Menopause Is a Brain Event, Not an Ovarian One : What Science Reveals | Dr Lisa Mosconi #667

Anne Ghesquière welcomes Dr Lisa Mosconi, a leading neuroscientist and women’s brain health specialist. What if menopause were not just a hormonal transition, but first and foremost a neurological one? Why do so many women suddenly feel anxious, exhausted, forgetful or lost during perimenopause and menopause without understanding what is happening to them? Are women really “losing their minds” ? How does menopause affect memory, mood, sleep, and emotional regulation? And what can science tell us to help women better navigate this pivotal stage of life? Dr Lisa Mosconi eciphers the effects of menopause and perimenopause on women’s brain to help them better understand and navigate this period of their lives. Her latest book La Ménopause commence dans le cerveau, is published in French by Thierry Souccar Éditions. Episode #668

Some quotes from the podcast with Dr Lisa Mosconi:
