Menopause is a stage in a woman's life that is poorly understood, but recent research has shown that estrogen's influence extends beyond the reproductive organs and affects the brain. During menopause, women's brains undergo remodeling, with some areas shrinking, others growing, and regions getting rewired. These brain changes can have implications for brain health in later years. To weather this midlife shift, experts recommend avoiding smoking, engaging in regular exercise (particularly aerobic exercise), adopting a plant-based diet rich in antioxidants, prioritizing sleep hygiene, and considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT) under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Taking proactive steps to care for the brain during perimenopause and beyond can help maintain brain health and overall well-being.
