Full Transcript Your Brain Is Changing During Menopause 0:01 I want to share with 0:01 I want to share with you a statistic that 0:02 you a statistic that 0:04 shocked me 0:04 shocked me when I first 0:04 when I first 0:04 when I first learned about it in 0:05 learned about it in 0:05 learned about it in medical school. Women 0:06 medical school. Women 0:06 medical school. Women account for nearly two- 0:07 account for nearly two- 0:07 account for nearly two- thirds of 0:08 thirds of 0:08 thirds of Alzheimer's cases 0:09 Alzheimer's cases 0:09 Alzheimer's cases in the United States. 0:10 in the United States. 0:11 in the United States. Not because we live 0:12 Not because we live 0:12 Not because we live longer, and not because of our 0:13 longer, and not because of our 0:13 longer, and not because of our genetics, but because of what 0:14 genetics, but because of what 0:14 genetics, but because of what happens to 0:15 happens to 0:15 happens to our brains during 0:16 our brains during 0:16 our brains during menopause. Literally, 0:18 menopause. Literally, 0:18 menopause. Literally, menopause accelerates 0:19 menopause accelerates 0:20 menopause accelerates this transition. And 0:21 this transition. And 0:21 this transition. And no one talks about it. 0:22 no one talks about it. 0:25 So today I'm going 0:25 So today I'm going to tell you what exactly 0:26 to tell you what exactly 0:26 to tell you what exactly happens to your 0:27 happens to your 0:27 happens to your brain during 0:28 brain during 0:28 brain during menopause and why it 0:29 menopause and why it 0:29 menopause and why it matters when you 0:30 matters when you 0:30 matters when you take action. How 0:32 take action. How 0:32 take action. How can 0:33 can 0:33 can Alzheimer's disease be prevented? 0:34 Alzheimer's disease be prevented? 0:34 Alzheimer's disease be prevented? How can brain- 0:35 How can brain- 0:35 How can brain- related problems be prevented 0:36 related problems be prevented 0:37 related problems be prevented ? So I want to 0:38 ? So I want to 0:38 ? So I want to look at hormones, 0:39 look at hormones, 0:39 look at hormones, lifestyle, and 0:39 lifestyle, and 0:39 lifestyle, and all sorts of tips that will 0:40 all sorts of tips that will 0:40 all sorts of tips that will help you 0:41 help you 0:41 help you protect your brain 0:42 protect your brain 0:42 protect your brain for the long 0:43 for the long 0:43 for the long term. Hi, 0:44 term. Hi, 0:44 term. Hi, I'm Dr. Jennifer 0:45 I'm Dr. Jennifer 0:45 I'm Dr. Jennifer Rollins, an 0:45 Rollins, an 0:45 Rollins, an integrative obstetrician 0:47 integrative obstetrician -gynecologist, and this is one 0:48 -gynecologist, and this is one 0:48 -gynecologist, and this is one of my most important 0:49 of my most important 0:49 of my most important videos. As someone who
Estrogen: Your Brainu2019s Maintenance Crew 0:50 videos. As someone who 0:50 videos. As someone who carries the APOE4 gene, which 0:51 carries the APOE4 gene, which 0:51 carries the APOE4 gene, which puts you at three times 0:53 puts you at three times 0:53 puts you at three times the risk of 0:53 the risk of 0:53 the risk of Alzheimer's, I want 0:55 Alzheimer's, I want 0:55 Alzheimer's, I want women to know that this is 0:56 women to know that this is 0:56 women to know that this is incredibly important, 0:57 incredibly important, 0:57 incredibly important, and you can make a difference 0:59 and you can make a difference 0:59 and you can make a difference long before 1:00 long before 1:00 long before symptoms appear. 1:01 symptoms appear. 1:01 symptoms appear. Most people 1:02 Most people 1:02 Most people think of estrogen 1:03 think of estrogen 1:03 think of estrogen simply as a 1:03 simply as a 1:04 simply as a reproductive 1:04 reproductive 1:04 reproductive hormone. Pregnancy, 1:06 hormone. Pregnancy, 1:06 hormone. Pregnancy, menstruation, 1:07 menstruation, 1:07 menstruation, menopause—that's the context in which it is 1:08 menopause—that's the context in which it is 1:10 most often 1:10 most often mentioned. But in 1:11 mentioned. But in 1:11 mentioned. But in your brain, 1:12 your brain, 1:12 your brain, estrogen 1:13 estrogen 1:13 estrogen receptors are everywhere. In 1:14 receptors are everywhere. In 1:14 receptors are everywhere. In the part that allows you 1:15 the part that allows you 1:15 the part that allows you to remember things, 1:16 to remember things, 1:16 to remember things, and in the part that processes the 1:18 and in the part that processes the 1:18 and in the part that processes the information you hear. And 1:19 information you hear. And 1:19 information you hear. And most women are 1:20 most women are 1:20 most women are not told by doctors that 1:21 not told by doctors that 1:21 not told by doctors that estrogen 1:22 estrogen 1:22 estrogen receptors are scattered 1:23 receptors are scattered 1:23 receptors are scattered throughout the brain. 1:24 throughout the brain. 1:24 throughout the brain. The simplest way 1:25 The simplest way 1:25 The simplest way to explain this is to say 1:26 to explain this is to say 1:26 to explain this is to say that estrogen is like a " 1:27 that estrogen is like a " repair crew" 1:28 repair crew" 1:28 repair crew" for your brain. It 1:30 for your brain. It 1:30 for your brain. It supports 1:30 supports 1:30 supports the vital activity of 1:31 the vital activity of 1:31 the vital activity of your nerve 1:32 your nerve 1:32 your nerve cells. He protects 1:33 cells. He protects 1:33 cells. He protects them. It ensures 1:34 them. It ensures 1:34 them. It ensures their interaction with each
Why Brain Fog Happens 1:35 their interaction with each 1:35 their interaction with each other. Thanks to this, 1:37 other. Thanks to this, 1:37 other. Thanks to this, you have a better memory, 1:38 you have a better memory, 1:38 you have a better memory, faster thinking, and 1:39 faster thinking, and 1:39 faster thinking, and overall your brain works 1:40 overall your brain works 1:40 overall your brain works efficiently. It 1:42 efficiently. It 1:42 efficiently. It helps remove 1:43 helps remove 1:44 helps remove so-called sticky 1:44 so-called sticky 1:44 so-called sticky amyloid plaques, which 1:46 amyloid plaques, which 1:46 amyloid plaques, which accumulate over 1:47 accumulate over 1:47 accumulate over time and are associated with 1:48 time and are associated with 1:48 time and are associated with Alzheimer's disease 1:49 Alzheimer's disease . When 1:51 . When 1:51 . When estrogen levels begin to 1:52 estrogen levels begin to 1:52 estrogen levels begin to fluctuate and 1:53 fluctuate and 1:53 fluctuate and decline during 1:54 decline during 1:54 decline during perimenopause, the 1:54 perimenopause, the 1:54 perimenopause, the repair 1:55 repair 1:55 repair crew is disrupted 1:57 crew is disrupted . Connections become 1:57 . Connections become 1:57 . Connections become weaker, 1:59 weaker, 1:59 weaker, energy efficiency changes, and 2:00 energy efficiency changes, and 2:00 energy efficiency changes, and the brain literally 2:01 the brain literally 2:01 the brain literally shrinks in volume. 2:02 shrinks in volume. 2:02 shrinks in volume. That's when women 2:03 That's when women 2:03 That's when women start complaining 2:05 start complaining 2:05 start complaining about "head fog." 2:06 about "head fog." 2:06 about "head fog." They can't 2:07 They can't 2:07 They can't find the right 2:08 find the right 2:08 find the right word. They know 2:09 word. They know 2:09 word. They know it, but it seems to be 2:10 it, but it seems to be 2:10 it, but it seems to be slipping away and it is 2:10 slipping away and it is 2:10 slipping away and it is impossible to find it. 2:12 impossible to find it. 2:12 impossible to find it. Or: "What was the name of that 2:13 Or: "What was the name of that 2:13 Or: "What was the name of that guy I 2:14 guy I 2:14 guy I went to high
