The XX Brain: The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women To Prevent Dementia Dr. Lisa Mosconi Book

The XX Brain: The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women to Prevent Dementia by Dr. Lisa Mosconi is an essential paperback for women, caregivers, and health-conscious readers who want clear, evidence-based guidance on protecting cognitive health. Written by a trusted neuroscientist and bestselling author, this book explains why women's brains age differently and offers practical strategies—backed by research—for preventing memory decline and dementia.

Dr. Mosconi draws on decades of neuroscience, clinical experience, and the latest studies to challenge the outdated notion of “bikini medicine” — the idea that male-focused research applies to women simply with different reproductive organs. Instead, The XX Brain maps how hormonal changes, especially the decline of estrogen, shape brain aging in women and increase risk factors such as anxiety, depression, migraines, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease.
