About this product
Product Information
The instant New York Times bestseller! "In The XX Brain , Lisa meticulously guides us in the ways we can both nourish and protect ourselves, body and mind, to ensure our brains remain resilient throughout our lives." --from the foreword by Maria Shriver The first book to address cognitive enhancement and Alzheimer's prevention specifically in women--and to frame brain health as an essential component of Women's Health. In this revolutionary book, Dr. Lisa Mosconi, director of the Women's Brain Initiative at Weill Cornell Medical College, provides women with the first plan to address the unique risks of the female brain. Until now, medical research has focused on "bikini medicine," assuming that women are essentially men with breasts and tubes. Yet women are far more likely than men to suffer from anxiety, depression, migraines, brain injuries, and strokes. They are also twice as likely to end their lives suffering from Alzheimer's disease, even when their longer lifespans are taken into account. But in the past, the female brain has received astonishingly little attention and was rarely studied by medical researchers-- resulting in a wealth of misinformation about women's health. The XX Brain confronts this crisis by revealing how the two powerful X chromosomes that distinguish women from men impact the brain first and foremost and by focusing on a key brain-protective hormone: estrogen. Taking on all aspects of women's health, including brain fog, memory lapses, depression, stress, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, and the increased risk of dementia, Dr. Mosconi introduces cutting-edge, evidence-based approaches to protecting the female brain, including a specific diet proven to work for women, strategies to reduce stress, and useful tips for restorative sleep. She also examines the controversy about soy and hormonal replacement therapy, takes on the perils of environmental toxins, and examines the role of our microbiome. Perhaps best of all, she makes clear that it is never too late to take care of yourself. The XX Brain is a rallying cry for women to have full access to information regarding what is going on in their brains and bodies as well as a roadmap for the path to optimal, lifelong brain health.

Reviews
"Dr. Mosconi boldly takes the question of what differentiates men from women away from just the reproductive organs and focuses on the unique characteristics of the female brain. And it is about time! When 2/3 of Alzheimer''s patients are women, clearly a manifestation of the female brain''s uniqueness, we must take notice. The XX Brain is fully empowering, leveraging the very best science allowing women to enhance cognitive health and gain control of their brain''s destiny." --David Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain "This extraordinary book gives women cutting-edge, research-based advice on what they particularly need to know to keep their brains functioning at maximum capacity. Highly recommended!" --JJ Virgin, New York Times bestselling author of The Virgin Diet "Women over 35 need to know that perimenopause is a dramatic transition state not just in terms of mood, sex drive, and hot flashes--but in terms of brain health and function. Lisa Mosconi is the leading authority on the female brain as it navigates hormonal upheaval, and she is here to close our knowledge gap. I give her extraordinary new book my highest recommendation!" --Sara Gottfried, MD, New York Times bestselling author of The Hormone Cure "Women''s brains have unique risk factors for dementia that until now have been ignored by science. Lisa Mosconi''s path-breaking work changes this paradigm to show women how they specifically can protect and enhance brain function throughout life. Essential reading!" --Max Lugavere, New York Times bestselling author of Genius Foods "This is a groundbreaking, must-read book, right on target with what I have found about women''s brains. As we age it is critical for us to act aggressively in promoting not just our health but our brain health through lifestyle. I highly recommend it!" --Anna Cabeca, DO, author of The Hormone Fix " The XX Brain is a must read for every woman who wants to protect her brain. Dr Mosconi presents invaluable information and practical solutions to be--and stay--your best." --Louann Brizendine MD, author of The Female Brain " The XX Brain is an exciting and empowering read for all women. Dr. Mosconi provides actionable advice to protect your brain and thrive throughout your lifetime! I highly recommend making your brain a priority now and taking charge before the inevitable hormonal shifts of perimenopause. In this book, Dr. Mosconi will show you how." --Dr. Jolene Brighten, ND, author of Beyond the Pill " The XX Brain is a wealth of vital information about brain health. For too long brain health has not been considered women''s health, and Dr. Mosconi is having none of that! In an accessible and relatable way she provides women with the necessary background information and tools to be empowered about brain health. Whether you have a family history of Alzheimer''s disease, are struggling with brain fog in menopause, or just want to know more, this book is for you. I learned a lot, and I''m eager to share this information with my colleagues and my patients. Taking care of your brain starts with this book." --Dr. Jen Gunter, MD, New York Times bestselling author of The Vagina Bible "In her new book, The XX Brain , she [Dr. Mosconi] explains the differences between the female and male brains and explores the different ways the brain affects women''s health. She offers practical tips on how to optimize brain health and discusses the unique risks women have for developing Alzheimer''s disease and actions they can take to help prevent it." -- The Wall Street Journal "In The XX Brain , Mosconi makes a compelling argument: Brain health is women''s health." --goop " The XX Brain : I''m buying this for every woman I love in my life." --Mandy Moore
