Dr. Niotis is the Director of Parkinson's and Lew Body Dementia at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases. She is the first fellowship-trained preventive neurologist specializing in risk reduction strategies for neurodegenerative disorders. She managed the first Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical Center. We often hear about how little can be done once a person is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Lew Body Dementia, or Parkinson's to reverse the progression of the disease. What is so exciting about my conversation with Dr. Niotis is that we talk about ways that we can scientifically reduce our risk of developing Alzheimer's, Lew Body, and Parkinson's. My conversation with Dr. Niotis was so in-depth that I have divided this episode into two parts! Part 1 covered statistics on these diseases, as well as the reasons for their rise, symptoms that appear YEARS before diagnosis, and genetic testing - including who is a candidate and the pros and cons of undergoing these tests. In this episode (Part 2), we talk about all of the modifiable risk factors for dementia, from monitoring your cholesterol levels to having your hearing checked to getting the shingles vaccine. It was such an eye-opening and empowering conversation.This subject is a personal one for me having my mother-in-law having dementia before she died. After this episode, I hope you, like me, will feel like you have all of the knowledge and tools to reduce and reverse your risk of developing these diseases. This is a must-listen episode!

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Lumebox, and AquaTru.Women can spend up to 40% of their lives in menopause, and we know that they often experience changes in their mood, cognition, and overall brain health during this time. But these changes aren't discussed openly or discussed with no helpful solutions, leaving women feeling hopeless, alone, or unsupported. Today's guest is a brain researcher here to shed light on the changes during this time and what we can do to support women entering this phase. Today, on the Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Lisa Mosconi to discuss what happens to a woman's brain when she goes through menopause and the connection to Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Mosconi shares how to care for women's brains during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, how to prevent dementia and the lifestyle habits that can help women navigate the transition into menopause. Lisa Mosconi, PhD, is an associate professor of neuroscience in neurology and radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine and the director of the Women's Brain Initiative and the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.

“It's important to realize that yes, menopause can come with symptoms, but the symptoms are not alien symptoms. We've seen them before. We've seen them at puberty. We've seen them at pregnancy, if you've been pregnant. We've been there before. And I like to say that menopause is just another tune that we learn to dance to, right? We can do it. We will navigate it. The point is let's make sure that we have the right information, that we understand how it works and that we're aware of the solutions because there are so many women who decide how to navigate menopause based on information that is not unfortunately accurate, it is not up to date. So a lot of decisions are really based on fear rather than facts and then there's regret.” So says neuroscientist Lisa Mosconi, PhD, who currently has 11 grants—including four from the NIH—to study Alzheimers, menopause, and the female brain. Dr. Mosconi is an Associate Professor of Neuroscience in Neurology and Radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM), and the Director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at WCM/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. The program includes the Women's Brain Initiative, the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic, and the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinical Trials Unit.  There are many things to love about Dr. Mosconi and her work—one, that she's focused on an underserved group, i.e. women, but also because her insights dramatically expand the way we've been conditioned to understand these hormonal shifts in our lives. The picture she paints of the female brain is not only fascinating, but it's inspiring: As we age and move through stages, our brains continually remodel, becoming leaner, meaner, and more empathic. The female brain is…formidable. There are also many things we can do to make these turbulent transitions slightly smoother sailing, which we dive into throughout our conversation. Let's turn to it now.

In this episode Dr Louise is joined by world-renowned neuroscientist Dr Lisa Mosconi, PhD. Dr Lisa is Director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic and Women's Brain Initiative at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York and author of bestsellers The XX Brain and Brain Food. Dr Lisa was studying nuclear medicine and neuroscience when her grandmother and her grandmother's three sisters all developed Alzheimer's. Dr Lisa became interested in the cause of Alzheimer's and why women are more susceptible. Her research has shown that, rather than a disease of old age, it starts in midlife and menopause potentially plays a part. Dr Lisa discusses her most recent paper, which found that women who took hormones in midlife to treat their menopause symptoms were less likely to develop dementia than those who hadn't taken oestrogen. Finally, Dr Lisa shares three things to consider about female hormones: Oestrogen, and oestradiol in particular, is the master regulator of women's brains. It really is like saying that oestrogen is to your brain what fuel is for an engine. It keeps your brain running. Endogenous oestrogen (produced within your body) is different from exogenous oestrogen (synthetic). The bioidentical oestradiol is probably the best one to use because it really maps on the same circuits for your own endogenous oestrogen. I would love for all women to be able to make an informed decision about whether or not hormone therapy is a viable option for them. Many women who are eligible for HRT do not go on HRT out of fear and the fear comes from outdated information, mislabelling on some of the packages.

