Why Women’s Brain Health Deserves a Different Approach
The research is clear: women’s brain health follows a different trajectory, shaped by hormonal changes that impact cognitive, emotional, and physical wellbeing.
70%
of Alzheimer’s patients are women, and it’s not just because we live longer.
2X
Women are twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression compared to men.
3-4X
Women are three to four times more likely to experience migraines than men.
Declining reproductive hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone) during perimenopause impact brain function, disrupting quality of life and elevating health risks.
Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause cause cognitive, emotional, and physical changes; a transition lasting 10-14 years that impacts brain health for life.
Food for Thought:
“We associate menopause with the ovaries, but when women say they’re having hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, memory lapses, depression, anxiety—those symptoms don’t start in the ovaries. They start in the brain. Those are neurological symptoms. We’re just not used to thinking about them as such.”
Research from Dr. Lisa Mosconi reveals what women have long known: perimenopausal symptoms are neurological, not just hormonal. Yet most healthcare approaches still miss this critical connection.
