"In  The XX Brain , Lisa meticulously guides us in the ways we can both nourish and protect ourselves, body and mind, to ensure our brains remain resilient throughout our lives."   -from the foreword by Maria Shriver   The first book to address cognitive enhancement and Alzheimer's prevention specifically in women-and to frame brain health as an essential component of Women's Health.   In this revolutionary book, Dr. Lisa Mosconi, director of the Women's Brain Initiative at Weill Cornell Medical College, provides women with the first plan to address the unique risks of the female brain. Until now, medical research has focused on "bikini medicine," assuming that women are essentially men with breasts and tubes. Yet women are far more likely than men to suffer from anxiety, depression, migraines, brain injuries, and strokes. They are also twice as likely to end their lives suffering from Alzheimer's disease, even when their longer lifespans are taken into account. But in the past, the female brain has received astonishingly little attention and was rarely studied by medical researchers- resulting in a wealth of misinformation about women's health.  The XX Brain  confronts this crisis by revealing how the two powerful X chromosomes that distinguish women from men impact the brain first and foremost and by focusing on a key brain-protective hormone: estrogen. Taking on all aspects of women's health, including brain fog, memory lapses, depression, stress, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, and the increased risk of dementia, Dr. Mosconi introduces cutting-edge, evidence-based approaches to protecting the female brain, including a specific diet proven to work for women, strategies to reduce stress, and useful tips for restorative sleep. She also examines the controversy about soy and hormonal replacement therapy, takes on the perils of environmental toxins, and examines the role of our microbiome. Perhaps best of all, she makes clear that it is never too late to take care of yourself.  The XX Brain  is a rallying cry for women to have full access to information regarding what is going on in their brains and bodies as well as a roadmap for the path to optimal, lifelong brain health.]]></description><link>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C2309323</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C2309323</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mosconi, Lisa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2309323074</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women to Maximize Cognitive Health and Prevent Alzheimer&apos;s Disease</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593083123/MC.GIF&amp;client=westp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Menopause Brain]]></title><description><![CDATA["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 and brain fog.

Like our bodies, our brains have very specific food requirements. And in this eye-opening book from an author who is both a neuroscientist and a certified integrative nutritionist, we learn what should be on our menu.  Dr. Lisa Mosconi, whose research spans an extraordinary range of specialties including brain science, the microbiome, and nutritional genomics, notes that the dietary needs of the brain are substantially different from those of the other organs, yet few of us have any idea what they might be. Her innovative approach to cognitive health incorporates concepts that most doctors have yet to learn. Busting through advice based on pseudoscience, Dr. Mosconi provides recommendations for a complete food plan, while calling out noteworthy surprises, including why that paleo diet you are following may not be ideal, why avoiding gluten may be a terrible mistake, and how simply getting enough water can dramatically improve alertness.  Including comprehensive lists of what to eat and what to avoid, a detailed quiz that will tell you where you are on the brain health spectrum, and 24 mouth-watering brain-boosting recipes that grow out of Dr. Mosconi's own childhood in Italy, Brain Food gives us the ultimate plan for a healthy brain. Brain Food will appeal to anyone looking to improve memory, prevent cognitive decline, eliminate brain fog, lift depression, or just sharpen their edge"--]]></description><link>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C1893624</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C1893624</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mosconi, Lisa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1893624074</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Surprising Science of Eating for Cognitive Power</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780399573996/MC.GIF&amp;client=westp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Menopause : Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better Than Before]]></title><link>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C2340954</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C2340954</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fadal, Tamsen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2340954074</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780306833540/MC.GIF&amp;client=westp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Menopause]]></title><description><![CDATA[Menopause needs a rebrand. Like it or not, women are finding themselves in the middle of a global transition: by 2025, 1.1 billion women will be in menopause. There's been nothing like it since the women's movement caught fire in the late 60s and early 70s, and the call for change is coming from women themselves. In 2021, journalist Tamsen Fadal took off her makeup and revealed her menopause struggles on TikTok. Since then, her #GRWM authenticity has garnered over three million engaged followers across platforms who reach out to her daily, eager for encouragement and advice on how to make their lives better, while navigating the misinformation and lack of education in the medical system. This book, Tamsen says, is for them. With over 50 interviews with experts across the menopause space, this book prepares readers for menopause-mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and helps them navigate the path to empowerment in the process. HOW TO MENOPAUSE is for the whole woman who just so happens to be dealing with menopause. Until women understand what's happening to our bodies, we won't feel like ourselves. Fadal offers well-researched, clear advice on handling all of your symptoms-physical and emotional-alongside prescriptions for actionable, achievable goals that enables us to reinvent ourselves in midlife-to get stronger, sexier, bolder, and more centered. She teaches readers how to advocate for themselves, to take control of their bodies, face their fears, learn what to let go of and what to hold onto fiercely.]]></description><link>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C2356621</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C2356621</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fadal, Tamsen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2356621074</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Take Charge of your Health, Reclaim your Life, and Feel Even Better Than Before</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780306833564/MC.GIF&amp;client=westp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