This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and AquaTru.Two out of every three Alzheimer's patients are women. Today, Alzheimer's is as real a threat to women's health as breast cancer is. A 45-year-old woman has a one-in-five chance of developing Alzheimer's during her remaining life, while a man of the same age only has a one-in-ten chance. What happens to women, and not to men, in midlife that could potentially trigger an Alzheimer's predisposition, and that could potentially initiate Alzheimer's?On today's mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. Lisa Mosconi to talk about the research on why women represent two-thirds of the Alzheimer's population. They discuss what happens to a woman's brain when she goes through menopause and the connection to Alzheimer's disease. They also talk about how to care for women's brains, how to prevent dementia, and the groundbreaking research that Dr. Mosconi and her team are conducting at the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic. Dr. Mosconi is the director of the Women's Brain Initiative and associate director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College, where she serves as an associate professor of neuroscience in neurology and radiology. In addition, she is an adjunct faculty member at the NYU Department of Psychiatry and the author of Brain Food and The XX Brain. In this episode we dive into: -The statistics on Alzheimer's disease, and its impact on women-The early changes we are seeing in the female brain midlife-What happens to a woman's brain when she goes through menopause-The impact of diet on our hormones and brain health-What women can do to prevent dementia Listen to the full episode here.

Did you know researchers estimate that nearly two thirds of those living with Alzheimer's in the United States are women? This week, I am joined by the Mona Lisa of Neuroscience, bestselling author, and one of the most influential scientists of our time, Dr. Lisa Mosconi. Lisa is blowing the lid off of female brain health with her groundbreaking research on cognitive enhancement and Alzheimer's prevention, specifically in women. She provides us with a full access pass into what is truly going on in the female brain as we age, and why understanding the unique risks and strengths of the XX brain is so incredibly important, no matter the year you were born. Consider this episode a roadmap to optimal, lifelong brain health.    We discuss:    The meaning of “bikini medicine,” why it hinders women's health research, and how Lisa is confronting this crisis  The protective effects of cumulative estrogen exposure and the role of hormone replacement therapy in women's brain health  How risk of memory loss and dementia can be prevented by using an integrative approach including appropriate medical care and lifestyle modifications involving diet, physical and intellectual fitness  Testing recommendations to assess brain health, the Women's Brain Initiative and therapies to prevent, delay, and, minimize the risk of Alzheimer's disease    Dr. Mosconi holds a PhD degree in Neuroscience and Nuclear Medicine and is an associate professor of Neuroscience in Neurology and Radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine/NY-Presbyterian Hospital, where she serves as director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program. The program includes the Women's Brain Initiative, the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic, and the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinical Trials Unit.

Women of African descent are more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancers than white women and are more likely to die from their disease regardless of its type or stage. For those living in remote or low-resource areas, limited access to screening and genetic testing make improving outcomes even more challenging. In this episode of our podcast, Dr. Funmi Olopade, talks about her work in Africa and Chicago, the critical importance of precision medicine, and why she’s “impatient” about eliminating barriers to breast cancer care around the world. Dr. Olopade, a BCRF investigator since 2001, serves as the founding director of the Cancer Risk and Prevention Clinic and associate dean for global health, both at the University of Chicago.

The brains of men and women are more alike than they are different. That said, there are some unique characteristics of the female brain that are highly significant.  When we fail to recognize these differences, we put women at greater risk for premature aging, cognitive decline and dementia. This episode is drawn from a radio interview Roger and I did with Robin Gunn, who hosts the Oklahoma Senior Journal radio show in Oklahoma City. We anchored the discussion around what I have learned from the book THE XX BRAIN by Lisa Mosconi, PhD. Mosconi is the director of the Women's Brain Initiative and associate director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College. With this podcast we begin to explore how women's brains differ, how those differences affect their lives and their risks for brain health problems, and what can be done to lower the risks.  Chapters: IntroductionWhy should we focus on women's brains?Do women get equal brain health treatment?Genetic differencesHormonal differencesTransformations in a woman's lifeWomen's risk of getting dementiaArtificial and natural menopauseMenopause Hormone TherapyHow woman can lower risks and discomfortConclusion

