The XX Brain: The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women to Maximize Cognitive Health and Prevent Alzheimer's Disease.

9 mins

O cérebro XX é um alerta e um guia baseado em ciência sobre por que o cérebro feminino envelhece de forma diferente e por que a medicina convencional ainda não está preparada para lidar com isso. A Dra. Lisa Mosconi combina neurociência, genética e medicina de precisão para mostrar que o risco de Alzheimer nas mulheres tem causas específicas e, mais importante, que ele pode ser prevenido com décadas de antecedência.

Listen to the intro

Who it is for

Este microbook é para mulheres que querem entender o que está acontecendo no próprio cérebro — especialmente a partir dos quarenta anos, quando as mudanças hormonais começam a ter impacto cognitivo real. É essencial para quem tem histórico familiar de Alzheimer e quer agir antes que os primeiros sintomas apareçam, e para qualquer pessoa que acredita que a saúde da mente merece a mesma atenção que a saúde do corpo.
