Hormones, Brain Health, and Alzheimer’s Risk: What Women Need to Know

What if the timing of hormone therapy is increasing women’s risk of Alzheimer’s? In this special holiday episode, I answer listener questions and share critical updates every woman needs to know about hormones, brain health, and Alzheimer’s risk.

New research has overturned decades of fear around hormone replacement therapy, showing that bioidentical hormones, when started at the right time, can be both safe and profoundly protective for the brain. I explain why perimenopause, not menopause, may be the most important window to act, and how hormone loss directly affects memory, sleep, mood, and long-term cognitive health.

I also walk through the most effective brain supplements, including magnesium, Omega-3s, creatine, and emerging longevity compounds, and how to prioritize them without overspending. Finally, I share practical holiday strategies to protect your sleep, manage stress, and support your brain while spending time with family.

If this episode helped you, share it with a woman you care about and subscribe for more science-backed brain health guidance.

“The new finding is that we actually want to start at perimenopause. So women as young as 40 or women who are beginning to go through perimenopause–that is the best time to start hormone replacement therapy, specifically hormone replacement therapy with bioidentical hormones.”