Peter is joined by writer, director, actress, and founder of HFC, Lauren Miller Rogen, and previous podcast guest and director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York-Presbyterian, Dr. Richard Isaacson. In this episode, Lauren tells the heartbreaking story of watching members of her family succumb to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) which motivated her to proactively address her own risk with Richard’s guidance. Richard discusses the various genetic and lifestyle factors that influence the risk of AD and uses Lauren’s unique situation to explain how he diagnoses patients and personalizes care. They go through Lauren’s protocol of preventative measures that have already produced marked results, and end with the uplifting message that one’s genetic predisposition does not seal one's fate. We discuss: Lauren’s deep family history of Alzheimer’s disease (3:10); The influence of genetics, epigenetics, and lifestyle on Alzheimer’s disease risk (13:45); Lauren’s mother’s disease progression and the enormous stress it causes for family members (24:30); The various manifestations of Alzheimer’s disease depending on the location of pathology (29:30); The three stages of Alzheimer's disease (34:45); Richard’s deep exploration into Lauren’s family history revealing clues about a diagnosis and a roadmap to successful disease mitigation (39:15); How exercise reduces Alzheimer’s disease risk, and the different risk between males and females (58:00); Why knowing your APOE status is important, and whether certain people should be wearier of head trauma (1:08:00); How Richard uses genetic testing to personalize care (1:14:45); The “ABCs” of Alzheimer’s prevention, lifestyle interventions, and Lauren’s personal protocol for reducing her risk (1:21:45); Unique treatment for people with the ApoE4 variant (1:36:30); Richard’s mixed opinion on CBD and THC as a tool for disease prevention (1:40:00); Cognitive testing procedures, and how Lauren’s tests furthered her commitment to her disease prevention protocol (1:41:45); The relevance of sense of smell and hearing in Alzheimer’s disease risk and prevention (1:50:00); The emotional benefit of knowing you have control over your mental and physical health (1:57:30); HFC—a charitable organization founded by Lauren and Seth (2:00:15); and More.

Women's brain health remains one of the most under researched, under diagnosed and under undertreated fields of medicine. Women are twice as likely as men to develop Alzheimer’s and twice as likely to become anxious or depressed. They are four times more likely to suffer with headaches and migraines and they are more prone to brain tumours and strokes than men. Today’s guest says this is a clear indication of functional differences between female and male brains. And she’s made it her life’s work to learn more about it.Neuroscientist Dr Lisa Mosconi is director of the Women’s Brain Initiative and works at the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College, US, where she studies how genetics, lifestyle and nutrition shape brain health, particularly in women.Lisa describes her frustration at constantly being told by peers that the reason Alzheimer’s was more prevalent in women was simply because they live longer, and it’s a disease of ageing. We discuss her ground-breaking research that has exposed this bias, finding dementia brain changes can actually begin in midlife, triggered by declining oestrogen during perimenopause. Worrying as that might sound, this discovery will enable women to take control of their risk at a much earlier age. Lisa goes on to share plenty of practical, evidence-based advice to help you do that.I was really moved hearing Lisa talk about the beautiful changes that happen in the female brain during pregnancy and post-partum. It’s a new take on the idea of ‘Mummy brain’ and will be validating for all mothers out there to hear. She also gives a clear and candid explanation of how perimenopause alters brain function. So many of my patients in their 40s and 50s are scared by changes like forgetfulness, brain fog and anxiety. If that’s you or someone you know, Lisa’s insights and advice will be really empowering.I’m a passionate advocate for women’s health equality. Yet chatting with Lisa made me realise how much more work we all have to do to get topics like these out there and understood. This conversation is relevant to all of us, women and men alike. I hope it gets you thinking and talking more.

Did you know that Alzheimer’s is a preventable disease and not a disease of old age? We tend to associate it with the elderly because that’s when clinical symptoms manifest, but in reality, Alzheimer’s begins with negative changes in the brain at least a decade prior. More often than not, in middle age.In this mini-episode, Dhru speaks with Dr. David Perlmutter, Dr. Lisa Mosconi, and Dr. Dale Bredesen about why Alzheimer’s is a preventable disease, the lifestyle factors that can set the stage for Alzheimer’s years from now, the statistics on Alzheimer’s disease and its impact on women, and what you can do today to prevent cognitive decline. Dr. David Perlmutter is a board-certified neurologist and four-time New York Times best selling author. He serves on the Board of Directors and is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition and as a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.

