Memory lapses in your 40s or 50s? It could be menopause, not just aging. Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause often lead to memory problems, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms are common, temporary, and manageable. Understanding the difference between menopause-related memory changes and dementia is key. (fb)

It was an honor to have these three inspiring women leaders across southern Nevada join us and Maria Shriver today at the inaugural WAM Forum. May is National Women’s Health Awareness Month, and the Forum brought top leaders working on the frontlines of women’s brain health research and advocacy together for a conversation on two health issues impacting women across our local communities: Alzheimer’s and unpaid family caregiving. Together, we celebrated the power of research, progress made in Alzheimer’s prevention, and the fifth anniversary of our WAM Prevention and Research Center. Special thanks to the cites of Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas for their continued support of our mission. #Alzheimers #womenshealth (fb)
