EP 1095B - The Upgrade: How the Female Brain Gets Stronger and Better in Midlife and Beyond

Dr. Louann Brizendine was among the first to explain why women think, communicate, and feel differently than men. Now, inspired by her own experiences and those of the thousands of women at her clinic, she has a message that is nothing short of revolutionary: in the time of life typically known as menopause, women’s brains are reshaped, for the better, in a way that creates new power, a bracing clarity, and a laser-like sense of purpose if you know how to seize it.

Her brand new book The Upgrade: How the Female Brain Gets Stronger and Better in Midlife and Beyond is a science-backed, radically positive roadmap, and provides specific ways women can fend off dementia, increase longevity and well-being, and find their best selves at this stage of life.

Louann Brizendine, MD completed her degree in Neurobiology at UC Berkeley, graduated from Yale School of Medicine, and did her internship and residency at Harvard Medical School. She has also served on both the faculties of Harvard University and the University of California at San Francisco. She founded the Women’s Mood and Hormone Clinic at UCSF. Her New York Times bestseller, The Female Brain, and its follow-up, The Male Brain, continue to be read around the world.