The Truth About Hormone Therapy & Dementia 2:15 went to high 2:15 went to high school with?" Why can't I 2:16 school with?" Why can't I 2:16 school with?" Why can't I remember this? Where did I 2:18 remember this? Where did I 2:18 remember this? Where did I put my keys? 2:19 put my keys? 2:19 put my keys? This is not just a sign of 2:20 This is not just a sign of 2:20 This is not just a sign of aging. It's not because of 2:22 aging. It's not because of 2:22 aging. It's not because of stress. These are real, 2:23 stress. These are real, 2:23 stress. These are real, measurable 2:23 measurable 2:24 measurable biological changes 2:25 biological changes 2:25 biological changes occurring in 2:26 occurring in 2:26 occurring in your brain. 2:26 your brain. 2:27 your brain. Estrogen no longer 2:28 Estrogen no longer 2:28 Estrogen no longer acts on estrogen 2:29 acts on estrogen 2:29 acts on estrogen receptors. So, 2:30 receptors. So, 2:30 receptors. So, your 2:31 your 2:31 your thinking speed and your 2:32 thinking speed and your 2:32 thinking speed and your nerves are not 2:33 nerves are not 2:33 nerves are not properly protected. This 2:35 properly protected. This 2:35 properly protected. This anti-inflammatory 2:35 anti-inflammatory 2:36 anti-inflammatory property of 2:36 property of 2:36 property of estrogen does not work. 2:37 estrogen does not work. 2:38 estrogen does not work. In the United States, 2:39 In the United States, 2:39 In the United States, two-thirds of 2:40 two-thirds of 2:40 two-thirds of Alzheimer's cases 2:41 Alzheimer's cases 2:41 Alzheimer's cases occur in women. 2:42 occur in women. 2:42 occur in women. For a long time, medicine 2:44 For a long time, medicine 2:44 For a long time, medicine believed that this was because 2:45 believed that this was because 2:45 believed that this was because we were simply living 2:46 we were simply living 2:46 we were simply living longer. But 2:47 longer. But 2:47 longer. But research is pointing 2:48 research is pointing 2:48 research is pointing to something new, and 2:49 to something new, and 2:49 to something new, and thanks to Dr. Lisa 2:50 thanks to Dr. Lisa 2:50 thanks to Dr. Lisa Mosconi, we know that 2:51 Mosconi, we know that 2:55 certain 2:55 certain changes occur in the brain during the transition to menopause. You may have 2:56 changes occur in the brain during the transition to menopause. You may have 2:56 changes occur in the brain during the transition to menopause. You may have heard that hormone 2:58 heard that hormone 2:58 heard that hormone therapy increases the 2:59 therapy increases the 2:59 therapy increases the risk of dementia. This 3:00 risk of dementia. This 3:00 risk of dementia. This claim 3:00 claim 3:00 claim came after 3:01 came after 3:01 came after a study in the 3:02 a study in the 3:02 a study in the early 2000s 3:03 early 2000s 3:03 early 2000s that attracted 3:03 that attracted 3:03 that attracted huge attention and 3:04 huge attention and 3:04 huge attention and scared a whole 3:05 scared a whole 3:05 scared a whole generation of women and 3:05 generation of women and 3:05 generation of women and doctors away from hormones—it 3:06 doctors away from hormones—it was the 3:07 was the 3:07 was the Women's Health Initiative 3:08 Women's Health Initiative . I've 3:09 . I've 3:09 . I've talked about this several times before,
