Women, Menopause and Alzheimer’s: XX Brain Connections with Lisa Mosconi, Ph.D. : 675

Women, Menopause and Alzheimer’s: XX Brain Connections with Lisa Mosconi, Ph.D. : 675

My guest today is a neuroscientist and neuro-nutritionist recognized and respected for her contributions to the fields of brain science, the microbiome, and nutritional genomics.

Dr. Lisa Mosconi is the founder and director of the Women's Brain Initiative and associate director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. She’s also an associate professor of neuroscience in neurology and radiology at Weill Cornell and an adjunct faculty member at New York University’s Department of Psychiatry.

Her current scientific work focuses on the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease in at-risk people, particularly women. More than a decade of research has shown two things, Dr. Mosconi says: “No. 1, Alzheimer's Disease is not a disease of old age, but rather the disease starts with negative changes in the brain years—if not decades—before any clinical symptoms emerge. So, we're looking at midlife, rather than when you're 70 or 80. No. 2, women tend to develop these negative changes in their brains before men do, and specifically as women go through menopause. That was a big finding.”

“Menopause symptoms don't start in the ovaries,” she says, “they start in the brain.” That’s why Dr. Mosconi uses brain imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

She is passionately interested in how risk of memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease can be mitigated, if not prevented, through the combination of appropriate medical care and lifestyle modifications involving diet, nutrition, physical and intellectual fitness. She details this in her new book, “The XX Brain: The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women to Maximize Cognitive Health and Prevent Alzheimer's Disease.”

Dr. Mosconi’s research into women’s neurological health is changing the way science approaches the female brain.

Podcast #8: Quantifying Recovery With RestWise

Podcast #8: Quantifying Recovery With RestWise

RestWise is the first software program that enables athletes to track their recovery.  This system is being used by everyone from the world’s top olympians to the weekend warriors.  Using science based metrics such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, mood, and sleep, RestWise gives athletes the ability to look at their recovery over time and make changes based on their results.  Jeff Hunt, the cofounder, was nice enough to spend some time talking to us about this unique piece of technology.

#5: How To Quantify Fatigue Like Never Before

Rick Green and John Kalns have created the first test that can objectively measure fatigue.  Using an at-home test for salivary peptides, you can now gauge exactly how much stress your body is under.  This test can be used by athletes, or businessmen and entrepreneurs who burn the candle at both ends.  This is the first test which allows you to know when you’re really pushing your self too far.
