46. Menopause, Aging and the Woman's Brain: What You Need to Know About Your Alzheimer's Risk With Dr. Liisa Galea and Dr. Jenny Rabin
Did you know that two-thirds of people with Alzheimer's are women? Did you know that women over 60 are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than breast cancer? Here's the thing: Most of the diseases causing dementia starting developing in the brain 20 years before clinical symptoms show, which for many women, is around the time of menopause, begging the question, what role does menopause play in our brain health? The good news is that almost half of Alzheimer's cases can be prevented with lifestyle changes. During this Alzheimer's Awareness Month, two of the foremost Canadian brain researchers, Dr. Liisa Galea (@liisagalea) and Dr. Jenny Rabin (@drjennyrabin), join me to discuss this disease that impacts over 600,000 Canadians today and will impact three times that in the next several decades - most of them, in women.

44. Your Best Weight with Obesity Physician, Dr. Sasha High
Are you struggling to maintain a healthy weight as you get older? You're not alone. Despite the abundance of information on healthy living, obesity rates in Canada have doubled since the 1970s, leading to an increase in obesity-related chronic diseases. And if you add menopause to the mix, the challenge becomes even more complex. According to the National Institute of Health, women gain an average of a pound per year during the menopause transition, with 20% gaining 10 pounds or more during this period. To make matters worse, almost 40% of women in menopause are either overweight or obese, potentially leading to negative health outcomes. But how do we do this without falling prey to dangerous diet culture? It's time to take control of our weight and learn how to age powerfully. Join me as I speak with top Canadian obesity physician, Dr. Sasha High (@sashahighmd), as she explains what science says about being overweight, having obesity and how to achieve our best, healthiest weight for life.
