Menopause — A discussion between Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Dr. Lisa Mosconi-The Good, the Bad and the Unknown of the Menopausal Brain

I will listen to most people’s take on menopause and I thought this would be a good opportunity to bash a man for telling me about a woman’s menopause but I was happily mistaken. Dr. Gupta listens to a female regarding menopause. It is a doctors point of view, but at least by a female.

Dr. Lisa Mosconi has an interesting take on menopause and it is worth a read or listen.

What happens in the brain during menopause? As it turns out, the brain gets remodeled, and even rewired, during that very specific time of life. And, while menopause often includes symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, and mood swings… you may be surprised to learn it’s not all bad! On this episode of Chasing Life, Dr. Sanjay Gupta learns from neuroscientist Dr. Lisa Mosconi that there are upsides to this biological phase natural to half the human population. Plus, ways female-identifying people can prepare for it, and a possible link between menopause and Alzheimer’s.
