Research on women's health has long been overshadowed by studies focused on men. However, this disparity is finally being addressed. The XX Brain by Dr. Lisa Mosconi presents groundbreaking research demonstrating how women's brains age differently than men's, primarily due to the decline of the critical brain-protective hormone, oestrogen.
Women are significantly more prone to anxiety, depression, migraines, brain injuries, strokes, and Alzheimer's disease. Historically, scientific research has been dominated by 'bikini medicine,' which treated women as men with different reproductive organs. This approach neglected the unique aspects of women's health.
Dr Mosconi's comprehensive work covers crucial issues such as brain fog, memory lapses, depression, stress, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, and the heightened risk of dementia. She introduces cutting-edge, evidence-based strategies to protect the female brain, including dietary recommendations, stress reduction techniques, and sleep optimization. Additionally, she delves into the benefits of hormone replacement therapy, the dangers of environmental toxins, and the critical role of our microbiome.
Dr. Lisa Mosconi, a renowned expert at the intersection of neuroscience and women's health, focuses on how genetics, hormones, environment, and lifestyle influence the female brain. Her research is vital for understanding brain health across a woman's lifetime.
