While hot flushes and night sweats are hallmark symptoms of menopause, the neurological effects of this hormonal transition are often overlooked. In this episode, Angela Hywood explores the profound impact of menopause on the brain.

Join us as we go beyond the classic symptoms to examine how the brain adapts to new hormonal realities, the clinical implications of this shift, and how practitioners can better support cognitive and emotional wellbeing in midlife women.
