Long moment of beautiful conversation, so as a Women (XX Chromosomes) with a Invasiv Ductal hormonal Carcinoma at age 32, went along with all the *treatments recommendations Neo adjuvant Chemotherapy + Radiotherapy + Herceptin + Radical Mastectomy personally I drew the line at Tamoxifen therapy, the point being all throughout those first 3-4 years, I did what I was told by Doctors, who assumed knew more about my body wellbeing than I did, maybe due to menopausal Brain changes 😂, when I started to do what I felt was right for me, I earned more quality health & wellbeing & curiously *regain menstruation cycles after being diagnosed with Menopause (that lasted for 3 years) as an adverse consequence of the Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy protocol.

Witnessing my parents and my friends’ parents decay was truly depressing; maybe that’s childish, but I was not prepared for it although I went through if with my grandparents who I loved very much, but I was younger then. Now, with my parents, other family, friends’ parents and witnessing some old friends passing, I started feeling the death for the first time. That said, I am actually comforted to hear the scientific explanation of our aging and what’s going on with our brain and how we can try to slow it down. My mother ate super healthy, home cooked farm stuff, but once she developed dementia, all she wanted was sweets.

I noticed with my Mom, that when she didnt get enough oxygen (ie: move her body to breathe more), her mind would be foggy. I caught on, and would ask her "did you walk the hallway today, Mom?" If she said "no", then I watched the conversation be dull and flat. When she said "yes!", we had a normal, spirited conversation. I'm glad I noticed that connection, as Im 100% convinced that keeping in motion is the KEY to brain health.

Once my granddad stopped walking to the fresh food market, abt 15 min walk + shopping and return (he did it almost daily), he said that his life was over. And true enough, about two years later he died. He was in his mid 80s, smoked two packs a day, survived tuberculosis, poverty, world wars, drank alcohol more than water, but walking was his test of good health. As a young and mid aged man he walked for miles and miles and in his 80s was to the market. Well, the research shows now that walking and carrying weight as in shopping bags have enormous health benefits. My father walked the same way, but did not drink much and never put a cigarette to his mouth. He died a year earlier in his 80s from his father. And the end came about the year after he couldn’t walk well anymore. Why he suddenly became weak to walk, I don’t know because he wasn’t physically ill, but mentally he became very depressed.

I hate to say this but how much compensation has Lisa Mosconi received from big pharma? I say this because 30 years ago my mom took an all natural product called Wild yam cream -WYC to deal with her menopause issues . Not only did it help her with those issues. Fast forward, my mom lived to age 87 with no complications of dementia, breast cancer or brittle bones. Note my mom was on the WYC for six years. My mom is one out of nine sisters and 6 of her younger sisters ended up with dementia, they were not on the WYC. The only medication my mom required from age 48 to 87 was thyroxine. Lastly my mom never really exercised throughout her life but she cooked almost everyday of her life, enjoyed listening to podcasts, stayed in touch with family overseas by Skype and was always surrounded by people who loved her. Ultimately the WYC has worked for so many women as it's all natural and relatively cheap. Yet few people know about WYC. Could it be because big pharma won't make money. We are of nature so why do we need something not of nature to feel and be healthier????

What I love about this doctor is how she refers to the research as EVER EVOLVING, points out weaknesses in the research she has studied, and ongoingly speaks in terms of "what we know thus far" rather than treating science as ABSOLUTE or DEFINITIVE. Anyone properly trained in research knows that you can verify or falsify a theory but there are no HARD TRUTHS in science. The last few years there has been a great deal of misunderstanding and a lack of scientific humility among well known top doctors. I find hope, anew, in the wonder and promise of doing systematic research using strong methods that can be replicated and build upon the body of knowledge we current have at our disposal. Thank you so much for doing this interview! Never heard of either of you - just happened to stumble across this video! It feels like a God-sent so THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤

I'm 65, and when going through menopause it was determined that HRT put women at risk for heart problems & we were denied HRT. So many of us went through years being miserable when we didn't need to be. I'm just thankful that the mindset is being changed regarding women's health. Of course, this is likely bc it is women Dr's & researchers who are now speaking out as opposed to mainly men making decisions for a woman's health concerns.

I enjoyed this video. I started perimenopause at 54. I changed my diet in a very radical way. I flipped to a ketogenic diet. Radical keto. Less than 20 grams of carbs a day. Increased saturated fat. Fat is my fuel. I have reversed the weight gain. Lost it off my midsection. Hot flashes are barely noticeable. Mental acuity is back. Sleeping better. Periods are back. I don’t understand all the connections but when I make sure that I have the fat I need and quality meat, everything in my body celebrates my choices. Cholesterol isn’t something that I need to worry about now. Sugar is my enemy. In all forms. I am thrilled that these issues are coming to light. Each woman needs to find their sweet spot. Some do great on a more veggie based diet. Some do not.

@waffle_chair9269 2 ай бұрын

I’ve heard of keto brining back periods and clarity for women before. I really think there is something to it, and I think it’s from the microbiome, making the neurotransmitters in the gut, that then effects the brain, as a result of low carbs, hence keto. Keto was originally for epileptic kids. So it all makes sense and ties in together.

High fat diet is not good for the heart. There is increasing evidence against Keto for this reason. I agree that lowering carbs is important. Most important is cutting out sugar completely. I don’t believe that veggie diet is good over 50. I used to be pescatarian but re-introduced meat because I felt I wasn’t getting good quality protein. I feel much better after adding some meat to my diet. Best thing you can do to protect against Alzheimer’s is to go on body identical HRT.

@dianamariewells1437 2 ай бұрын

Healthy Keto is healthy fat, your brain is fat, hormones are cholesterol, fat is life. Mid 50s, regular cycle, no menopause symptoms. Sugar is deadly, it's a fact. It causes blindness, death, it's very linked to dementia too... Doubtless it effects our sensitive reproductive systems. Makes more sense than fat doesn't it? Gluconeogenesis, your liver makes all the sugar (1-2 tsps) your body needs. Sugar is subsided by the US government. $$$. Sugar is poisonous in large or continuous amounts. It hurts women more than men but it kills us all. Pretty sure it causes menopause too.

I tell you categorically there is no diagnosis more cruel than an early onset dementia diagnosis and also when diagnosed early the progression tends to be a lot faster - it's absolutely devastating for everyone. Now what for many woman also generally happens in their early 50s? Menopause. The lack of research in this area is just blatant misogyny and sexism.

There's a problem with this mentality that the body is malfunctioning when it goes into menopause, that it will automatically decline, and that taking medication is the only way to fix it. Those hormones change over time for a reason, and we must first talk about the bad effects of the Western diet on the post-menopause body. Women in the East don't have most of these symptoms until they eat a Western diet.

This is such an important conversation… Thank you Rich for hosting Lisa. I will read her latest book book, “The Menopause Brain”. My mom was never formally diagnosed with dementia. She had symptoms for years that went either unnoticed, or ignored by Western medical doctors. She was on HRT for several years of her life. She died at 89 with late stage dementia and squamous cell carcinoma. The squamous cell carcinoma went unnoticed and untreated for several months. Because of her dementia, she was unable to articulate what was going on with her body and my stepdad honored her wishes not to go to the doctor. My sister and I got involved after an emergency trip to the hospital forced my stepdad to include us, it was far too late. Without getting into any gory details. My mom’s cancer wound was necrotic. Watching a vibrant human being who had always been active and engaged and worked well into her 70s deteriorate mentally with heart wrenching. It’s been a little over three years and it still haunts me. I am 68 and I’ve never been on HRT. I have been vegan for 20 years, vegetarian years before. 20+ years ago all we were offered was Premarin which I would never consider taking for ethical reasons. Menopause went very smoothly for me so I felt I had no reason for HRT. it was my understanding it’s too late at my age for any hormone supplementation to have any effect. I’m anxious to understand more and hope that Dr. Lisa‘s book answers some questions before my doctor appointment (first Western medical doctor appointment in 20 years) next week. I would have loved Julie being included in this Episode,. My guess is she would have had great questions and a lot to offer and add to this conversation. Thanks so much Rich for always keeping us on top of the latest quality information!

I also want to comment on Dr. Mosconi's observations about how so many women--of my generation and prior--have been so poorly prepared for the totality of what menopause involves. I was in a doctoral program in clinical psychology in my mid-forties, and I remember going to my male advisor when I was rather distraught because I could feel that my brain was not functioning for me at the level it always had. He sort of...poo pooed my experience, which felt extremely invalidating and dismissive. I not only knew my brain well, but because I was smart, had IDENTIFIED strongly with my good brain all my life, and so was keenly aware of when that good brain was not functioning well. All I had heard prior to this about menopause concerned hot flashes and night sweats, and it's STILL largely what I hear in media marketing products to address menopausal change. But do you know what? Menopause to me was nothing less than a shattering of my identity. I was so ill prepared for this and find that...infuriating. Thank you, Dr. Mosconi, for your research. I would love to meet you one day and thank you in person for validating the experiences of centuries, if not millennia, of women everywhere. F#CK! It's about time, right??

I agree with this statement so profoundly! I hit early menopause at 43 and my (male) doctor kept telling me I was too young. I said I knew my body and was never off cycle and I could not sleep, was waking up covered in sweat and having hot flashes every 15 minutes. I knew something was not right. 6 months later, he finally tested me. My hormones were at a post menopausal level. He put me on HRT because I was having so many issues. Soon after, I woke up with SSHNL in my left ear. After many therapies(steroids, shots in my ear, and hyperbaric oxygen) I got most of my hearing back. I have read that low estrogen from menopause can be a culprit. I also started having mental decline and it is to a point that I am worried I will have major issues as I age. I am taking supplements, have changed my diet and 3 years later, I woke up with the same sshnl in the same ear. Still no doctors know why as of now. Going through the same treatments. I also broke my ankle and have fallen a few times down steps and off a ladder. Who knew that my life would be over at 48? It started at 43, but now I see that life was good, then life was bad. I feel bad for my husband because I snap at him cause I am angry when I can't recall words or I say left when my brain was thinking right. I do not have a history of dementia in my family. I'm not sure if that matters. I got my period at 11 and it was intense. It hit me hard. I was angry and I remember going to a park called Mother Goose Land and telling my mom, "I'm too big for this now. I can't have fun here anymore." So, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I feel this way when the hormones left me. I am not on anything currently and wonder if I should be, but am upset that there are not menopause clinics. There should be! People tell you NOTHING about what this might be like other than the jokes of hot flashes, which I try to tell my friends are not funny. They think that no periods will be fun. I tell them to embrace them because my life ended when they did.

Effects would likely range from neutral to negative but research (as her meta-analysis demonstrated) suggested you will benefit from HRT now.

I have a supplement regimen I have to take to get through pre-menopause. Women NEED certain supplements to survive this transition, and they are well-documented. You can use supplements to help boost certain hormone levels. As much as I enjoyed this interview, it lacked nutritional information, which is KEY to staying healthy during menopause. While she did talk about diet, a lot was missing, especially around cortisol levels and their effect on brain health and female hormones. For many women, high-intensity exercise is not helpful during menopause because of the elevated cortisol levels it produces.

6 questions: 1. Why don't you mention that not all women experience menopause symptoms? 2. Why are there no studies of what lifestyle elements women who do not have any menopause symptoms have in common ? 3. Given the existence of the nocebo effect, to which extent do women develop symptoms because they are continuously told to expect them? 4. Given the fact that current altzheimers figures mostly relate to a generation of women who were less intellectually, professionally and athletically active than men, and also generally more oppressed and less free, isn't it likely that the brain decline noticed after menopause is caused at least partially by the fact that these factors speed up mental decline as one ages? 5. How much money would doctors lose if women were symptom-free naturally? 6. How much money would the pharma industry lose?

The nuns took part in this scientific research project and even gave their brains (after death) to do autopsies. Many of those brains looked exactly like those of Alzheimers patients, but none of the nuns ever showed any symptoms! They lived a perfectly healthy life within their rather strictly regulated and very structured environment. So the conclusion was, that dementia is not so much a matter of plaques in our brains, but a matter of establishing nurturing routines and staying active in a largely supporting environment...

I am 62 and relearning algebra, calculus, and brushing up on my French and starting to learn quantum mechanics. Creating new connections in the brain and keeping all of its modalities sharp is just as important as all the other steps she discussed. I feel very lucky that I did not have any menopausal difficulties, not a single hot flash or any cognitive issues.

Dr.'s put mom on T4 medication, yet never checked to see what it was converting to, or not converting to. Medical ignorance was the problem in both problems and still is. Mom's dementia did not worsen when T3 medication was given. She is 88, almost 89 years old. Ignorance in the medical community was my mother's downfall.

I think it’s important to note that studies of women taking HRT looked at people who do not eat optimally. It’s important to note also that reducing the risk by 30% means that many other things are going on. I really distrust pulls as the answer. We do not have a full answer here but please note that an optimal diet impacts hormone levels as well. I personally would never take added hormones. I think it is hubris to make any claims that scientists know all the effects of overriding a complex messaging system of hormones over the lifespan. The overarching truth is that science, under the influence of a pharma industry whose main goal is making money, has a dismal record when it comes to dosing women with hormones. I would suggest getting one’s own body in tip top condition so that its own systems of regulation can function properly. It’s like the fact that eating greens mitigates some of the risk from smoking. That doesn’t mean the primary intervention shouldn’t be getting rid of smoking. Begin with optimal lifestyle- and not a half-assed watered-down approach. People deserve to know that a fully compliant WFPB diet with an hour of daily activity that is mostly zone2-3, but also includes vigorous zone aerobic, strength training, stretching and balance activity is what is required. Right- that’s not how modern American work life works. It takes a lot of time. Still, this is what is needed to be healthy- along with lifelong learning, social connections and serious stress mitigation. We are living in a sick sick society so it takes a lot of effort just to normalize our body/mind/heart. After getting sick I needed to radically re-assess my material standards in order to prioritize wellness. Sadly our medical institutions are not giving correct information, so step one is educating yourself. It is shocking to discover that moneyed interests actually spend millions to block research and dissemination of the truth. Try the correct, fully compliant WFPB diet diets and add in a full complement of movement. Do this fully for a year. Then let’s talk.

