A new The Cochrane Library review found anti-amyloid Alzheimer’s drugs may offer no clinically meaningful benefit for patients, while increasing risks like brain swelling and bleeding.

Practitioners often see the same patterns in clinic.

Brain fog with insulin resistance.
Mood changes with hormonal shifts.
Sleep disruption alongside inflammation.

These symptoms rarely belong to one system. Yet they often connect through the biology of brain health.

In tomorrow’s 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗕𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗥, Patrick Holford and Andrew Cuscianna explore how nutrition, metabolism and lifestyle interact in brain ageing and mental wellbeing.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Food for the Brain would not be where it is today without the intelligence, leadership and steady determination of women.

From our CEO Emma George, who guides our strategy and growth.
To the women working behind the scenes every day to expand access to prevention tools and brain health education, including Kezia, Natalie, Johanne, Catherine, Jo, Rugile, Lorraine, Kim, Kate and Dorota.

Our work is also strengthened by researchers such as Dr Celeste De Jager Loots, our expert in neuropsychological assessment who helped develop and validate our free Cognitive Function Test.

And by supporters including Emma Beswick, co-founder of Lifecode Gx and Hannah Sutton, founder of Natural Ketosis whose commitment and generosity help sustain this charitable work.

International Women’s Day also highlights an important reality.

Alzheimer’s disproportionately affects women. Nearly two-thirds of those living with the disease are female. Hormonal transitions, longer life expectancy and historic underrepresentation in research all contribute to this imbalance.

Today we celebrate the women leading, supporting and advancing the science of brain health.

Prevention is not theoretical.
It is personal.
