#925: Ariel Garten - Perimenopause Brain Changes And How to Take Back Control

Neuroscientist and Muse co-founder Ariel Garten joins us for a deep dive into the brain during perimenopause and menopause — anxiety spikes, mood swings, sleep breakdowns, night sweats, you name it. Ariel explains what’s actually happening neurologically, how meditation retrains the stress response, and why real-time neurofeedback helps women get better sleep, calm anxiety loops, and regulate the nervous system. We also explore how midlife hormones impact cognition, how to break the “sleep anxiety spiral,” and how tools like Muse improve focus, deep sleep, and emotional regulation. Perfect for women navigating brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, and hormone chaos.
