Do you feel as though your mind isn't working as well as it used to? Have nights become a struggle, do words fail you at the wrong moment, and does your mood change for no apparent reason? It's not your imagination. It's your brain, responding to one of the most profound biological transitions in a woman's life.
The menopause isn't just the end of menstruation. It's a genuine neurological reorganisation-documented by MRI scans and neuroimaging studies-that affects memory, sleep, emotions and the risk of conditions such as Alzheimer's.
This book, written with scientific rigour and in accessible language, guides you through everything you need to know: how oestrogen acts in over 300 brain regions, which symptoms are normal and which warrant attention, what the real science says about hormone therapy (beyond the fear surrounding the WHI study), when and how the neuroprotective window of opportunity works, and which tools-from nutrition to exercise-are backed by real evidence for your brain.
Because you deserve high-quality information to make confident decisions about your health.
