Menopause and our Brain
New findings are connecting menopause and Alzheimer’s in a way that can no longer be ignored.
For decades, we assumed women were at higher risk simply because they lived longer. But the truth is more complex and more urgent.
Dr. Lisa Mosconi has been sounding the alarm for years and now the research is catching up. and now the research is catching up.
Dr. Mosconi’s work reveals that the drop in estrogen during menopause doesn’t just change our bodies. It changes our brains.
Recent years have shown that women aren’t just experiencing hot flushes and sleep issues. They’re experiencing real, measurable shifts in brain metabolism, often years before any cognitive symptoms are diagnosed.
This isn’t just a women’s health issue. It’s a research gap. A funding gap. And a health care gap that needs to be bridged.
Clinical trials that centre women. Diagnostic tools that account for sex-based differences. And real conversations that treat menopause as the medical and spiritual milestone it is , honouring the place of women in the world.
Because when we invest in understanding menopause, we’re not just improving midlife, we’re protecting the decades that come after it.
And the best news - is that energy medicine can help with cognition, memory and brain fog - we may not have the scientific evidence for that yet but plenty practice based evidence .
Thank you to Tamsel Fadel for these insights, and of course to Lisa Mosconi for her tireless research into this area 🙏

S*x and gender research could lead to better, more equitable treatments — if it is allowed to continue without political interference.
