What happens to the female brain in midlife is one of the least talked-about and most misunderstood health issues of our time. The slips in memory, the fog, the sudden loss of focus can feel alarming. But they’re not random, and they’re not a sign you’re broken, they’re a sign of change.
In this episode, Dr. Lisa Mosconi, a leading neuroscientist who has dedicated her life’s work to studying women’s brains, bestselling author, and Director of the Women’s Brain Initiative at Weill Cornell Medicine, shares new findings from CARE, the first global study of its kind on women’s brains. Her research reveals why menopause marks a turning point for brain health, why women are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s, and what science says can change that trajectory.
You’ll learn:
- How to tell the difference between brain fog and early signs of cognitive decline
- Why the drop in estrogen changes how the brain uses energy and what to do about it
- The window of time when hormone therapy may protect long-term brain health
- Foods and nutrients proven to support memory and focus in midlife
- Daily habits, from hydration to movement, that reduce risk and improve clarity
This is the conversation every woman deserves. Get the clarity, science, and solutions from one of the world’s leading experts on women’s brain health.