Science is science, right? Unfortunately, this is not always the case, especially when it comes to women’s health. Our understanding of the human brain and body has been clouded by years of gender bias—for decades many scientists and doctors have assumed that men and women are really the same, except for the bits and bobs that can be covered by a bikini. Yet, as this podcast guest and renowned researcher Dr. Lisa Mosconi points out, this kind of “bikini science” has dramatic implications for women’s mental and physical health that go beyond our reproductive organs, affecting every part of the brain and body.    Dr. Lisa Mosconi, PhD, is the Director of the Women’s Brain Initiative and Associate Director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC)/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, where she serves as an Associate Professor of Neuroscience in Neurology and Radiology. She is also an adjunct faculty member at the Department of Psychiatry at New York University (NYU) School of Medicine, and at the Department of Nutrition at NYU Steinhardt School of Nutrition and Public Health. Dr. Mosconi holds a PhD degree in Neuroscience and Nuclear Medicine, and is a certified Integrative Nutritionist and holistic healthcare practitioner. Her expertise lies in examining the way gender impacts the health of the brain and body, and in overcoming the massive gender gap in the world of medicine. As she describes in her amazing book, The XX Brain, since the time of Darwin there was a long-held assumption that women’s brains are inferior because they are smaller, but women are generally smaller than men, which was not taken into account for decades, and still persists subconsciously in many areas of medicine and neuroscience.   Podcast Time Stamps 3:10 Why Lisa wanted to be a scientist and study the human mind and brain 9:22 Why Alzheimer’s is not just a result of genetic mutations and old age 12:12 The difference between early onset and late onset dementia 14:56 Why you should be careful of taking genetic tests like 23 & me 21:26 Why most research is done on men and the disaster at the heart of medicine 32:54 The communication between the female brain and the female reproductive system, and why our hormones are crucial for brain health 40:11 The brain in middle-aged women, and how menopause can contribute to cognitive decline 47:25 How you as a woman can take back your health and prevent memory loss! 59:00 How chronic stress impacts our hormones and brain health 1:07:25 The power of the X gene, and why women have more genes than men   For more info on Dr. Lisa Mosconi and to get her book visit: https://www.lisamosconi.com   Read the show blog and transcript here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/why-is-depression-anxiety-and-alzheimer-s-more-common-in-women-how-to-protect-women-s-brains-from-aging-and-disease-with-dr-lisa-mosconi     This podcast was made possible by our sponsor ThirdLove:  Comfortable bras are so hard to find, which is why I am a big fan of ThirdLove!

Lisa Mosconi, PhD, is a neuroscientist and author of The XX Brain: The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women to Maximize Cognitive Health and Prevent Alzheimer's Disease. She is the Director of the Women’s Brain Initiative and Associate Director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC)/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, where she serves as an Associate Professor of Neuroscience in Neurology and Radiology. She is also an adjunct faculty member at the Department of Psychiatry at New York University (NYU) School of Medicine, and t the Department of Nutrition at NYU Steinhardt School of Nutrition and Public Health.

My guest today is a neuroscientist and neuro-nutritionist recognized and respected for her contributions to the fields of brain science, the microbiome, and nutritional genomics. Dr. Lisa Mosconi is the founder and director of the Women's Brain Initiative and associate director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. She’s also an associate professor of neuroscience in neurology and radiology at Weill Cornell and an adjunct faculty member at New York University’s Department of Psychiatry.Her current scientific work focuses on the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease in at-risk people, particularly women. More than a decade of research has shown two things, Dr. Mosconi says: “No. 1, Alzheimer's Disease is not a disease of old age, but rather the disease starts with negative changes in the brain years—if not decades—before any clinical symptoms emerge. So, we're looking at midlife, rather than when you're 70 or 80. No. 2, women tend to develop these negative changes in their brains before men do, and specifically as women go through menopause. That was a big finding.”“Menopause symptoms don't start in the ovaries,” she says, “they start in the brain.” That’s why Dr. Mosconi uses brain imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). She is passionately interested in how risk of memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease can be mitigated, if not prevented, through the combination of appropriate medical care and lifestyle modifications involving diet, nutrition, physical and intellectual fitness. She details this in her new book, “The XX Brain: The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women to Maximize Cognitive Health and Prevent Alzheimer's Disease.”Dr. Mosconi’s research into women’s neurological health is changing the way science approaches the female brain.

