Physician-Led Brain-Health and Cognitive-Risk Optimization for Women
Women carry two-thirds of Alzheimers risk, but much of long-term brain health is shaped by factors you can measure and manage, and the perimenopause-to-menopause years are the time to act. We assess it as part of your hormone program.

Brain & Cognitive Health
Within the Her Vitality program, a physician looks at the modifiable factors affecting your brain health, and hormone and other therapies may be a good fit to help address them.
We focus on brain health across four areas.
Cardiometabolic risk that affects the brain
Modifiable lifestyle factors
Menopause-related changes and genetic context (APOE) where appropriate
A personalized prevention plan
Everything in the program
- Physician brain-health assessment and history
- Targeted bloodwork (cardiometabolic markers)
- Genetic context (APOE) where appropriate, as a risk modifier
- A personalized prevention plan and follow-up
The transition is measurable
Women carry a disproportionate share of Alzheimers risk, but a large share is linked to modifiable factors. The figures below reflect published research.
ALZHEIMERS PATIENTS WHO ARE WOMEN
Nearly two-thirds of people living with Alzheimers are women.
DEMENTIA THAT MAY BE PREVENTABLE
Addressing modifiable risk factors can meaningfully lower risk.
LIFETIME ALZHEIMERS RISK
About double a mans, for reasons still being studied.
MIDLIFE MATTERS
Midlife and the menopause transition are key windows to protect brain health.
