When Your Brain Needs More Than a Facelift
Three women in one family developed Alzheimer's disease while their brother's mind remained sharp into old age. This wasn't random-it was a warning signal about women's brain health that medicine had been ignoring for decades. Here's a startling fact: if you're a 45-year-old woman, you have a one-in-five chance of developing Alzheimer's in your lifetime. A man the same age? One in ten. Two-thirds of all Alzheimer's patients are women, yet this disparity has been treated as an afterthought rather than a crisis. We've been told it's simply because women live longer, but that explanation crumbles under scrutiny. The real culprit? A fundamental misunderstanding of how the female brain works, ages, and what it needs to thrive. What if protecting your mind required not a pharmaceutical miracle but understanding the unique biology that makes your brain different from the moment you're born?
