- Why are most Alzheimer’s patients women?
It may come as a surprise to you, but women outnumber men when it comes to Alzheimer's disease sufferers by a ratio of two to one. Why Alzheimer's affects women so adversely is unclear, but we do know there is a lot of science that's beginning to make sense of this statistic. Moreover, now that we are gaining ground on understanding why the female brain is more susceptible to this devastating disease, it allows us to begin to get our arms around the idea that specific lifestyle changes may be very important as they relate to reducing a woman's risk for Alzheimer's.
In her new book, The XX Brain: The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women to Maximize Cognitive Health and Prevent Alzheimer's Disease (amzn.to/3ac98dS), my good friend Dr. Lisa Mosconi takes us to the leading edge of neuroscience research, revealing how differences between the male and female brain may set the stage for Alzheimer's disease as well as depression. With a powerful foreword by Maria Shriver, the information in The XX Brain is fundamentally important for all women--as well as the other 50% of our population.

Dr. P. it is great to see your wife and son working with you.
Glad we can all work together on this
We have to look way beyond all these dry accounts of genes, diet and chemical components, although they are very interesting. The Western culture is becoming more and more aggressive and unfriendly to women. We are supposed to look like young girls and shut up when we age and have a lot to say and to offer. We are supposed to keep working - often in stressful jobs - while raising kids, preparing meals and maintaining a household ???? We are unmatchable in multi-tasking. We are almost all sleep-deprived. Then, our brain is supposed to handle all that?
I got through menopause quite well by 54 years, I did put on some belly weight, and I had anxiety, stress and depression.That improved over the last 5 years following your Grain Brain regime. Now I know eating more good fats, organic meats, eggs, fish but less carbohydrates and no sugars my energy is much higher now, my brain is sharper, and I sleep very well. Soya, fruits and lectins I have excluded as they definitely upset me.
The biggest reason women have a problem with sleep. Men snore.
There is a weird noise in the background, like when you pick up your landline before making a call
Dr P you and ur wife are such a beautiful couple. So happy to see ur dear wife. Such a lovely woman.
Dr P ur guest lives in Italy or no? The food in Europe is much higher quality than here in America. Do we in America do these brain scans that she talks about?
Dr. Mosconi lives in New York and yes, PET scans are common in the United States.
I'll tell you one thing about a stay at home mom that constantly cooked 3 fresh meals a day, and not processed foods,, sodas, and candy to shut every one up...
These mothers deserve a metal.
And the mom's that worked and made sure her kids had a lunch she packed and home cooked meal at night deserves 2 metals.
Cause, maybe it perhaps gave them some healthy years to be able to withstand this disgusting food chain, and drug abuse illicitness, but more so the legal over the counter and behind the pharmacy counters.
I thank all the physicians that are stepping up against the contracts.
stress! we work outside the home ,take care of the ,bear the children,bear the biggest load of childcare , either single moms,or if married ,disparate work division at home , care of family members ..it would be a surprise if the stats were not slanted against us!
Absolutely! Is it any wonder far more women file for divorce than men? And, according to most research, married men live longer than single men, but single women live longer than married women.
My admittedly subjective opinion is that women are on overload BEFORE menopause holding full time jobs while having children , helping their parents . Once their estrogen drops into the toilet they can't keep up all that ...and getting up at night with crying children doesnt help either
In 3rd Asian world countries in the rural-traditional-poor sections and in rural Mediterranean poor section of these countries, women of all ages do not get dementia or ALZHEIMER because they only use ORGANIC coconut oil made on the same day in the traditional way or a few days ago up to within a week and they only use ORGANIC olive oil made on the same day in the traditional way or a few days ago up to within a week. Nothing added and it is not adulterated and are REAL FOODS OR NATURAL FOODS. Sugar? It is only consumed as a once a week or as a week end treat IN A VERY SMALL AMOIUNT and that's that. But in the highly urbanized and modernized sections-areas of the same country(ies) the story is way opposite to that of the healthier and safer rural traditional poorer areas that cannot afford the luxuries of sugary foods or junk foods or fast foods or commercial foods or so-called health foods which are HIGHLY OVER-PROCESSED FOODS and are not natural organic unadulterated foods which are all the opposite of REAL FOODS OR NATURAL FOODS. However, even in some poor rural traditional areas and sections in the same countries there are entrepreneurs who are setting up stores selling HIGHLY OVER-PROCESSED "UNNATURAL FOODS" that the healthy dietary traditional ORGANIC REAL FOODS are in danger of being ignored because of DECEPTIVE ADVERTISEMENTS by these rotten Big Food Corporations who does not care about people's health and only care about their money!
It's absolutely criminal, isn't it?
no one should be eating soy
Soy is delicious 😊
@@markgoodwin183 natto or miso only for me
Doctor can you please share an email with me? I will like to get in touch with you.
I must say, that with, non educated simple mind I can link Thyroid Pituitary and hormones to Strokes cardiac arrest metabolic syndromes and diseases like dementias and breast cancer HR+, BUT, a complete incompetence of some physicians always putting these issues aside when we woman complain of menapause issues, weight gain without changes in lifestyle, depression are ignored.
But the big Injustice to you is ignoring lab work ignoring images and not taking interpretation seriously.
Has led to the woman the higher percentage in dementias in cardiac arrest in breast cancer and hormones that the absolutely just will not even taken to consideration.
Until now.
The underlying causes of the number one killers in most woman and men are in our underlying metabolic issues that have caused irresponsible damage to our major organs. All because of lack of concerns and keeping their practices up to date with research.
I must say COVID HAD ITS DETRIMENTAL DISADVANTAGE IN HEALTH AND ECONOMICS.
But, it also caused a flip in some great physians and researchers that let to the truths about our healthcare systems, and the labs that are being used negatively into all aspects.
I just went through how much the cancer patients can be lied to just to cover up their incompetence.
I highly recommend anyone blessed with cancer get educated in science biology literacy basics if you want to survive cancers, and not die of dementias.
So we know exactly what drug or changes of life is absolutely DETRIMENTAL to your quality of life.
Woman endure more emotional and physical abuse than men and our hormones go through more changes , physical changes with pregnancies…
