## What is BDNF, and why is supporting it through diet valuable?

I’m sorry, I don’t have any information on BDNF in the materials provided here.

If you are interested in how diet supports brain health during perimenopause and menopause, we do have helpful resources on the gut brain axis and how fiber, probiotics, and stress management impact mood and cognitive function.