The Critical Window for Brain Protection 3:10 talked about this several times before, 3:10 talked about this several times before, especially in my 3:11 especially in my 3:11 especially in my video "The 3:11 video "The 3:11 video "The Doctor's Guide to 3:12 Doctor's Guide to 3:12 Doctor's Guide to Hormone 3:12 Hormone 3:12 Hormone Replacement Therapy." 3:13 Replacement Therapy." 3:13 Replacement Therapy." But I want to address 3:14 But I want to address 3:14 But I want to address this issue 3:15 this issue 3:15 this issue directly, 3:16 directly, 3:16 directly, because the story is much more 3:17 because the story is much more 3:17 because the story is much more complicated than what 3:18 complicated than what 3:18 complicated than what was written in the headlines. 3:19 was written in the headlines. 3:19 was written in the headlines. The women in that 3:19 The women in that 3:19 The women in that study were an 3:20 study were an 3:21 study were an average of 65 years old 3:22 average of 65 years old 3:22 average of 65 years old when they started 3:22 when they started 3:23 when they started hormone therapy. 3:24 hormone therapy. 3:24 hormone therapy. Most of them were 3:25 Most of them were 3:25 Most of them were well beyond that 3:26 well beyond that 3:26 well beyond that 10-year period, 3:27 10-year period, 3:27 10-year period, long past 3:27 long past 3:27 long past menopause, and they 3:28 menopause, and they 3:28 menopause, and they were using a 3:29 were using a 3:29 were using a form of estrogen that 3:30 form of estrogen that 3:30 form of estrogen that we hardly 3:31 we hardly 3:31 we hardly use now. This is not 3:32 use now. This is not 3:32 use now. This is not the type we 3:33 the type we 3:33 the type we prescribe. It 3:34 prescribe. It 3:34 prescribe. It was made from 3:35 was made from 3:35 was made from horse urine. We 3:36 horse urine. We 3:36 horse urine. We rarely 3:37 rarely 3:37 rarely prescribe it. 3:37 prescribe it. 3:37 prescribe it. 3:39 We mostly prescribe 3:39 We mostly prescribe bioidentical 3:39 bioidentical 3:40 bioidentical estradiol. When 3:40 estradiol. When 3:40 estradiol. When researchers study 3:42 researchers study 3:42 researchers study women who started 3:42 women who started 3:42 women who started taking hormones 3:44 taking hormones 3:44 taking hormones during perimenopause 3:45 during perimenopause 3:45 during perimenopause or within the first 10 3:46 or within the first 10 3:46 or within the first 10 years after 3:46 years after 3:46 years after menopause, the picture 3:47 menopause, the picture 3:47 menopause, the picture looks very 3:48 looks very 3:48 looks very different. A large 3:49 different. A large 3:49 different. A large analysis of 3:50 analysis of 3:50 analysis of over 11,000 women 3:51 over 11,000 women 3:51 over 11,000 women showed that those who 3:52 showed that those who 3:52 showed that those who used 3:53 used 3:53 used hormone therapy 3:54 hormone therapy 3:54 hormone therapy during this window—we 3:55 during this window—we 3:55 during this window—we sometimes call it the 3:56 sometimes call it the 3:56 sometimes call it the “critical window”—had a 3:57 “critical window”—had a 4:00 significantly lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. 4:00 significantly lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The strongest effect 4:01 The strongest effect 4:01 The strongest effect was observed in 4:02 was observed in 4:02 was observed in women who started 4:03 women who started 4:03 women who started therapy before menopause. 4:04 therapy before menopause. 4:04 therapy before menopause. They started early,
Progesterone, Sleep & Brain Health 4:05 They started early, 4:05 They started early, using 4:06 using 4:06 using estradiol, a 4:07 estradiol, a 4:07 estradiol, a bioidentical form of 4:08 bioidentical form of 4:08 bioidentical form of estrogen. Scientists 4:09 estrogen. Scientists 4:09 estrogen. Scientists call this the 4:10 call this the 4:10 call this the critical window. And 4:11 critical window. And 4:11 critical window. And if you're in your 40s 4:12 if you're in your 40s 4:12 if you're in your 40s or early 4:13 or early 4:13 or early 50s now and you're watching this 4:14 50s now and you're watching this 4:15 50s now and you're watching this video, let's 4:15 video, let's 4:15 video, let's talk about how 4:17 talk about how 4:17 talk about how it actually 4:17 it actually 4:17 it actually helps with 4:18 helps with 4:18 helps with hormones. If you 4:19 hormones. If you 4:20 hormones. If