I went to a massage therapist who was beyond educated about the body. He told me that post menopausal women are the most sane people on the planet. As a post menopausal woman, I knew exactly what he meant. My mind and emotions have never felt so stable. Other than the body falling apart, I love where I am in my journey. Great episode!
I love Dr Mosconi and have preordered her book ❤ Brain health should be at the top of everyone’s health priority. But for menopausal women the link between declining hormones and dementia is terrifying. I recently lost my mom to Alzheimer’s disease and cannot stress enough the horrors of this disease. It is much, much more than memory loss. The brain is essentially dying. My mom slowly lost the ability to speak, walk, eat, chew and swallow. Her death was horrific. Dr Mosconi’s work is so important and until there’s a cure prevention is all we have. Every woman should have her book!
So sorry about your loss and trauma. I hope God helps you heal and I hope the best parts of your Mother, live on through you. ❤
I listened to your first brain book just 8 mo before menopause hit me at 45 5. Blindsided to say least. No clue how much it would effect. I ordered your new book as soon as I finished this podcast. Thank you for your work

I really appreciate you showing love for women, Shawn. Menopausal women need to be seen and heard. Thank you for sharing this valuable information. ❤

Shawn, thank you for this episode. This doctor is brilliant. I am thankful for you and for all that you do to uplift us. 🙏🏾💜
This research is amazing.
The Japanese description of menopause sounds so beautiful and positive while here in the United States as a woman you become invisible and brushed aside by doctors who can't help us during menopause and post menopause. It's sad and shows how the mind plays a huge roll just by calling it a beautiful name and making it a positive experience since a woman spends the majority of her life as a post menopausal woman.
Thank you for this podcast. There is so much to unpack and absorb. 🙏
This was such a great episode!!!!
Thank goodness for this!!
Thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏🏽
Wow. Wonderful discussion. I'm a 46 yr old woman. I am working on the prevention of poor brain health and lesser or no symptoms of menopause without realizing it. I'm happy about that! Glad you shared your guest!
Btw...still making your recipes! 😋
Excellent interview. Brilliant explanations by Dr. Mosconi. She gives so much info in very clear and helpful ways. Thank you for this
Great episode
Dr. Mosconi mentioned the guidelines have changed and you can be on hormones long-term as long as you feel good and being followed by a doctor. Question: If you get off, doesn’t that just make you perceptible to all the issues you are trying to avoid / prevent / reduce? If you want to naturally ease into menopause with the lifestyle changes discussed, doesn’t the lack of hormones again put you at risk? So, shouldn’t all women take hormones for life to prevent health issues and osteoporosis etc.?
I agree with you. I don’t understand why Dr Mosconi “hates” the term “hormone deficiency syndrome”. If she really understands the implications for the cardiovascular system, our bone health, our brain function and essentially every organ system depends on estrogen/estradiol to function as intended, how can this not be acknowledged as a hormone deficiency? It doesn’t mean that women as people are therefore “deficient” beings, as in “worth less”. Replacing a certain amount of estradiol in order for our body and brain to continue to function optimally could be viewed just like replacing thyroid hormone or insulin, when necessary.
What I miss in all the discussions about menopause and associated health risks is that nobody asks the experts what compensatory substance or mechanism “takes over” in all our organ systems once estradiol is no longer available? Everything I’ve learned so far indicates that the body has no good replacement for estradiol, and so we slide into the known disease processes which are silent (unfortunately) for many years until major events occur (heart attacks, spinal, hip and other fractures, dementia, etc). Whether we call it a “hormone deficiency” or not, all women should be given a choice of prevention, in my opinion.
@@cm1906My acupuncturist discussed the Chinese approach to menopause is to strengthen the kidney meridian( which I includes the adrenals) . The adrenals can produce some estrogen IF the adrenals are in optimal condition. I agree that there must be some compensatory mechanism since a small number of women have no symptoms. BUT in my personal experience when you ask these women how they sleep the usual answer is AWFUL. From listening to other women's stories you can no longer burn the candle at both ends.As to why Dr. Mosconi says she hates the term " estrogen deficiency disease is twofold. Women are not deficient or lacking because menopause has arrived . She emphasize that menopause includes changes in your brain and the focus on estrogen brings the focus to the ovaries.But I agree there should be no more stigma to have low estrogen than having low thyroid hormones.

Incredible
This was amazing! I often wonder how the post menopausal brain is different for those of us who are neurodivergent. So far it’s been harder but are there benefits for us? I have adhd-c presentation and I strongly suspect I’m also autistic.
vaginal steaming is also really incredible for menopause & vaginal dryness!
She didn’t speak about most important things which is cellular hydration and circadian rhythm and eating animal protein. Grass fed, unvaccinated meat.
