The Dr Louise Newson Podcast · 62 – How hormones change your brain - Dr Jay Jagannathan · 30 Apr 2026 podcast

And by the time she was two years old, was able to have pretty much normal vision, you know?

So there is a...

a degree to develop there.

But obviously that does change as time goes on.

But I think you're absolutely right that the overall functionality of the brain is incredible and it does change.

And, you know, that's something that we utilize for our benefit as well in terms of treatment and other things as patients get older.

Sure.

So there's an umbrella, you know, I'm listening to your podcast.

You use the term brain fog, which is a common term that people use in relation to menopause.

And there are several areas that may play a role in that.

I mean, I think number one, decreasing estrogen level has been shown to affect glucose levels in the brain.

As we know, throughout the body, glucose is an extremely important tool that the body uses for energy production.

And that's extremely important in the brain as well.

That's why when somebody, we have an athlete and, you know, they're kind of losing energy, you give them a drink, a Gatorade or something like that to help with that.

So that's one factor there.

Studies have also shown that structurally the brain changes with respect to decrease in estrogen.

Specifically, studies in the past couple of years looking at functional MRI treatments have shown that gray matter areas in the brain, the gray matter is the area that contains neurons.

The neurons are what fire that help us control the brain activity, the cells.

supposedly the circuitry of the brain itself, that those tend to diminish as the estrogen levels tend to go down.

And then there's also changes that happen with respect to neurotransmitters themselves.
