☀ Studying cognitive health is really difficult. Studying female cognitive health is really complex. This difficulty and complexity, has lead to a lack of easy-to-access standards of care around female cognition. When medicine doesn’t yet know what to do with something, we often do nothing at all - the infamous “let’s watch and wait, see if this turns into something bad enough that we do have standards of care for”.
While this might sound apathetic, a part of this inaction is to avoid causing harm until more is known and stronger conclusions can be made.
Unfortunately, when it comes to having a preventative and significant impact on the cognitive health of women, it is very likely that a critical window for implementing lifestyle changes exists, and this window exists years before severe cognitive decline shows up.
Based on my understanding of the current research we have, I begin discussing / working on cognitive health, in the context of a woman's overall health, by age 40 to 45. For women with some risk factors for cognitive decline, such as being carriers of the ApoE4 allele, we begin talking about cognitively healthy lifestyle adaptations that can be made as soon as possible.
I know cognitive decline is a scary topic for a lot of us, so we approach this with evidence based tools and empathy, not motivation that comes from a place of fear. My goal is that this makes women feel empowered in caring for our mental and cognitive wellness, rather than avoidant and anxious.

💁‍♀️ Cognitive function (how we function cognitively at a point in time) appears to be affected during pregnancy and postpartum, but cognitive trajectory (how we function cognitively over time, referring to our overall pattern of cognition as we age) begins to change for the majority of women during perimenopause and the menopausal transition.

🤔 Think of your cognition; your thought processes, your reasoning, your memory, your understanding, not as simply Good or Bad, nor as Healthy or Not Healthy, but rather as a line across many decades of time.
Does your line maintain, or does it decrease year after year, perhaps even only decreasing imperceptibly until many years have gone by, as you age?

🧐 Rather than focusing strictly on dementia, let’s talk about COGNITIVE TRAJECTORY. This is where understanding the male vs the female brain becomes VERY important.

👌 Think of your cognition; your thought processes, your reasoning, your memory, your understanding, not as simply good or bad, nor as health or not healthy, but rather as a line across many decades of time.

Does your line maintain, or does it decrease year after year, perhaps even only decreasing imperceptibly until many years have gone by, as you age?

⚫️Cognitive function (how we function cognitively at a point in time) appears to be affected during pregnancy and postpartum, but cognitive trajectory (how we function cognitively over time, referring to our overall pattern of cognition as we age) begins to change for the majority of women during perimenopause and the menopausal transition.

⚫️While we may identify cognitive challenges that come alongside night sweats, hot flashes and sleep disruption, it is important to remember that as the brain and nervous system adapts to lower estrogen life, we can feel a transient effect on cognition. The good news is, that this should alleviate over time. However, we may forget to consider our cognitive trajectory and fail to realize that while our acute cognitive function can flux with hormonal shifts, our overall pattern of cognitive health may be declining in the background and no one will pick up on it until our day to day function is being impacted in our later decades.

🌳 If you are a female between your late 30’s and your late 40’s, perimenopause is a factor I think about, when I consider individualized treatment.

It’s hard to do things on your own.

Checking in with care providers or having a community gather around us when we make lifestyle changes, is very important.

It’s something we should talk more about.
