The Link Between Menopause and Alzheimers with Dr. Lisa Mosconi

Published: May 18, 2022, 5 a.m.

World-renowned neuroscientist and neuro-nutritionist Dr. Lisa Mosconi joins JJ today as they discuss a vitally important topic: women\u2019s brain health. Women's brains age distinctly from men's, due in large part to the decline of a key brain-protective hormone: estrogen.

Dr. Lisa and JJ discuss the roles of estrogen in the body and the brain, as well as the connection between menopause and the risk of Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Many factors contribute to the risk for Alzheimer\u2019s, but a lot of them boil down to inflammation, and adjusting lifestyle can help reduce the risk.

JJ and Dr. Lisa also discuss foods that are harmful and foods that are helpful in reducing the risk of Alzheimer\u2019s disease.
