This week on Two Women Chatting, Michelle sits down with Susan Saunders, a renowned brain health coach, to discuss the vital topic of brain health for women over 50. Susan shares her deeply personal journey of caring for her mother with dementia, which inspired her to dive into research on reducing her own risk and helping others do the same. With her expertise, she breaks down the steps we can take to prioritise brain health and offers hope for a healthier future.

Key Insights:

🎙️Prioritising Brain Health: "Susan underscores the importance of taking a proactive, holistic approach to brain health. By focusing on nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and cognitive engagement, we can reduce our risk of dementia and enhance our overall well-being."

🎙️Understanding Brain Fog vs. Dementia: "Normal age-related brain fog differs significantly from dementia symptoms. Susan explains the signs to watch out for and emphasises the importance of seeking medical advice if concerns arise."

🎙️Gut Health and the Brain: "The gut-brain connection is more powerful than many realize. Susan discusses how a healthy diet, rich in nutrients, can significantly impact cognitive function and brain health."

🎙️Menopause as a Time of Growth: "Susan highlights the potential for personal growth and reinvention during menopause. Rather than viewing it as a time of decline, it can be an opportunity for empowerment and positive change."
