Brain Fog Is Not Inevitable: The Hormone–Brain Connection with Dr. Christin Glorioso

In this episode of the Hormone Heroines Podcast, Dr. Christin Glorioso, MD-PhD and CEO of NeuroAge, reframes perimenopause as a neurological transition rather than simply a reproductive milestone. She explains how declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone influence mood, memory, sleep, and motivation—and why symptoms like brain fog are signals, not inevitabilities.The conversation explores the nine pillars of healthy brain aging, including exercise, Mediterranean nutrition, sleep, stress management, metabolic health, reaction-time training, trauma healing, community engagement, and toxin reduction. Dr. Glorioso emphasizes that 40–60% of Alzheimer's risk is modifiable through lifestyle choices.She also introduces the concept of measuring biological "brain age" using MRI imaging, cognitive testing, and blood biomarkers—highlighting that brain aging is dynamic and reversible. The key message: don't wait. Early intervention is the most powerful tool for lifelong cognitive vitality.- - - - -About the Guest:Dr. Christin Glorioso is an MD-PhD physician-scientist and the CEO of NeuroAge.
