Sinopsis
Why medicine failed women, and how we can reclaim our brains.
Why do women develop Alzheimer’s disease at double the rate of men? It’s not just due to the unlucky dip of genetics. In fact, women and men are equally likely to carry the Alzheimer’s genetic variant, so why is the female brain more at risk?
In this agenda-setting book, women’s health campaigner and documentary maker Kate Muir investigates why medical research has overlooked the link between female biology and long-term brain health.
From menopause to weight-loss drugs, Kate examines the key risk factors and shows us how to futureproof our brain. Medicine has failed women, but now, helped by preventive neuroscience, we can reclaim our brains and take back control.