As our listeners know I get particularly excited about having certain guests on this show.  This episode is one of those guests!  I have been after Dr Richard Isaacson for over a year now and I had to make a special trip to NYC to go bang on his door to get his attention here...but the reason I am so excited is because the kind of work that Richard is doing is truly pioneering in the Alzheimer's community and his recently published paper.  We'll talk about this in great detail, but by way of introduction.   Dr Richard Isaacson finished both his undergraduate degree as well as medical school in just 6 years. Completed his neurology residency at Beth Israel Deaconess/Harvard Medical School and now serves as the Director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell in New York City.  Finally, and perhaps most important, he and his wife just welcomed their first child into this world....congratulations and Welcome to the show, Dr Isaacson!   This is a great episode where we discuss a first-of-its-kind (prospective design) paper showing that early interventions work to prevent Alzheimer's and treat early symptoms. An episode not to be missed. A deep discussion of the research and some of the controversies surrounding Alzheimer's research.

Richard Isaacson is a board-certified neurologist and director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York-Presbyterian.

Dr. Richard Isaacson, Director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine, shares the just-published results of his groundbreaking clinical trial which show that a personalized prevention plan can dramatically lower the risk or progression of Alzheimer's. Also joining the discussion is one of Dr. Isaacson’s patients who is living proof that this new approach works.

Some 46 million Americans already have the early brain changes that are the harbingers of a dementia that won’t reveal itself for decades. Dr. Richard Isaacson, Director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine, talks about the three stages of cognitive impairment, how to distinguish “senior moments” from symptoms of dementia, and whether multitasking puts our overloaded brains at risk.

Today’s interview is with Lisa Mosconi, PhD. She is the associate director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weil Cornell Medical College in New York. Prior to that she served as the director of the Nutrition and Brain Fitness Lab at New York University, School of Medicine. Dr. Mosconi holds a dual PhD degree in neuroscience as well as nuclear medicine from the University of Florence, Italy, and is board-certified in integrative nutrition. I think will really enjoy this interview and learn about her new book, Brain Food, which not only looks at nutrition but also leverages the science of nutritional genomics, and even the emerging science relating to the role of the microbiome in brain health. The book provides recommendations that we can all use with respect to the foods we eat and, interestingly, she does challenge some of our long-held notions. I hope you enjoy this discussion.

Three doctors/researchers you should know about in the field of DementiaDr. Dale Bredesen wrote “The End of Alzheimers” Professor of Neurology Easton Laboratories for Neurodegenerative Disease Research David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA Richard Isaacson, M.D: Director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York-Presbyterian Amy Berger who wrote the “Alzheimer's Andidote” ------------------------------------------------------------ Alzheimer's is the most common neurodegenerative disorder. Responsible for 60-80 percent of all dementia (cognitive decline) There may be a predisposition (genetic component) if you carry ApoE-4. This gene increases risk 5-15% A common one amyloid plaques (for the docs) or tau proteins. They are a mediator likely NOT the cause We need to stop thinking of amyloid as a target There are also subtypes  (a mix but what is predominant) Inflammatory : assoc with overactive immune system Constantly be fighting somethin Chronic infection, leaky gut etc.. Atrophic : lacks proper signaling to promote synapse preservation Missing necessary signaling molecules or support. E.g not enough hormones (estradiol/testosterone thyroid), vitamin D, BDNF etc. The brain “downsizes” because you cannot support the neural network you have Many people have both inflammatory and atrophic. These first two are more common with APOE4 "Type 1.5": glycolic damage (insulin resistance of the brain) Toxic (possibly earlier onset) Less common BUT many times if type 1 or 2, likely a bit of contributing toxic type Fungal (molds), viral, bacterial, chemical Often APOE4 negative individuals / younger / women Trouble with executive function like calculating a tip / bills etc. Often have low Triglycerides/low zinc/high copper. Not sure what this means PPIs decrease absorption of zinc, copper pipes too Even if you have the gene, if you identify this early enough, we can institute changes in our lifestyle to delay or avoid onset. What does Dr. Breseden suggest: Look at toxin burden (molds/skincare/food/food containers etc) Wash after (mercury/BPA) etc comes out in sweat mycometrics.com Remove from environment PLUS sauna EPA relative mold index (want less then 2) 12-16  hours of daily fasting starting 3 hours before bed If APOE 4 (closer to 16) Reduce inflammation Low carb/sleep/stress Removing food intolerance Heal leaky gut (inflammation is how gut is so connected to brain) Mild Ketosis (his program is called Ketoflex) You many be able to stop supplementing Unless you lose too much weight If lose weight 1-2 days of adding carbs Fish works, supplements don't Avoid fish high in mercury like tuna Stick to salmon, mackerel, sardines 70% of calories from fat, low carb Plus fasting If your starting from high carb - start with MCTS → omega 3/polyuns Once you can make ketones on your own (fat adapted) ITS NOT ABOUT ONE THING and its about changing the signaling and providing the appropriate tools (omega 3), decreasing toxins or getting rid of toxins

