The Wisdom of the Menopause Brain with Lisa Mosconi
Manage episode 409409831 series 2391351
In this must-listen episode I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Lisa Mosconi, a leading neuroscientist and author of The Menopause Brain, and my friend, back to On Health to demystify the profound impact of menopause on the female brain. Dr. Mosconi offers invaluable insights into how menopause is more than a hormonal shift - it's a significant neuroendocrine change, and a potentially very important and powerful time in our lives.
We dive deep into:
- How perimenopause and menopause really impacts the female brain - including the role of estrogen during this time
- Common cognitive symptoms of perimenopause and menopause including brain fog, sleep problems, and memory lapses
- Why it might be that women in cultures that see menopause more positively have fewer symptoms
- The powerful role 'older women' can play as leaders, providers, and guides in families, communities, and society
- The pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including it’s role in Alzheimer’s prevention
- The supportive role of nutrients, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids for women's brain health
- The importance of access to a wide variety of options so that we can pick what's best for us in feeling our best in menopause.
Knowledge is power. Understanding menopause's impact on the brain allows us to make informed choices, turning a phase often approached with dread into an opportunity for empowerment and well-being. Join us to transform how you think about menopause and prioritize your brain health through this pivotal time - whatever age you are - because it’s never too early to start protecting your beautiful brain!
