Hormones, Brain Health, and Alzheimer’s Risk: What Women Need to Know

25 Dec 2025

Description

What if the timing of hormone therapy is increasing women’s risk of Alzheimer’s? In this special holiday episode, I answer listener questions and share critical updates every woman needs to know about hormones, brain health, and Alzheimer’s risk. New research has overturned decades of fear around hormone replacement therapy, showing that bioidentical hormones, when started at the right time, can be both safe and profoundly protective for the brain. I explain why perimenopause, not menopause, may be the most important window to act, and how hormone loss directly affects memory, sleep, mood, and long-term cognitive health. I also walk through the most effective brain supplements, including magnesium, Omega-3s, creatine, and emerging longevity compounds, and how to prioritize them without overspending. Finally, I share practical holiday strategies to protect your sleep, manage stress, and support your brain while spending time with family.If this episode helped you, share it with a woman you care about and subscribe for more science-backed brain health guidance.Podcast Sponsors:-Brain Power Clinics: www.BrainPowerClinics.com - https://brainpowerclinics.com/“The new finding is that we actually want to start at perimenopause. So women as young as 40 or women who are beginning to go through perimenopause–that is the best time to start hormone replacement therapy, specifically hormone replacement therapy with bioidentical hormones.” ~ Robert LoveIn this Episode:- Introduction - Hormone therapy myths and the removal of the black box warning- Why perimenopause increases Alzheimer’s risk in women- Why hormone therapy should start earlier than menopause- Is it too late to start hormone therapy after menopause?- Foundational brain supplements everyone should consider- Omega-3s, B-vitamins, and Alzheimer’s risk reduction- Creatine and new research on memory reversal- NMN, aging, and brain energy explained- Aniracetam and advanced cognitive support- Holiday brain health tips: Sleep, self-care, and nutritionMentioned in the Episode:- Dr. Sharon Stills’ Hormone Therapy Services: https://drstills.com/Connect with Robert Love:🌐Website - https://roarlionsmane.net/📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/robertwblove/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/discover/robert-love-lions-mane▶️YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@RobertWBLoveDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice. Please consult your physician or a qualified healthcare provider before making any changes to your medical treatment or care plan.
