*20%discount code below* One of my goals with this podcast is not to only have some of the best speakers on topics that interest me on, but also to have a neuroscientist on. Which happened in this conversation! I was excited to have Amanda Higgins Neuroscience PhD on to discuss brain aging and why its not only hormones and our weight we should be paying attention to in perimenopause and mid life. We seem to forget about the brains importance when it comes to health and feeling good. And this is definitely an OVERLOOKED TOPIC when it comes to perimenopause. So what really happens to the brain as we age and what can we do about it? In this episode, I sit down with a neuroscientist to explore the science of cognitive decline, the root causes of dementia, and the practical strategies we can use to protect and enhance brain function over time. We discuss the latest research on brain aging, key lifestyle habits that support long-term cognitive health, and actionable steps you can take to keep your mind sharp, resilient, and high-performing at every stage of life. Whether you’re looking to prevent dementia, optimize mental clarity, or simply better understand your brain, this conversation offers powerful insights grounded in science.
