Thank you, Dr Mosconi Davina McCallI had never really fathomed how hormonal changes impact the brain until I read The Menopause Brain Gwyneth PaltrowThe Menopause Brain will quickly become your new best friend Halle Berry THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Menopause and perimenopause are still baffling to most doctors, leaving patients exasperated as they grapple with symptoms ranging from hot flashes to insomnia to brain fog. As a leading neuroscientist and womens brain health specialist, Dr Mosconi unravels these mysteries by revealing how menopause doesnt just impact the ovaries - its a hormonal show in which the brain takes centre stage. The decline of the hormone estrogen during menopause influences everything from body temperature to mood to memory, potentially paving the way for cognitive decline later in life. To conquer these challenges successfully, Dr. Mosconi brings us the latest approaches - explaining the role of cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies like designer estrogens, hormonal contraception and key lifestyle changes encompassing diet, exercise and self-care. Best of all, Dr Mosconi dispels the myth that menopause signifies an end, demonstrating that its actually a transition. Contrary to popular belief, if we know how to take care of ourselves during menopause, we can emerge with a renewed, enhanced brain - ushering in a meaningful and vibrant new chapter of life.
Women are far more likely than men to suffer from anxiety, depression, migraines, brain injuries, strokes and Alzheimers disease. But, until recently, scientific research has focused on bikini medicine, assuming that women are essentially men with different reproductive organs.The XX Brain presents groundbreaking research showing that womens brains age distinctly from mens, due mostly to the decline of a key brain-protective hormone: estrogen. Taking on all aspects of womens health, including brain fog, memory lapses, depression, stress, insomnia, hormonal imbalances and the increased risk of dementia, Dr. Mosconi introduces cutting-edge, evidence-based methods for protecting the female brain, encompassing diet, stress reduction and sleep. She also examines the effectiveness of hormonal replacement therapy, addresses the perils of environmental toxins and explores the role of our microbiome. Luckily, it is never too late to take care of yourself.
