Today’s podcast is with the wonderful Dr Lisa Mosconi, PhD, author of the brand new book “The XX Brain” and the director of the Women’s Brain Initiative and the associate director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College, where she also serves as associate professor of Neuroscience in Neurology and Radiology.
She is a board-certified integrative nutritionist and holistic healthcare practitioner and somebody who is championing better, more inclusive research that recognises the distinctiveness of the female brain for improved clinical outcomes. I loved her first book “Brain food”, and this new book is an incredible addition to her literary works and a way to empower women across the world to make more evidence based informed choices about their health and wellbeing with respects to brain health.

Dr Lisa Mosconi, PhD, is the director of the Womens Brain Initiative and the associate director of the Alzheimers Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College, where she serves as associate professor of Neuroscience in Neurology and Radiology. She also is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine.

About the book The XX Brain: The Ground-breaking Science Empowering Women to Prevent Dementia Women are far more likely than men to suffer from anxiety, depression, migraines, brain injuries, strokes and Alzheimers disease. But, until recently, scientific research has focused on bikini medicine, assuming that women are essentially men with different reproductive organs. The XX Brain presents ground-breaking research showing that womens brains age distinctly from mens, due mostly to the decline of a key brain-protective hormone: oestrogen. Taking on all aspects of womens health, including brain fog, memory lapses, depression, stress, insomnia, hormonal imbalances and the increased risk of dementia, Dr Mosconi introduces cutting-edge, evidence-based methods for protecting the female brain, encompassing diet, stress reduction and sleep. She also examines the effectiveness of hormonal replacement therapy, addresses the perils of environmental toxins and explores the role of our microbiome. Luckily, it is never too late to take care of yourself.
