Stop Dementia Now: Start These Healthy Brain Habits Today

Why are women more vulnerable to dementia and why aren’t we talking about it?

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Mindy Pelz sits down with Emma Heming-Willis and Helen Christoni to explore women’s brain health, dementia risk, and the emotional and neurological shifts that occur in midlife.

We unpack why women are nearly twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s, how menopause changes brain metabolism, and why stress, caregiving, and emotional suppression play such a large role in cognitive health.
