Homeopath in your pocket: Natural Health Solutions for Busy Mums
Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2544136/fan_mail/new] Did you know that female Alzheimer's patients outnumber men by 2:1? Or that women in their 60s are twice as likely to get Alzheimer's than breast cancer? These statistics are shocking - and they're why we need to talk about female brain health right now. For decades, women's medicine has been what Dr Lisa Mosconi calls "bikini medicine" - the notion that we only differ from men in the parts covered by a bikini. But recent research proves we differ dramatically in brain structure, metabolism, and so much more. And this difference matters, especially when it comes to dementia risk. Today I'm sharing why menopause can trigger cognitive decline, why Alzheimer's brain plaques start forming decades before symptoms appear, and - most importantly - my top 10 tips you can start RIGHT NOW to protect your brain health. In this episode, I'm covering: Why women were excluded from drug trials: The shocking Thalidomide disaster in the early 1960s had consequences that lasted decades. I'm revealing the sleeping pill scandal from 2012 that proved just how different women's bodies really are. The menopause-dementia connection: Why menopause can act as a trigger for cognitive decline, and why you need to start protecting your brain years before menopause hits. Blood tests that could save your brain: Some conditions present as early dementia signs but are completely treatable. I'm listing exactly what you should get checked. The Mediterranean diet advantage: Studies prove this reduces dementia risk AND breast cancer risk while decreasing menopausal symptoms. I'm explaining what makes it so protective. The omega ratio nobody talks about: Most of us are eating fats in completely the wrong ratio. I'm revealing what the balance should be and how to fix it. The gut-brain axis: Happy gut equals happy brain. The research on this is crystal clear, and I'm sharing exactly which foods nourish your microbiome. Why you should ditch your Teflon pans: Endocrine disruptors are everywhere and they're affecting your brain health. I'm explaining where they hide and what to do about it. Plus I'm covering stress management, brain exercises, and why gentle walking beats HIIT training for brain health. This episode is based on Dr Lisa Mosconi's brilliant book "The XX Brain" - packed with science-backed strategies specifically for women's brains.
