Setup

The hormonal changes and hot flashes that accompany menopause are familiar to most women, but the accompanying brain changes have not received as much attention. We now know that the inflammatory responses associated with declining levels of estrogen have neurological consequences, which could explain why women are more likely than men to develop Alzheimer’s disease. The author of The Menopause Brain talks about new approaches to hormone replacement therapy and the targeted lifestyle changes that could help women thrive during this physiological and emotional transition—and perhaps safeguard against dementia as well.
