Brain Power: Optimizing Brain Health for Longevity with Dr. Carla DiGirolamo

We hear it all the time—stay strong, keep your bones healthy, hit the weights. But what about your brain? For midlife women, keeping your mind sharp is just as important as keeping your body strong.In part two of this series on brain health co-hosted by Dr. Sara Gross and Dr. Erin Ayala, they are joined by Dr. Carla DiGirolamo, a Board Certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist, Reproductive Endocrinologist and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner.Hormonal shifts in midlife can impact cognitive function and it’s worth paying attention to. As both a doctor and a recreational athlete, Dr. DiGirolamo brings a personal and professional perspective to the table as she discusses what really happens to our brains during hormonal changes, why it matters, and how to stay sharp through it all.She discusses:

• The latest (and muddy) research around menopausal hormone therapy and reduced dementia risk
• Myths and misconceptions around hormones and brain health
• Powerful Tools and habits for protecting brain health
• The significant effects of nutrition and hydration on brain health
• Self-sabotaging behaviors that may impact our brain health as we age
• How to combat trendy topics and the impact of diet culture on women at this stage of life

Understanding your own body is the key to making smart and confident decisions about your health and as Erin and Carla stress, being “empowered” doesn’t mean doing what everyone else is doing. It means paving your own way and making the decisions that are best for you. Your brain will thank you.
