Why menopause symptoms often begin in the brain rather than the ovaries
In short: While menopause is commonly associated with the ovaries, many symptoms actually originate in the brain. This video explores how shifting hormone levels impact cognitive health and brain aging, offering insights into supporting lifelong neurological wellness.
Neuroscientist Lisa Mosconi explains that symptoms such as insomnia, memory lapses, anxiety, depression, hot flashes, and night sweats often start in the brain. Her research examines how decreasing hormonal levels during menopause affect brain aging and overall cognitive health.
Understanding this connection is vital because brain health during menopause can influence the rest of the body. Mosconi suggests that simple lifestyle changes can help support and protect long-term brain health.