I was totally fine having a sixpack until my mid forties until my hormones fluctuated and I was also mentally a wreck. After taking all 3 necessary hormones I slowly recovered and got my "brain" back, I got my energy and stamina to do my job effectively again, got rid of brain fog and heart palpitations and be able to lift heavy again 4-5 times a week. Not every woman is equal healthwise. I am "back" since I got my hormones back and I am thankful for that every day. This is my case only. Can*t speak for the rest of menopausal women.

When my moms alzheimers advanced such that she couldn't refuse the flu shot (with thimerisol) we saw her most rapid decline within a couple weeks. After that she could barely walk, when walking was a huge point for her, almost compl etely stopped talking and for the first time seemed unsure who I was. There are a variety of things that seem to tip the scale. I studied everything I could find and took her in to my home so I could intervene for her. In her own life she made a lot of choices with food (high carb, non organic, very low in satursted fat and all fats) medicine (statins and antidepressants), lots if strong cleaning chemicals, and procedure such as hysterectomy that were likely unfavorable for her brain and nervous system. It is really such a tragic experience. I'm so glad more research is being done.

Lisa mentioned a Dr Roberta (can't remember last name). I heard her lecture on an Alzheimer's Summit, and she said that when women transition into menopause, the brain becomes inefficient at using glucose for energy. To overcome this, women should eat adequate protein (which will become the primary energy source for the brain during this transition). If they don't, this energy-deprived brain can present with dementia-like symptoms. I don't know what type of (permanent or temporary?) damage this can cause the brain, and I don't know if men's brains also benefit from adequate protein intake. But many aging men and women often don't consume adequate protein, so this should be a consistent education piece for a healthy brain.

I totally agree with you here! I have always heard that adequate protein is key! You cannot get all of the ESSENTIAL amino acids and fatty acids that come in the form of meat, through plants! It just is not possible! They don’t exist in plants. So pushing a plant, heavy diet is a little skeptical for me. I eat some plants and some fruits, but I make sure I’m hitting adequate amounts of protein daily! most elderly and older population do not get nearly enough protein in their diet. Also, you cannot get all of your essential vitamins through mostly plants. Meat, of all origins, healthy, fat, are 100% necessary to survive! You do not need plants to survive, just fact! So, in her healthy explanation, I wish you would’ve added and talked about the fact that you cannot hit all of your nutrition goals mostly through plants, you need adequate animal protein.🤷🏻‍♀️ I am 60 years old, very healthy, extremely active and flu through menopause at the age of 53.

For sure bioidentical hormones would be only option for me to try, I´ d never want to try the non-bioidentical ones. I still wonder a lot about the counterintuitive aspect; that nature would create a system as in menopause that we would need to take man made hormones as crutches to actually promote our health from that point on. It just doesn´t make sense that there would be no side effects on some level. And until I find an answer to this I probably won´t feel safe taking even bioidentical hormones.

I am a detrans woman after being a transman for 14 years. I can't produce any hormones, and my estrogen was too low for a while, which put me into menopause at 28 years old. I've had the right dose of estrogen for a few months but hot flashes have taken a long time to begin to subside. I noticed that my memory the last 6-8 months has been terrible. I blank out and dissociate often. I've had hot flashes that somewhat smoothed over after a month of estrogen but I still have them 3 months later. And when she mentioned panic attacks among a list of other symptoms of menopause I was stunned. One of the doctors I saw tried to say my hot flashes were panic attacks to dismiss it as not real. She was caught not listening to me describe the symptoms. And she has it backwards. I've had BOTH panic attacks and hot flashes. I know the difference and it's very obvious. This information is a miracle in my life and I will be showing it to the doctors, as every one of them hasn't listened to what I was saying and has been making careless incompetent mistakes.

The only thing that was offered was a uterine ablation. Fast forward 10 years and I have forgetfulness, night sweats, issues with sleep, no idea if I have a cycle due to the ablation….and my concern is the memory issues. Forgetfulness, short term memory issues, directional issues (not remembering how to get to a destination that I go to often). I feel if I had a doctor 10 yrs ago that actually listened to me they would have been more investigative. Or maybe not. Our healthcare system stinks. I have worked hard to be preventative yet get disregarded from doctors because I’m not “sick”. Such a disappointment.
