But these changes aren\u2019t discussed openly or discussed with no helpful solutions, leaving women feeling hopeless, alone, or unsupported. Today\u2019s 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.\xa0\nToday, on the Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Lisa Mosconi to discuss what happens to a woman\u2019s brain when she goes through menopause and the connection to Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Dr. Mosconi shares how to care for women\u2019s brains during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, how to prevent dementia and the lifestyle habits that can help women navigate the transition into menopause.\xa0\nLisa Mosconi, PhD, is an associate professor of neuroscience in neurology and radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine and the director of the Women\u2019s Brain Initiative and the Alzheimer\u2019s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