Most health and diet books focus on reducing your waistline but neglect the most "mission critical" part of your entire body: your brain. The 3 lbs, watery, fatty mass between your ears needs to be fed well and cared for, but most people don't give brain health the attention it deserves. Meet Dr. Lisa Mosconi, neuroscientist and author, and learn how your brain health can be dramatically influenced by food and lifestyle. ------------ Listen & Learn: Why your body can survive on many foods, but your brain is much more picky The importance of essential fatty acids for brain health Why the brain's saturated fat and cholesterol is created by the brain and stored in the brain from childhood—not affected by diet Why too much Omega-6 from seed oils is a problem for inflammation Why a 2:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is ideal (while most people get 20+:1) Why we need around 4 grams of omega-3's per day Why the brain needs glucose for neuron synthesis and balance Why alcohol enters the brain and dehydrates your brain ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. Mosconi holds a PhD degree in Neuroscience and Nuclear Medicine, and is a certified Integrative Nutritionist and holistic healthcare practitioner.

In Part 1 of our conversation with neuroscientist Dr. Lisa Mosconi, we learned more about the connection between estrogen, menopause, and Alzheimer's. In short, in perimenopause and menopause, as estrogen declines, women lose some of the neuroprotective advantages of the hormone, making them more vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease.  Make sure to listen to Part 1 to get grounded in the science. In Part 2, Dr. Mosconi lets us in on how we can protect our brains from the cognitive decline of Alzheimer's. Food, exercise, intellectual stimulation all have a part to play, so you're going to want to hear what Dr. Mosconi has to say. (Bonus: a lot of these same tips can help men age better, too.) Learn more about Dr. Mosconi, the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic, and how you might participate in their research. If you want to start nourishing your brain against age-related decline (“eating for retirement,” as Dr. Mosconi puts it), get your hands on a copy of her fascinating and very readable book, Brain Food: the Surprising Science of Eating for Cognitive Power.

“In the next three minutes, 3 people will develop Alzheimer’s. Two of them will be women.” As neuroscientist Dr. Lisa Mosconi says in her article, “Alzheimer’s and Women’s Health, an Urgent Call,” while women account for two-thirds of Alzheimer’s cases, little is being done to understand why simply being a woman significantly increases your risk of developing the disease. Dr. Mosconi is Associate Director of the Weill Cornell Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic, where she and her colleagues are working to understand this critical – and critically overlooked – piece of women’s healthcare. Team genneve came across this story because Dr. Mosconi and others have linked Alzheimer’s disease with menopause. They postulate that as estrogen levels subside in a woman’s body as she ages, so do its neurological protections. As Dr. Mosconi puts it: “In straight talk: menopause causes metabolic changes in the brain that seem to increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.” “In straight talk: menopause causes metabolic changes in the brain that seem to increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.” Fortunately, as Dr. Mosconi has helped identify the problem, she has also helped point to some powerful solutions. Exercise and nutrition, she says, can play a significant role in preventing cognitive decline. In Part 1 of her podcast with genneve CEO Jill Angelo, Dr. Mosconi explains the mechanism behind menopause and Alzheimer’s risk. Come back for Part 2, where she discusses how women can protect their brains as they age. Learn more about Dr. Mosconi, the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic, and how you might participate in their research.
