The Dr Louise Newson Podcast · 62 – How hormones change your brain - Dr Jay Jagannathan · 30 Apr 2026 podcast

And I think the core muscles, particularly when it comes to the spine, the core muscles, the paraspinous muscles are extremely critical in terms of balance, in terms of what you call sagittal balance, which is your ability to stand upright.

And we know as we get older, you know, with arthritis, with degeneration, men and women, but more pronounced in women because of these fractures and stuff that we discussed earlier, that's extremely important in terms of minimizing stress in other parts of the body, the hips, the pelvis, the femur, things like that.

And so I think that type of strengthening, you know, doesn't necessarily have to be going to the gym and doing deadlifts, but it's in terms of core strengthening, posture strengthening, yoga, Pilates, things like that.

Swimming even, swimming is very good low impact activity.

Those can significantly decrease, build core muscle strength, improve posture and improve, decrease the long-term effects of some of these changes when it comes to the spine.

Number one, never ignore your symptoms.

As we mentioned earlier, any kind of new symptoms, changes, there's no such thing as, I think we would both agree, there's no such thing as a stupid question when you see your physician.

Always pay attention to that.

Number two, lifestyle and brain health are integrally related.

Your brain controls every aspect of your life.

So things like diet, exercise are extremely important and play an extremely important role in terms of the overall health.

health of the brain and the nerves in general.

And number three, you know, I think the crux of here is that hormonal levels do change, particularly in women after time.

I think these symptoms are expected as you get older.

So don't be ashamed to talk to your doctor about hormone replacement, about other options are available to you, particularly when you get to that age, if you're having symptoms related to menopause and other things.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for having me.
