Welcome to Thriving in Midlife: The Women's Guide to Wellness, Longevity & Hormones After 40, your trusted space for women over 40 who want better health, more energy, balanced hormones, and practical wellness strategies that actually work.
If you've followed me for any amount of time, you already know that brain health is my jam. And if you're a woman in perimenopause or menopause, protecting your brain shouldn't be something you think about later. It needs to be part of your health strategy today.
In this episode, we're going beyond puzzles and Sudoku to explore what you can actually do every day to support your brain, reduce your risk of cognitive decline, and build the physical capacity you want to carry with you into your 70s, 80s, 90s, and beyond.
From cardiovascular exercise and BDNF to walking speed, strength, power, and nervous system regulation, Kellie breaks down why the way you move today may have a profound impact on how you age tomorrow.
And here's the surprising part: your walking speed may be telling you more about your longevity and brain health than you realize.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
➡️ Why women in perimenopause and menopause need a proactive brain health strategy.
➡️ How estrogen decline during menopause can impact brain health.
➡️ What BDNF is and why it's essential for brain health.
➡️ Why walking speed is connected to longevity and cognitive health.
➡️ Why strength and power training are important for maintaining mobility as you age.
➡️ How intentional movement, stress management, and daily habits can help support long-term brain health.
