Menopause & Brain Health

Women are not small men and our brains are different too. In fact, women are twice as likely as men to develop dementia and brain changes start 20-30 years prior to a dementia diagnosis, a time that also coincides with the menopausal transition. The good news is that there are over 30 modifiable risk factors that we can leverage to optimize your unique female brain and mental wellbeing.

  • Menopause & Brain Health

    Hot flashes. Brain fog. Mood swings. Sleep problems. Fatigue. 

    You’re not imagining it — two-thirds of women experience these neurologic changes during menopause.  With women having twice the risk of dementia as men, these symptoms reflect real changes in the brain and deserve expert attention.

    There’s so much information out there but it’s dizzying to know where to start, who to trust and how to focus. As one of few neurologists to bring expertise and focus to menopausal brain health, Dr Gajaweera aims to help you feel clearer, calmer, and more like yourself again, while supporting brain health for years to come. Don’t just get through menopause, thrive through it.
