S12 E34: What Every Woman Needs to Know to Protect Her Brain Health With Louisa Nicola, MMed, PhD

Women make up a staggering two-thirds of all Alzheimer's disease cases, yet the conversation and research around aging and brain health often leaves them out. In this episode, Louisa Nicola, MMed, PhD, breaks down why this disease disproportionately affects women and reveals that the underlying cognitive changes can actually begin decades before a diagnosis, often starting in our 30s and 40s.

Rather than viewing cognitive decline as a foregone conclusion, though, Nicola explains that up to 95 percent of cases are heavily influenced by lifestyle rather than strictly genetics, meaning the opportunity for prevention is in your hands. She explains how to make sensible daily adjustments to support your long-term brain health.
