Neurophysiologist Shares Top 3 Drivers of Alzheimer’s Disease, How To Reduce Your Risk of Cognitive Decline At Any Age, and How to Build a Super-Brain with Louisa Nicola (Rebroadcast)

So right now we're probably, depending on how fit we both are, our resting heart rate may be in our 50s, right? So we're pumping, we're doing 50 beats per minute. Whereas if you're just out there walking, you're probably reaching about 100, 110, 130. So you're getting more blood flow than if you were just sitting down. That's my take on the 12,500 steps per day.

So let's actually take a bit of a physiology lesson, if we will. And I really want to go back to your previous comment about your viewership being in that 50 to 60-year-old.

But that's really important because I actually have, as a woman, I have a strong relationship with the association between postmenopausal women and dementia. We know that two out of three cases of Alzheimer's disease is women. right? So we have to understand why that is. And we have to understand the role that estrogen plays, our dominant hormone.

So if you are born a female, if you are born with a uterus and ovaries, that's what I mean when I say female, you have more estrogen receptors in your brain. And evidently, as we go through the women, go through the menopausal stages, varies in age, maybe it's around 52, I think that's the global average age, you start to get less estrogen, we don't produce any more estrogen.

Therefore, estrogen is, if that is the most dominant hormone in the brain, we have a higher efficacy of getting these neurodegenerative diseases. So we need to understand, especially as females, just how important exercise really is for a healthy functioning brain, for a healthy brain in terms of function and structure. And I really think that females have been

dramatically understudied when it comes to these diseases in academic medicine. We won't go into that because I have beef with Charles Darwin, so we won't go into that. But I really wanted to highlight that and the importance of ladies in their 50s, in their 60s who are leading up to that stage, how fundamental exercise really is.
