In this episode of GRUFFtalk, host Barbara Hannah Grufferman welcomes Dr. Margaret Nachtigall to the show to talk through the latest research about how hot flashes can contribute to dementia and other forms of cognitive functioning issues, and the steps women can take to mitigate the risks. This episode is a follow-up to a recent episode (Episode 24) where they discussed the connection between hot flashes and the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, based on the latest research from the North American Menopause Society (NAMS).

They also review other new research that women in midlife should know about.

Dr. Margaret is a reproductive endocrinologist at NYU Langone Health and is the Medical Director of Menopause Cheat Sheet, a free weekly newsletter Barbara and Dr. Margaret publish in partnership to help women navigate life before, during, and after menopause.
