Women are nearly twice as likely as men to develop Alzheimer\u2019s disease, yet most are never taught how menopause, estrogen decline, chronic stress, caregiving, and emotional suppression impact the female brain. In this episode, we unpack the difference between dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s, why brain changes can begin decades before diagnosis, and why midlife is a critical window for awareness and prevention, not fear. We also explore how nervous system dysregulation shows up as irritability, withdrawal, resentment, or burnout, why so many women feel disconnected from themselves in their 40s and 50s, and how telling the truth, emotionally and relationally, becomes essential for both brain and body health.
