you know, Lisa's insights and advice will be really empowering.

Women's brains have unique risk factors for dementia that until now
have been ignored by science. Lisa Mosconi's path-breaking work
changes this paradigm to show women how they specifically can
protect and enhance brain function throughout life. Essential
reading!
*Max Lugavere, author of GENIUS FOODS*
Dr. Mosconi boldly takes the question of what differentiates men
from women away from just the reproductive organs and focuses on
the unique characteristics of the female brain. And it is about
time! When 2/3 of Alzheimer's patients are women, clearly a
manifestation of the female brain's uniqueness, we must take
notice. The XX Brain is fully empowering, leveraging the very best
science, allowing women to enhance cognitive health and gain
control of their brain's destiny.
*Dr David Perlmutter, author of GRAIN BRAIN*
