"Menopause and perimenopause are still a black box to most doctors, leaving patients exasperated as they grapple with symptoms ranging from hot flashes to insomnia and brain fog. As a leading neuroscientist and women's brain health specialist, Dr. Lisa Mosconi unravels the mystery by revealing how menopause doesn't just impact the ovaries-but it's a hormonal show in which the brain takes center stage. The decline of the hormone estrogen during menopause influences everything from body temperature to mood and memory, potentially paving the way for cognitive decline later in life. To conquer these successfully, Mosconi brings us the latest approaches-from cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies like "designer estrogens" to the role of hormonal contraception, and key lifestyle changes encompassing diet, exercise, self-care, and self-talk. Best of all, Mosconi dispels the myth that menopause signifies an end, demonstrating that it's actually a transition. Contrary to popular belief, if we know how to take care of ourselves during menopause, we can emerge with a renewed, enhanced brain-ushering in a meaningful and vibrant new chapter of life"--

El cerebro XX parte de las diferencias fundamentales en el envejecimiento cerebral de hombres y mujeres, específicamente por la acción de las hormonas, para entender por qué los cambios que experimentamos con la edad tienen efectos tan dispares. Desde el manejo del insomnio y la depresión hasta las controvertidas terapias hormonales y el papel de nuestro microbioma en el bienestar, la Dra. Mosconi analiza lo que sabemos sobre el envejecimiento femenino y presenta evidencia científica de avanzada para proteger nuestro cerebro con un plan de alimentación, reducción de estrés y mejora de la calidad del sueño. El resultado es a la vez un llamado para que todas las mujeres tengan la información completa sobre lo que ocurre con su cerebro y su cuerpo, y un camino concreto para acceder al bienestar neurológico de manera óptima y permanente. El cerebro XX starts from the fundamental differences in the brain aging of men and women, specifically by the action of hormones, to understand why the changes we experience with age have such disparate effects. From managing insomnia and depression to controversial hormone therapies and the role of our microbiome in well-being, Dr. Mosconi discusses what we know about female aging and presents cutting-edge scientific evidence to protect our brains, reduce stress and improve sleep quality. The result is both a call for all women to have all the information about what is happening to their brain and body, and a concrete path to access neurological well-being in an optimal and permanent way.
