Dr. Legato explains how the hormones cortisol and estrogen affect a woman's ability to concentrate and retain information.
Dr. Legato:
Women with high cortisol levels have trouble concentrating and remembering. Estrogen levels that are too low impair our ability to think clearly and certainly impact memory and the "Where did I leave my glasses and my car keys," is often alleviated by hormone treatment in the post-menopausal patient.
