375. It’s Menopause’s Moment: A new conversation about midlife, with Lisa Mosconi PhD
Manage episode 409812439 series 2151309
Lisa Mosconi PhD, renowned neuroscientist with over 200 published papers, says: Menopause is having a moment. She’s right, and she’s written the book to meet that moment. The Menopause Brain, a book being celebrated around the world. Gen X has arrived mid-life, with all the state-of-flux symptoms that come with peri-menopause and menopause and said: Enough! Why are we not talking about this? Why are we being gaslit in Dr’s offices for our symptoms and being offered multiple medications for anxiety, depression and pain, but not having a conversation about what might help us far more, due to outdated medical research claims of overblown HRT risks? We also have been robbed of the exciting potential for embracing the rite of passage into a new chapter, from a spiritual and personal growth perspective. We discuss:
- Menopause is not a disease, and it’s not just ‘aging’ - it is a neuro-endocrine transition: A biological event
- What’s happening during this transition and why sex hormones aren’t just sex hormones
- The risks that increase from midlife for women including a discussion around Alzheimer’s Disease
- The benefits of ‘getting to the other side’ from a resilience and cognition perspective.
- Was HRT risk ‘fear’ in the late 20th Century overblown?
- Lifestyle considerations to support us during our transition
- Validation for your own experience: A critical piece in the transition
