The Menopause Brain by Dr Lisa Mosconi is the Sunday Times bestselling guide revealing how menopause is a hormonal event centred on the brain, not just the ovaries. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, Dr Mosconi explains why brain fog, hot flashes, insomnia and mood swings occur, and how women can protect long-term cognitive health. Warm, evidence-based and empowering, this paperback reframes menopause as a transition to a stronger, more vibrant chapter of life.. About the Book. Menopause and perimenopause remain poorly understood by many doctors, leaving women to navigate confusing, often dismissed symptoms alone. In The Menopause Brain, neuroscientist Dr Lisa Mosconi draws on her own pioneering research to show that the decline of oestrogen during menopause reshapes brain function long before periods stop, directly influencing memory, mood, sleep and body temperature regulation. Rather than treating these changes as inevitable decline, Dr Mosconi presents the latest science on how the brain adapts and can be supported through this transition.. The book explores modern treatment options in detail, including hormone replacement therapy and newer "designer oestrogen" approaches, explaining how these can be tailored to individual needs. It also covers practical, everyday strategies: nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene and stress management, all grounded in research rather than fads. Throughout, Dr Mosconi challenges outdated medical assumptions about women's health, combining rigorous data with relatable patient stories.. Praised by high-profile readers and fellow physicians, this paperback has become a go-to resource for women approaching or experiencing menopause, as well as partners, carers and healthcare professionals wanting to understand this life stage..