you experience “ 4:21 experience “ 4:21 experience “ brain fog,” have trouble sleeping 4:22 brain fog,” have trouble sleeping , have 4:23 , have 4:23 , have mood swings, a family 4:24 mood swings, a family 4:24 mood swings, a family history of 4:25 history of 4:25 history of Alzheimer’s, or 4:26 Alzheimer’s, or 4:26 Alzheimer’s, or are a carrier of the APOE4 gene or 4:27 are a carrier of the APOE4 gene or 4:27 are a carrier of the APOE4 gene or other genetic 4:28 other genetic 4:29 other genetic variants for 4:30 variants for 4:30 variants for Alzheimer’s, 4:30 Alzheimer’s, 4:30 Alzheimer’s, hormone therapy 4:32 hormone therapy is a serious topic 4:33 is a serious topic 4:33 is a serious topic to discuss with your 4:34 to discuss with your 4:34 to discuss with your doctor, not a reason 4:35 doctor, not a reason 4:35 doctor, not a reason to be afraid. 4:36 to be afraid. 4:36 to be afraid. Studies 4:37 Studies 4:37 Studies confirm that this 4:38 confirm that this 4:38 confirm that this helps protect the brain. 4:40 helps protect the brain. 4:40 helps protect the brain. It's an anti-inflammatory 4:41 It's an anti-inflammatory 4:41 It's an anti-inflammatory for your 4:42 for your 4:42 for your brain. And it doesn't matter whether 4:44 brain. And it doesn't matter whether 4:44 brain. And it doesn't matter whether we're talking about a 4:45 we're talking about a 4:45 we're talking about a patch, gel, spray, 4:46 patch, gel, spray, 4:46 patch, gel, spray, or pills—they all 4:47 or pills—they all 4:47 or pills—they all have a positive 4:48 have a positive 4:49 have a positive effect. Just 4:49 effect. Just 4:49 effect. Just remember: if you
Why Strength Training Protects Your Brain 4:50 remember: if you 4:50 remember: if you take estrogen and 4:51 take estrogen and 4:51 take estrogen and you have a uterus, you 4:52 you have a uterus, you 4:52 you have a uterus, you need to take 4:53 need to take 4:53 need to take progesterone to 4:54 progesterone to 4:54 progesterone to support it. The earlier 4:55 support it. The earlier 4:56 support it. The earlier in the transition period, 4:57 in the transition period, the better. The data 4:57 the better. The data 4:57 the better. The data supports that 4:58 supports that 4:58 supports that perimenopause and 4:59 perimenopause and 4:59 perimenopause and even this first 10- 5:00 even this first 10- year window are 5:01 year window are 5:01 year window are crucial. But that does 5:02 crucial. But that does 5:02 crucial. But that does n't mean you can't 5:03 n't mean you can't 5:03 n't mean you can't get it 5:04 get it 5:04 get it if you're 5:04 if you're 5:04 if you're outside that window. It's 5:05 outside that window. It's 5:05 outside that window. It's just a conversation 5:06 just a conversation 5:06 just a conversation you need to have 5:07 you need to have 5:07 you need to have with your doctor 5:08 with your doctor 5:08 with your doctor to know if you're at 5:09 to know if you're at 5:09 to know if you're at increased risk 5:10 increased risk 5:10 increased risk based on other 5:11 based on other 5:11 based on other factors, like 5:12 factors, like 5:12 factors, like cardiovascular 5:12 cardiovascular 5:12 cardiovascular risks, and whether 5:13 risks, and whether 5:15 hormones are right for you at all. This is 5:15 hormones are right for you at all. This is also very important. 5:16 also very important. 5:16 also very important. Some women 5:17 Some women 5:17 Some women choose not 5:18 choose not 5:18 choose not to take hormones. But 5:19 to take hormones. But 5:19 to take hormones. But I also want to 5:20 I also want to 5:20 I also want to talk about 5:20 talk about 5:20 talk about progesterone because it 5:21 progesterone because it 5:21 progesterone because it helps you sleep. 5:23 helps you sleep. 5:23 helps you sleep. So while you sleep, 5:24 So while you sleep, 5:24 So while you sleep, your brain is actually 5:25 your brain is actually 5:26 your brain is actually cleaning out that sticky 5:27 cleaning out that sticky 5:27 cleaning out that sticky residue and basically 5:28 residue and basically 5:28 residue and basically rebooting itself every 5:29 rebooting itself every 5:29 rebooting itself every night. So when 5:31 night. So when 5:31 night. So when perimenopause or 5:32 perimenopause or 5:32 perimenopause or menopause disrupts 5:33 menopause disrupts 5:33 menopause disrupts your sleep, your brain 5:34 your sleep, your brain 5:34 your sleep, your brain loses its nightly
