Shifting Perspectives: Hormone Replacement Therapy, Menopause, and the Dementia Dialogue

In this episode, we explore the connection between hormone replacement therapy and dementia risk, the impact of hormones on brain development and resilience throughout life, and the critical considerations for individuals undergoing pre- and post-menopause in terms of brain health. Specifically, we delve into a recent scientific article suggesting that menopausal hormone replacement therapy heightens the risk of dementia in a Danish population. We illuminate the intricate relationship between hormones, lifestyle risk factors, and brain health. Reference: Pourhadi, N., Mørch, L. S., Holm, E. A., Torp-Pedersen, C., & Meaidi, A. (2023).
