For decades, some doctors have told women that the brain fog, insomnia, and mood swings they experience in middle age are "all in their heads." However, emerging brain research shows that they are right, but not because women are imagining it.

Brain imaging studies in women, conducted before, during, and after menopause, reveal dramatic physical changes in structure, connectivity, and energy metabolism.

These changes are not only visible on scans, but many women can also feel them, according to Lisa Mosconi, a neuroscientist and author of the book "The Menopause Brain."

These findings demonstrate that the so-called "menopause brain" is a reality, and women experience real changes in their brain during this stage of life.

The brain fog, insomnia, and mood swings are not just psychological symptoms, but are backed by structural and metabolic changes in the brain.

This new knowledge is crucial for better understanding the challenges women face during menopause and can help design more effective management strategies.

Neuroscientist Lisa Mosconi gave an interview to the American newspaper The Washington Post stating that "it is necessary for doctors to recognize and understand these brain changes, in order to provide more comprehensive and personalized care to women at this stage of life."

What is mental menopause?




Menopause and perimenopause remain largely a mystery to most doctors, leaving patients frustrated as they struggle with symptoms ranging from hot flashes to insomnia and brain fog.

As a leading neuroscientist and women's brain health specialist, Dr. Mosconi unravels these mysteries by revealing how menopause not only affects the ovaries, but is a hormonal spectacle in which the brain takes center stage.

The decline in estrogen hormone during menopause impacts everything from body temperature to mood and memory, potentially paving the way for cognitive decline in old age.

To successfully overcome these challenges, Dr. Mosconi brings us the latest approaches, explaining the role of cutting-edge hormone therapies such as "designer estrogens," hormonal contraceptives, and key lifestyle changes encompassing diet, exercise, self-care, and inner dialogue.

Best of all, Dr. Mosconi debunks the myth that menopause signifies an end, showing that it is actually a transition.

Contrary to popular belief, if we know how to take care of ourselves during menopause, we can emerge from it with a renewed and improved brain, ushering in a new chapter of meaningful and vibrant life.

These findings are crucial to understanding the importance of comprehensively addressing the brain and hormonal changes women experience during menopause, and promoting care strategies that contribute to optimal quality of life at this stage.

It is essential for both women and healthcare professionals to be informed about these advancements in order to face menopause more effectively and empowered.
