Brain Health News

This episode is hosted by Richard Lui, an author, filmmaker and anchor for NBC and MSNBC. He delves into the important topic of equity and its impact on different genders in relation to brain health. 

Our guests, Dr. Antonella Santuccione Chadha and Shannon Cohn, share their expertise and personal stories to shed light on the disparities in healthcare, particularly in the context of Alzheimer's disease and another disease that affects over 200,000,000 girls and women: endometriosis.

Join us as we explore the crucial work being done to advocate for greater equity and understanding in brain health.
