Dr. Lisa Mosconi Collection 3 Books Set (Brain Food, The XX Brain & The Menopause Brain)

This three-book set brings together key works by Dr Lisa Mosconi: Brain Food, The XX Brain and The Menopause Brain. Across the collection, Mosconi draws on emerging research to examine how nutrition and hormones influence the brain, and how these factors connect to brain health over time.

The books explore subjects such as the brain–gut connection, differences in how women’s brains age compared with men’s, and the role of oestrogen. The collection also considers commonly discussed concerns including brain fog, memory lapses, stress and insomnia, and looks at how menopause and perimenopause can affect the brain as well as the ovaries.

Synopses

Brain Food

In Brain Food, Mosconi uses emerging science to explore links between diet and brain health, while challenging pseudoscience. The book also highlights research into the relationship between the brain and the gut, and discusses foods and drinks associated with preventing dementia, stress, cognitive decline and memory loss.

The XX Brain

The XX Brain presents research suggesting that women’s brains age differently from men’s, largely due to declining oestrogen, described as a brain-protective hormone. It discusses brain fog, memory lapses, depression, stress, insomnia, hormonal imbalances and increased risk of dementia, and introduces evidence-based methods for protecting the female brain, including diet, stress reduction and sleep.

The Menopause Brain

The Menopause Brain looks at menopause and perimenopause, including the frustration many patients experience when symptoms are not well understood. Mosconi describes menopause as a hormonal process in which the brain takes centre stage, and references symptoms including hot flushes, insomnia and brain fog.
