In this short video, the speaker shares a personal story about her mother’s progressive memory loss. She attributes the decline to a series of head injuries—a treadmill accident, a severe fall, and another major fall two years prior—combined with hormonal changes after a hysterectomy that induced menopause without subsequent hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The speaker stresses that, especially for women, monitoring and optimizing hormone levels is crucial for protecting cognitive function.

Chapters

My mother's memory loss is from head trauma. So literally, she was at a gym once and a treadmill was left running and she was talking to somebody and she wasn't paying attention and she flew off a treadmill. That was one head trauma incident. Then she fell very badly tripping over something. And then 2 years ago she had a very bad fall and the accumulation of different head trauma events together with, and especially for women listening to this, together with a lack of HRT or hormone replacement therapy after a hysterectomy. So when it induced menopause in her were leading contributing factors to her levels. So that's why knowing how to optimize your hormone levels is super important.
