Book Synopsis
La menopausia y la perimenopausia siguen siendo un misterio para la mayoría de los médicos, dejando a las pacientes frustradas al enfrentarse a síntomas que van desde los sofocos y el insomnio hasta la confusión mental. Como destacada neurocientífica y especialista en salud cerebral femenina, la doctora Mosconi desentraña estos misterios al revelar que la menopausia no solo afecta los ovarios: es un espectáculo hormonal donde el cerebro ocupa el centro del escenario. La disminución de la hormona estrógeno durante la menopausia influye en todo, desde la temperatura corporal hasta el estado de ánimo y la memoria, y puede abrir la puerta al deterioro cognitivo en la etapa posterior de la vida. Para superar estos desafíos, Mosconi nos ofrece los enfoques más avanzados: explica el papel de las terapias de reemplazo hormonal de última generación, como los «estrógenos de diseño», la anticoncepción hormonal y los cambios clave en el estilo de vida que abarcan dieta, ejercicio, autocuidado y diálogo interno. De forma muy convincente, la doctora Mosconi desmiente el mito de que la menopausia significa un final, demostrando que, en realidad, es una transición. Entonces, si sabemos cuidarnos durante la menopausia, podemos emerger con un cerebro renovado y fortalecido, dando la bienvenida a un nuevo capítulo de vida, lleno de significado y vitalidad.An instant New York Times bestseller! The New York Times bestselling author of The XX Brain shows women how to navigate menopause successfully and come out the other side with an even better brain. Menopause and perimenopause are still a black box to most doctors, leaving patients exasperated as they grapple with symptoms ranging from hot flashes to insomnia to brain fog. As a leading neuroscientist and women's brain health specialist, Dr. Mosconi unravels these mysteries by revealing how menopause doesn't just impact the ovaries--it's a hormonal show in which the brain takes center stage. The decline of the hormone estrogen during menopause influences everything from body temperature to mood to memory, potentially paving the way for cognitive decline later in life. To conquer these challenges successfully, Dr. Mosconi brings us the latest approaches--explaining the role of cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies like "designer estrogens," hormonal contraception, and key lifestyle changes encompassing diet, exercise, self-care, and self-talk. Best of all, Dr. Mosconi dispels the myth that menopause signifies an end, demonstrating that it's actually a transition. Contrary to popular belief, if we know how to take care of ourselves during menopause, we can emerge with a renewed, enhanced brain--ushering in a meaningful and vibrant new chapter of life.
