The Menopause Brain & Brain Food How to Eat Smart and Sharpen Your Mind By Dr Lisa Mosconi

This two-book set by Dr Lisa Mosconi brings together The Menopause Brain and Brain Food: How to Eat Smart and Sharpen Your Mind. Across both titles, Mosconi draws on her work as a neuroscientist and specialist in women’s brain health to examine how hormonal change and nutrition may influence the brain at different life stages.

The collection considers menopause and perimenopause alongside research into diet and cognitive function. It looks at how symptoms including hot flashes, insomnia and brain fog may relate to changes in the brain, and explores the brain–gut connection, with practical content such as recipes and guidance on what to eat and what to avoid.

Synopses

The Menopause Brain

This book explores menopause and perimenopause, and why these stages can remain poorly understood in clinical settings. It places the brain at the centre of hormonal change, describing how menopause affects more than the ovaries.

It considers how declining oestrogen may influence body temperature, mood and memory, and discusses a potential link to cognitive decline later in life. Current approaches are outlined, including hormone replacement therapies such as “designer estrogens”, hormonal contraception, and lifestyle changes involving diet, exercise and self-care.

Brain Food: How to Eat Smart and Sharpen Your Mind

Drawing on research into nutrition and brain health, this book examines how dietary change can be approached more effectively while challenging pseudoscience. It also looks at emerging science, including work on the connection between the brain and the gut.

Mosconi discusses foods and drinks in relation to dementia, stress, cognitive decline and memory loss. The book includes brain-boosting recipes, plus lists of what to eat and what to avoid.