Blood Sugar & Alzheimeru2019s Risk 5:35 loses its nightly 5:35 loses its nightly cleansing cycle, and that's 5:36 cleansing cycle, and that's 5:36 cleansing cycle, and that's very, very important. 5:37 very, very important. 5:37 very, very important. Protecting your sleep is 5:39 Protecting your sleep is 5:39 Protecting your sleep is protecting your brain. 5:40 protecting your brain. 5:40 protecting your brain. Another thing that 5:41 Another thing that 5:41 Another thing that helps is strength 5:42 helps is strength 5:42 helps is strength training. Not light 5:44 training. Not light 5:44 training. Not light activity, but 5:44 activity, but 5:44 activity, but real 5:45 real 5:45 real muscle strain 5:46 muscle strain 5:46 muscle strain two to three times a 5:47 two to three times a 5:47 two to three times a week. Lifting 5:48 week. Lifting 5:48 week. Lifting weights increases 5:49 weights increases 5:49 weights increases the production of a substance 5:50 the production of a substance 5:50 the production of a substance that acts as fertilizer 5:51 that acts as fertilizer 5:51 that acts as fertilizer for your neurons. 5:52 for your neurons. 5:52 for your neurons. Research suggests 5:53 Research suggests that if women are consistent in middle 5:55 that if women are consistent in middle 5:55 that if women are consistent in middle age 5:55 age 5:55 age and 5:56 and 5:56 and develop strong 5:57 develop strong 5:57 develop strong muscles and stability 5:58 muscles and stability , they will have an 5:59 , they will have an 5:59 , they will have an overall reduced 6:00 overall reduced 6:00 overall reduced risk of 6:01 risk of 6:01 risk of brain disease. Finally, I want to 6:03 brain disease. Finally, I want to 6:03 brain disease. Finally, I want to mention 6:04 mention 6:04 mention blood sugar control. There is 6:05 blood sugar control. There is 6:05 blood sugar control. There is a lot of 6:06 a lot of 6:06 a lot of new research emerging 6:08 new research emerging 6:08 new research emerging that elevated 6:09 that elevated 6:09 that elevated blood sugar levels 6:10 blood sugar levels 6:10 blood sugar levels or insulin 6:10 or insulin 6:10 or insulin resistance 6:11 resistance 6:11 resistance in diabetes 6:12 in diabetes 6:12 in diabetes increase the risk of 6:13 increase the risk of 6:13 increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, 6:14 Alzheimer's disease, 6:14 Alzheimer's disease, and it's related to 6:15 and it's related to 6:15 and it's related to how the brain processes 6:16 how the brain processes 6:16 how the brain processes insulin. 6:18 insulin. 6:18 insulin. Low glycemic 6:19 Low glycemic 6:19 Low glycemic index foods, more
How Chronic Stress Affects Your Brain 6:20 index foods, more 6:20 index foods, more protein, and avoiding 6:21 protein, and avoiding 6:21 protein, and avoiding sugar spikes 6:22 sugar spikes 6:22 sugar spikes will protect 6:23 will protect 6:23 will protect your brain's energy. Finally 6:25 your brain's energy. Finally , I know I already said this is the 6:27 , I know I already said this is the last point 6:28 last point , but— 6:29 , but— 6:29 , but— stress management. Chronic 6:30 stress management. Chronic 6:30 stress management. Chronic stress 6:31 stress 6:31 stress literally shrinks the 6:32 literally shrinks the 6:32 literally shrinks the memory center of your 6:33 memory center of your 6:33 memory center of your brain over time.
