Charles Christensen+FollowCould These Meds Delay Parkinson’s?Wild new study alert: some everyday meds like statins, NSAIDs, and blood pressure pills might actually push back the age when Parkinson’s symptoms start—by almost 10 years for some people! Researchers think it’s all about fighting inflammation and cellular stress in the brain. Smoking and family history, though, still mean earlier symptoms. Kinda wild how meds you might already be taking could have this bonus effect! #Parkinsons #HealthNews #BrainHealth #MedicalResearch #Aging #Health121Share
Sarah Bennett+FollowWait, When Does Menopause Really Start?Thought menopause hit in your 40s? Turns out, most women don’t actually reach menopause until their early 50s! All those wild symptoms in your 40s? That’s probably perimenopause, which can last up to 10 years before your period officially stops. The age it starts is a total wild card—everything from your mom’s age to your lifestyle and even how much fat you eat can play a role. Science still hasn’t nailed down the exact timing, and menopause research is way behind. Wild, right? #Menopause #Perimenopause #WomensHealth #HealthFacts #Aging #Health222Share

Melinda Gutierrez+FollowDoes Later Motherhood Boost Brainpower?Wild stat: Women who had their first baby at 20 or older scored better on memory and thinking tests in their 60s than those who became moms younger. The effect was strongest for first births after age 21. Researchers think more years of estrogen before pregnancy might help protect the brain long-term. Oh, and if you’re watching your waistline, that might matter too—body shape played a role in the results! Who knew timing your first kid could be linked to your future brain health? #WomensHealth #BrainHealth #Motherhood #Aging #CognitiveFunction #Health80Share

Frank Christensen+FollowEstrogen’s Secret Power Over Hormones?Turns out, estrogen doesn’t just boss around the brain (hypothalamus)—it also tells the pituitary gland to chill on hormone release, especially FSH. But here’s the twist: as women age, the pituitary gets less sensitive to estrogen’s feedback, mainly for FSH, not so much for LH. Basically, estrogen’s control over hormone balance is more direct than we thought, but age changes the game! #Hormones #Estrogen #WomensHealth #ScienceNews #Aging #Health30Share
itaylor+FollowEarly Menopause & Brain Health? Who Knew!Just found out that women who hit menopause before 40 might face faster brain aging and memory decline compared to those who go through it later. Even depression doesn’t fully explain it! Hormone therapy doesn’t seem to help either. Basically, early menopause could be a bigger deal for long-term brain health than we thought. More research is needed, but this is definitely something to keep an eye on if you or someone you know went through menopause early. #Menopause #BrainHealth #WomensHealth #Aging #HealthNews #Health50Share
Frank Christensen+FollowEarly Menopause & Brain Health Link?Did you know going through menopause before 40 could mean a higher risk of brain decline later on? A new study found women with early menopause had more memory and thinking issues than those who started after 50. Even after accounting for depression, the link stuck around. Hormone therapy didn’t seem to help either. Researchers say women with early menopause might be a high-risk group for cognitive decline—definitely something to keep an eye on! #Menopause #BrainHealth #WomensHealth #Aging #HealthNews #Health122Share
Michelle Chen+FollowCannabis & Dementia: Surprising Study LinkJust read a wild study—turns out people who end up in the ER or hospital because of cannabis are at a much higher risk of developing dementia later on. We’re talking a 23% higher risk compared to others in the hospital, and a whopping 72% more than the general population! It doesn’t mean weed directly causes dementia, but with more older adults using it, this is definitely something to keep an eye on.
