Menopause is a brain transition, and most women are navigating it without a map.

Dr. Manna Semby is a naturopathic and functional medicine doctor specializing in the menopausal transition, brain health, and cognitive resilience. A former Wall Street professional turned clinician, she helps midlife women understand what is actually happening in their bodies, protect their cognitive edge, and get themselves back.

Dr. Manna’s clinical approach uses advanced lab testing, the ReCODE protocol for dementia prevention, and a systems-level framework built around seven pillars:

  • heart health
  • metabolic health
  • sleep
  • stress management
  • movement
  • nutrients and hormones
  • toxins and infections

Her specialty is personalized plans designed to protect the second half of life, not just survive the transition.

Dr. Manna is the only ReCODE-trained menopause doctor in San Diego.

Ask Dr. Manna during GURU hours:

  • Why does perimenopause feel like a brain problem. What is happening in the brain?

  • What is the difference between brain fog and early cognitive decline and how do I know the difference?

  • What labs should every midlife woman actually be getting, and what do the results mean?

  • Is HRT safe? What does science say after the WHI?

  • What can I do right now to protect my brain health for the next 30 years?

Why she’s an expert:

Dr. Manna holds a doctorate in naturopathic medicine from Bastyr University California and is certified by the Menopause Society, the Institute for Functional Medicine, and as a ReCODE 2.0 practitioner, the most rigorous available training in Alzheimer’s prevention and cognitive decline reversal. She has delivered a TEDx talk on perimenopause, spoken at the San Diego Women’s Week Leadership Conference, the HBA Think Tank, and the AANP Convention, and works with organizations on the cognitive and biological dimensions of workforce performance.

Her clinical practice, Aruna Personalized Medicine, and her organizational consulting practice, the Center for Cognitive Resilience, are both based in Carlsbad, CA.
