such as the Mediterranean diet, are associated with better cognitive outcomes. These evidence-backed strategies form the foundation of Johansen's methodology, positioning the book as a bridge between peer-reviewed science and practical application.
The book's integrated approach also includes advice on resting both mind and body. The "dancing through menopause" philosophy encourages women to view menopause as an opportunity for renewal rather than decline, reframing this life stage with confidence. Chapters on emotional wellness acknowledge mood swings and emotional shifts with sensitivity, offering the book as both practical guide and supportive companion.
Designed specifically for women approaching or experiencing menopause who seek natural strategies for cognitive symptoms like brain fog and memory issues, "Dancing Through Menopause" addresses the emotional dimensions of navigating this transition.
