Summary
In her powerful book The Upgrade, clinical professor of psychiatry Dr Louann Brizendine was among the first to explain why women think, communicate and feel differently to men. This new and updated edition, titled Your Brain on Menopause, brings her revolutionary message to a new wave of readers.
In the time of life typically known as menopause, women’s brains are reshaped, for the better, in a way that creates new power, a bracing clarity and a laser-like sense of purpose if you know how to seize it.
With guidance for navigating the perimenopausal and menopausal storm, and actionable, science-backed steps for preserving brain health for the rest of your life, Your Brain on Menopause is updated with the latest science to create a stunning roadmap to a new brain state and its incredible possibilities. Dr Louann explains the best science-backed strategies for:
- Hormones: If timed and handled properly, hormone management can save your life. Dr Louann cuts through the controversy to give you the latest guidance for HRT.
- Exercise: Leg strength correlates directly with brain function at age 80 – Dr Louann shares actionable strategies for maintaining strength.
- Sleep: Critical for maximizing the Upgrade, Dr Louann shares how to achieve healthy rest during challenging transitions.
- Mindset: Dr Louann shows how to seize the opportunities of your midlife brain changes by shifting your mindset and vision with intention.
- Brain Health: The Upgraded brain requires special care when it comes to sugar, alcohol, inflammatory foods and the microbiome to maintain cognitive function for decades.
Through powerful science and personal stories, this book will help you to celebrate your power and step purposefully into a more authentic and courageous version of yourself, through menopause and beyond.

Critic Reviews
"This is an important book. I want all women to read it. I wish I had read it years ago!" - Jane Fonda
"Dr Louann Brizendine's Your Brain on Menopause is uplifting, upbeat about the physical, mental and social health of women in the upper chamber of the life cycle. If you're 60 years old and up, you will love this book. As she did in The Female Brain (a bible for all women), Dr Brizendine writes clearly and jauntily, this time explaining why, generally, we get happier as we age. Your Brain on Menopause is an engrossing read, rich with science and psychology and hopefulness." - Leslie Stahl, CBS Correspondent, '60 Minutes'

"Dr Brizendine is a trailblazer and in her groundbreaking, science-backed new book, she not only shows how much we can do naturally to optimize the menopausal brain but also explains why the mature brain is so much better than what came before.
