Science is science, right? Unfortunately, this is not always the case, especially when it comes to women’s health. Our understanding of the human brain and body has been clouded by years of gender bias—for decades many scientists and doctors have assumed that men and women are really the same, except for the bits and bobs that can be covered by a bikini. Yet, as this podcast guest and renowned researcher Dr. Lisa Mosconi points out, this kind of “bikini medicine” has dramatic implications for women’s mental and physical health that go beyond our reproductive organs, affecting every part of the brain and body. As she describes in her amazing book, The XX Brain, since the time of Darwin there was a long-held assumption that women’s brains are inferior because they are smaller, but women are generally smaller than men, which was not taken into account for decades, and still persists subconsciously in many areas of medicine and neuroscience.

The Model Health show: Secrets of the Female Brain
What do you think of when you hear the term “women’s health?” In her new book, The XX Brain, Dr. Lisa Mosconi fills in the gaps on women’s health and shares research-based insights on how to protect and sustain the female brain. Her work is massively shifting the conversation around what actually differentiates women from men, and more importantly how to nurture and appreciate those differences. I hope this episode will inspire and empower you to maximize your brain health and live a longer, healthier life.

The Chalene Show
“Today, I sit down with Neuroscience and Women’s Health expert, Dr. Lisa Mosconi (director of the Women’s Brain Initiative). While studies show more women than men develop Alzheimer’s, research proves that simple lifestyle changes improve cognition and, in turn, decrease our risk for this disease. On this episode, Dr. Mosconi and I discuss what those lifestyle changes are, the difference between women’s and men’s brains and so much more! Get ready to take some notes because this interview could possibly change the future of your health.” — Chalene Johnson. Tune in here.
JJ Virgin’s Reignite Podcast
World-renowned neuroscientist and neuro-nutritionist Dr. Lisa Mosconi joins JJ today as they discuss a vitally important topic: women’s brain health. Women's brains age distinctly from men's, due in large part to the decline of a key brain-protective hormone: estrogen. Dr. Lisa and JJ discuss the roles of estrogen in the body and the brain, as well as the connection between menopause and the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Many factors contribute to risk for Alzheimer’s, but a lot of them boil down to... The podcast is here.
Dr. Anna Cabeca’s Couch Talk
I loved talking to Dr. Anna about women's health and women's brains! In this episode of Couch Talk, we discussed why physicians should use an integrative medical approach to women’s health to have maximum impact, prevent symptoms, and get a clearer sense of what’s going on in our body.

How do you keep your brain healthy and active? Are you in menopause or perimenopause? Here’s the link!

Gastropod: Can Diet Stop Alzheimer’s?
Every three seconds, someone in the world develops Alzheimer's disease. It's a devastating disease: millions of people, as well as their caretakers, spend years dealing with disabling disorientation and memory loss. But, after years of failed drug trials, scientists are now realizing that the disease begins with structural changes in the brain decades before sufferers show any symptoms. And some researchers now believe that diet may be the most important factor in determining whether or not those brain changes take place. Listen in now to find out: Can changing what you eat prevent Alzheimer's?
