Why Estrogen Matters for Brain Health in Midlife | Kelly Ann Niotis

Описание: Today, I am thrilled to connect with Dr. Kellyann Niotis, a fellowship-trained preventive neurologist specializing in risk reduction strategies for neurodegenerative disorders. Dr. Niotis completed her medical internship and neurology residency at New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center. She is passionate about preventive neurology, especially as it relates to advocacy, policy changes, and improving access to care and education.

In our discussion, we explore the memory changes and brain fog that occur during perimenopause, and the fear of neurocognitive changes. We look at screening, testing, and labs, examine the effects of alcohol on brain health, and how estrogen is often framed as a reproductive hormone despite its role as a brain fuel regulator. We also clarify why caring for ourselves in midlife is essential for our long-term brain health, outlining the risk factors for neurocognitive changes, the role of neuroplasticity, and how lifestyle factors and loneliness collectively impact brain health and longevity.

This is an exciting and evolving area of neurology, and I am truly grateful to share Dr. Niotis’s expertise and insights with the Everyday Wellness community.
