What can we do to protect our brain as we age? How can we stay vital? What about HRT and breast cancer? Can we actually manage symptoms of perimenopause? Dr. Lisa Mosconi, leading neuroscientist, nutritionist and Director of the Women’s Brain Initiative and the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Weill Cornell/New York Presbyterian tells all! She joins Jillian on this week’s show to discuss what happens to women’s brains and hormones in puberty, pregnancy, and perimenopause, and what we can do about it. Dr. Mosconi covers everything from the pros and cons of HRT (hormone replacement therapy), the breast cancer/hormone connection, and top strategies to manage postpartum, perimenopause, and help prevent Alzheimer’s using exercise, diet, stress reduction, and more.
