Menopause minus the myths: Flourishing in spite of the fog with Dr. Sandra Belfry
Did you know perimenopause can start up to 10 years before full menopause, bringing significant changes to your mood, sleep, and cognitive function?
In Episode 38 of Happiness on Demand, forensic psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Joan Neehall is joined by Dr. Sandra Belfry, a licensed clinical neuropsychologist and clinical psychologist practicing in Ontario. Together, they clear up the myths surrounding menopause and perimenopause, diving deep into how reproductive transitions affect women's brain health, mood, and identity.
Dr. Belfry explains the science of "brain fog" (including verbal memory changes and executive function shifts) and how evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) can help women manage sleep interruptions, navigate role transitions, and regain confidence.
