    Hormones, Brain Health, and Alzheimer’s Risk: What Women Need to Know

    What if the timing of hormone therapy is increasing women’s risk of Alzheimer’s? In this special holiday episode, I answer listener questions and share critical updates every woman needs to know about hormones, brain health, and Alzheimer’s risk. New research has overturned decades of fear around hormone replacement therapy, showing that bioidentical hormones, when started at the right time, can be both safe and profoundly protective for the brain. I explain why perimenopause, not menopause, may be the most important window to act, and how hormone loss directly affects memory, sleep, mood, and long-term cognitive health. I also walk through the most effective brain supplements, including magnesium, Omega-3s, creatine, and emerging longevity compounds, and how to prioritize them without overspending. Finally, I share practical holiday strategies to protect your sleep, manage stress, and support your brain while spending time with family. If this episode helped you, share it with a woman you care about and subscribe for more science-backed brain health guidance. Podcast Sponsors: -Brain Power Clinics: www.BrainPowerClinics.com - https://brainpowerclinics.com/ “The new finding is that we actually want to start at perimenopause. So women as young as 40 or women who are beginning to go through perimenopause–that is the best time to start hormone replacement therapy, specifically hormone replacement therapy with bioidentical hormones.” ~ Robert Love In this Episode: - Introduction - Hormone therapy myths and the removal of the black box warning - Why perimenopause increases Alzheimer’s risk in women - Why hormone therapy should start earlier than menopause - Is it too late to start hormone therapy after menopause? - Foundational brain supplements everyone should consider - Omega-3s, B-vitamins, and Alzheimer’s risk reduction - Creatine and new research on memory reversal - NMN, aging, and brain energy explained - Aniracetam and advanced cognitive support - Holiday brain health tips: Sleep, self-care, and nutrition Mentioned in the Episode: - Dr. Sharon Stills’ Hormone Therapy Services: https://drstills.com/ Connect with Robert Love: 🌐Website - https://roarlionsmane.net/ 📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/robertwblove/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/discover/robert-love-lions-mane ▶️YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@RobertWBLove Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice.

    The Science of Decisions with Dr. Robert Sapolsky

    If you think you understand why people do what they do, you’re probably wrong. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Robert Sapolsky, a legendary neuroscientist, primatologist, and bestselling author. We explore one of the most controversial questions in science: Do we truly possess free will? Dr. Sapolsky breaks down decades of research on the brain, stress, and behavior to reveal how much of who we are is determined by biology and environment. We discuss why humans evolved to lie, what makes aggression unique to our species, and why the hippocampus, the brain’s memory center, is a key hub for stress and aging. Dr. Sapolsky also explains how neurogenesis (the birth of new brain cells) actually happens, and why lifestyle factors like exercise, sleep, and diet directly affect it. You’ll hear his take on why judgment and blame make little sense once you understand the brain, and how embracing this truth can make us more empathetic and less punitive as a society. This is a profound, mind-expanding conversation that redefines what it means to be human and how understanding our biology can make us better individuals.

    Influencing Your Genes with Dr. Melissa Ilardo

    Can ancient divers and evolutionary biology reveal the secret to aging strong and staying sharp for life? In this fascinating episode, I interview evolutionary biologist Dr. Melissa Ilardo to explore what we can learn from one of the world’s most extraordinary populations–Korea’s Haenyeo (female divers), many in their 70s and 80s, who dive daily in freezing ocean water without oxygen tanks. Dr. Ilardo explains how these women maintain exceptional cardiovascular and brain health into late age, thanks to lifelong breath-hold diving, cold exposure, and constant physical activity. The conversation explores how voluntary discomfort, such as cold exposure, helps build resilience and strengthen the nervous system. Dr. Ilardo also dives into the grandmother hypothesis, the idea that the presence of healthy, active grandmothers helps extend human lifespan by improving survival and success in subsequent generations. She highlights how social connection, purpose, and environmental stressors shape gene expression and promote healthy aging. Tune in and be inspired by practical longevity lessons rooted in human evolution to keep the brain and body young.
