Dr. Louann Brizendine: The Female Brain in Midlife and Beyond
Women widely perceive aging as a change worthy of fear and resistance. But what if approaching the second half of life is actually more of a celebration?
Researcher, clinician and UCSF professor Dr. Louann Brizendine dives deep into the workings of the brain and finds that women can discover their best selves in their later stages of life with the right prescriptive advice. Since she published her studies centered on women’s brain function in 2006, she has received an overwhelming response from the scientific community.
Her latest research contains a profound understanding of the nature of the female brain and unlocks new potential for women to understand and optimize the powerful changes their brain undergoes in midlife.
