In this episode of Strength in Hormones, we’re diving into the powerful connection between hormones and brain health. We’ll explore the critical role of estrogen in cognitive function—how it supports memory, focus, and neuro-protection, and what happens when levels shift in peri-menopause and drop in menopause. Next, we’ll discuss cortisol’s impact on cognitive resilience, why stress feels more overwhelming in midlife, and strategies to support balanced cortisol levels. Then, we’ll unpack the link between glucose, insulin, and brain health—how blood sugar dysregulation contributes to memory decline, focus issues, and even conditions like type 3 diabetes. Finally, we’ll break down how hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can support cognitive health through menopause. Tune in to learn how you can protect your brain health and feel your best.
