This hormonal change can trigger immune activity in the brain that leads to the loss of vital connections between neurons. It’s one of the reasons I believe hormone support deserves far more attention in protecting brain health. The research is clear: understanding these changes gives us powerful tools to act early and support women’s cognitive vit

Insulin sensitivity is a cornerstone of metabolic and brain health and the fastest way to improve it is through carbohydrate restriction.

Creatine is one of the most valuable supplements for both brain and body health. I typically take 5 grams twice a day of creatine monohydrate—powder form preferred for fewer additives. Recent research also shows that creatine may improve cognition in early-stage Alzheimer’s without serious side effects, making it a powerful tool to support mitochondrial function and metabolism. Consider adding creatine to your routine, especially if brain health is a priority. | David Perlmutter, M.D.
