In this episode, we're take a closer look at one of the top fears we have about aging –  cognitive decline and specifically, Alzheimer's disease.

Unlike mobility issues or cancer that affects what you can do, Alzheimer's is a disease that robs you of your very identity.

Alarmingly, an estimated 6.9 million Americans over the age of 65 are living with the disease, and 2/3 are women.

Fortunately, you don't have to leave your risk of developing Alzheimer's to chance. While there are non-modifiable risk factors like age, genetics, and sex, there are many modifiable risk factors that can reduce your risk by up to 90 percent.

The key is to approach it like a game a chess - not checkers - and look five or six steps ahead because the disease process starts 20-30 years before the onset of symptoms like memory loss.

Based on the latest research, I've identified 8 essential habits you can adopt for optimal brain health. The book I reference in this episode are: "The Alzheimer's Solution" by Dean & Ayesha Sherzai, MD, and "The End of Alzheimer's" by Dale Bredesen, MD.

If you want to maintain a sharp, healthy brain well into your 80s and beyond, this is an episode you're going to want to listen to from beginning to end.

Throughout our conversation, Renae emphasizes the power of cycle thinking—understanding the natural rhythms of the female body—and how this can reshape our work and leadership styles.

We also discuss how the menstrual cycle affects sleep, eating and exercise, and the critical need for more research on estrogen's impact on women's brains.

Together, Amy and Renae advocate for a balanced approach to leadership that embraces healthy masculinity and strong feminine principles. You’ll hear practical tips for aligning daily activities with the menstrual cycle, managing physiological stress, and honoring the cyclical nature of women's dietary needs.

In this episode, we'll explore why you might want to postpone menopause, despite the freedom from your menstrual cycles.

We'll discuss the symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause, such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and brain fog, and why maintaining estrogen levels longer can offer significant long-term health benefits, including the protective effects of estrogen on brain health, bone density, and overall cardiovascular and metabolic health.

We'll also cover lifestyle choices, dietary habits, and other factors that can either accelerate or delay menopause. Curious about how regular exercise, a Mediterranean diet, and even moderate alcohol consumption play a role? Tune in for these insights and much more.

Plus, if you didn't catch our last two episodes, I highly recommend going back to get the complete picture.
