Amy Alkon Reclaiming Your Vitality in Menopause
For many accomplished women, the sudden arrival of brain fog, fatigue, or memory loss can feel like a professional crisis, sparking fears of losing one's edge. But what if these challenges aren't a sign of burnout, but a solvable physiological issue? In this vital episode, Nigel Rawlins sits down with award-winning investigative science writer Amy Alkon, author of Going Menopostal. Amy pulls back the curtain on the shocking gap between medical science and practice in menopausal care. This is an essential guide to self-advocacy and a masterclass in managing menopause for cognitive vitality, empowering you to protect your most valuable asset—your mind—for a thriving career reinvention.
