What Most Women Get Wrong About Alzheimer's, And They Are Paying For It Later

Video Description

The moment a woman’s hormones begin to decline, the entire body starts aging faster. The brain, heart, bones, immune system, and metabolism are all affected by a single biological shift most doctors barely explain. I sat down with Dr. Amy Killen, physician and leading expert in regenerative and longevity medicine, to explore the science of female aging and why ovarian health may be the true driver of how long women live. We break down the real biology behind menopause, why estrogen is far more than a reproductive hormone, and how hormone loss can accelerate cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, bone loss, and systemic inflammation. Dr. Killen also explains the emerging science behind hormone replacement therapy, the misunderstood relationship between estrogen and breast cancer risk, and why many doctors still are not properly trained to treat menopause. We discuss stem cells, mitochondrial health, and the growing interest in therapies like hyperbaric oxygen, peptides, red light therapy, and plasma exchange, and what the evidence actually says. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: * https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/youtube-sales-page Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for evidence-based conversations at the intersection of brain science, longevity, and performance. _____ *TOPICS DISCUSSED* 00:00 Why Ovarian Aging Impacts Lifespan 01:24 Why Dr. Amy Killen Focuses on Women’s Longevity 03:19 What Longevity Actually Means in Medicine 04:20 Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Explained 05:51 How Stem Cells Help Repair and Communicate With Tissue 11:32 Hormones, Perimenopause, and Rapid Aging 18:45 Why the Ovaries Are the “Peacekeepers” of Aging 24:10 Hormone Replacement Therapy Explained 31:20 Vaginal Estrogen vs Systemic Estrogen 38:50 Testosterone Therapy in Women 43:15 Longevity Therapies and Mitochondrial Health 48:30 Red Light Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen, and Recovery 50:54 Peptides and the Lack of Long-Term Safety Data 53:25 Therapeutic Plasma Exchange and Longevity Research 55:38 The Estrogen, Immune System Connection _______ *Thank you to our sponsors* Ketone-IQ: https://ketone.com/NEURO Cellure: https://cellure.co/ Use code NEURO for 20% Off Ka’Chava: https://kachava.com Use code NEURO for 15% off your first order Just Thrive: https://justthrivehealth.com/NEURO _______ I’m Louisa Nicola - clinical neurophysiologist - Alzheimer’s prevention specialist - founder of Neuro Athletics.
