🧠✨ Hormones, the Aging Brain, and Longevity ✨🧠
What if brain fog, low energy, poor sleep, and mood changes weren’t just “part of aging”… but signals your brain is asking for support?
In this dynamic and engaging talk, Dr. Jessica Knape of HealthSpan Internal Medicine will explore how hormones shape brain health—and why they are one of the most overlooked keys to longevity. From estrogen and testosterone to thyroid and stress hormones, we’ll uncover how these powerful messengers influence memory, mood, metabolism, and cognitive resilience.
But this isn’t just about hormone therapy. You’ll learn how hormones fit into a bigger picture—what Dr. Knape calls BrainSpan—a systems-based approach to protecting and optimizing your brain through every decade of life.
We’ll break down:
• Why the brain is a hormonal organ
• How hormonal shifts impact cognition
• When hormone therapy may help—and when it may not
• The connection between metabolism, stress, and brain aging
Whether you’re curious about prevention, navigating midlife changes, or simply want to stay sharp and vibrant as you age, this talk will leave you informed, empowered, and inspired.
Because longevity isn’t just about living longer…
It’s about thinking clearly, feeling energized, and staying engaged in the life you love.
