The Neuroscience of Menopause with Dr Emilė Radytė (London)

After our sell-out online event, you told us you wanted to gather in person, so we’re bringing the (peri)menopause conversation to London in partnership with Wellbeing of Women.

Join us this Mothers Day for a relaxed morning exploring the neuroscience of menopause. We'll explore how hormonal fluctuations shape brain networks involved in memory, focus, mood, motivation, and emotional regulation.

Menopause is a neurological transition, yet many women move through it without clear, evidence-based insight into what’s happening in their brains.

Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, we’ll discuss the underlying mechanisms that influence how and why the brain changes during this stage of life.

From that understanding, we’ll show you that menopause isn't something to “get through,” but instead is a moment for making informed choices that prioritize your long-term brain health.

Grounded in practical, accessible neuroscience, this session equips you to understand your changing brain and use that insight to shape how you live, work, and care for yourself during menopause.

Led by Dr Emilė Radytė, a neuroscientist specializing in hormonal brain health, we’ll explore:

• How hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause interact with key brain systems
• What neuroscience tells us about changes in cognition, emotional processing, and stress regulation
• How emerging research is reshaping how we think about midlife brain health
• Where gaps in care come from — and how medical misogyny has shaped what we’ve been taught
• Evidence-backed tools, lifestyle supports, and emerging brain-based approaches that may support cognitive and emotional wellbeing
• How understanding your brain can inform better decisions, self-advocacy, and long-term health
• Q&A where you can ask our expert your questions

Dr Emilė Radytė is a neuroscientist and science communicator whose work focuses on how hormonal changes shape brain function, mood, and behaviour. A Harvard and Oxford graduate, her research has focused on psychiatric applications and neurocognitive markers of response to the treatment of depression using TMS. She is also the co-founder of Samphire Neuroscience, a neurotechnology company on a mission to help those with PMS and period cramps. She is deeply passionate about women's health and creating solutions for those who have been overlooked for too long.
