Brain chemicals covertly direct female hormones, but their effects on behaviors, emotions, cognitive abilities and relationships can make us vulnerable. The more we become aware and understand these vulnerabilities, the more we can transform them to actually empower us…. Marwa Azab has been interested in human behavior and why we do what we do since she was a child. Her interest compelled her to complete two advanced degrees in Psychology and a PhD in Neuroscience. She has been teaching in the Psychology, Biology and Human Development departments, presenting to various audiences ranging from first graders to seniors and is a frequent contributor to the Huffington Post.. Her approach to understanding any human behavior—or misbehavior—is unique because it is Gestalt. This interdisciplinary background allows her to intersect fields and come up with innovative ways to understand “why we do what we do”. She is a firm believer that it is at these intersection foci that creativity and novelty find fertile grounds. She practices this holistic approach in individual and group life-coaching..

Significant evidence shows the loss of estrogen at menopause is bad for the brain and body metabolism. As Meg Farris reports, new research at Tulane is zeroing in on why estrogen can have an anti-aging effect on the brain.
Estrogen plays several important roles in brain function. By maintaining many facets of neurotransmission, neuroprotection, synaptic plasticity and mitochondrial function, estrogen supports learning, memory and mood. When estrogen levels decline during menopause, forgetfulness and other cognitive deficiencies become more common. Felice L. Gersh, M.D., a board-certified OB/GYN and medical director of the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, California, is one of a small number of fellowship-trained, integrative gynecologists. Dr. Gersh is an award-winning physician and renowned national speaker on ovarian health, menopause, environmental toxins and other important issues affecting women of all ages. In this webinar, she will present the essentials of estrogen, discuss the impact of menopause on learning and memory, and provide nutritional recommendations for cognitive support.*.

Estrogen, as you know all too well these days, does a lot of good things for your body and your mood. Maybe you didn’t know that it also does a lot of good things for your brain. “In preclinical studies, estrogen was shown to improve energy production, reduce oxidative stress, increase brain cell survival during damage, enhance the release of protective chemicals, and improve memory,” according. Some of estrogen’s effects in the brain include: Increasing serotonin, and the number of serotonin receptors in the brain Changing how endorphins, the “feel-good” chemicals in the brain, are made.
Estrogen is active in the brain as well, and is involved in regulating learning, memory, and mood. Recent studies have shown that when the brain is at risk, such as during a stroke or traumatic. Your Brain on Estrogen. Estrogen, as you know all too well these days, does a lot of good things for your body and your mood.

Your Brain on Estrogen Estrogen stimulates the growth of neurons, and even repairs damaged neurons. Some of the well documented effects of estrogen on the human brain include: protection from amyloid protein (Alzheimer’s) and injury due. Estrogen acts on receptors found throughout the body, in fat, on ovaries and in muscle. But when it comes to the hormone’s influence on metabolism, Clegg suspected receptors in the brain. High estrogen levels over time can contribute to functional or subclinical hypothyroidism which decreases GABA release in the developing brain.
GABA is a neurotransmitter with a calming effect. This can prime our brain to fire repetitive worry and anxiety circuits over and over again. Estrogen acts on receptors found throughout the body, in fat, on ovaries and in muscle. But when it comes to the hormone’s influence on metabolism, Clegg suspected receptors in the brain. The brain relies solely on blood flow as a source of energy to function and blood vessels make up around one third of the brain.
Estrogen is known to increase cerebral perfusion by binding to. “I love this book! You will look at taking hormones in an entirely new way after reading This is Your Brain on Birth Control.A must read for men and women.” —Louann Brizendine M.D. author of The Female Brain and The Male Brain “This is an urgently needed book that every woman should read.
List of related literature:
However, a-fetoprotein is bypassed in the male brain because circulating testosterone is converted intraneuronally into estrogen by the enzyme aromatase, thus enabling estrogen to defemininize (or masculinize) the male brain, which is mediated through estrogen receptors.
Each hormone binds to estradiol, androgen, and aromatase receptors that are located in brain regions associated with learning and memory, notably, the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex [1].
clear, but brain areas with high aromatase activity (which thus can convert testosterone to estradiol) and androgen receptors in the nonhuman primate brain include the hypothalamus, amygdala, prefrontal visual, and somatosensory cortices.
In females, estrogen is excluded from the brain during early development and therefore the brain is configured in a femaletypical form in the absence of any sex hormone activity.
As testosterone affects the entire body (often by enlargening, such accepted facts such as, men have bigger hearts, lungs, liver etc) the brain is also affected by this “sexual” advancement, the enzyme aromatase converts testosterone into estrogen that is responsible for “masculinization” of the brain in a male fetus.
There is good evidence that, in organizing the brain in a male direction, testosterone is actually converted by the enzyme aromatase (in the brain itself) to estradiol, so it is actually a female sex hormone that masculinizes the male brain.

It is hard to find a good lecture that covers mood and hormones. This is perfect. So comprehensive and insightful. Thank you for making this and sharing it!!!
Wow. No wonder diseases like cancer is on the rise. Capitalism and excessive social media influence have us comparing ourselves to unrealistic beauty, body and other society imposed standards in various fields. As a result always the feeling of being not good enough. Stress and depression has become the biggest epidemic of modern world.
I am 19 years old and I have been diagnosed with poly cystic ovaries and my gynecologist has given me some hormonal pills which is likely to be taken for one year, Should I continue with those pills?
i have febroids and cysts in my uterus ;!!!! my life is up side down im having all kind of symptoms!!! from back pain to legs to heartburns to constipation to kydney its really effecting my life and yet doctors dont care much!!! and im more and more depressed!!! memorie yes i agree ; and irritability hight level makes everything worst!!
Wow… She’s really got the point. I was diagnosed with cyst and had to be operated before that I was fine and have a healthy life but when I let stress and unhealthy lifestyle into my life that’s when it’s getting bigger. Our mind is really can become a time bomb. I take the challenge, I need to get to know my self better. May God always protect us all. Amen.
Marwa, this was amazing!!!! I have recently been diagnosed with a hormone imbalance, after seeing 3 doctors, two of which said it was “just pms” and hormones couldn’t be read. My FSH and LH levels are all over the place, and I have a treatment plan. I’m also now working with my body and learning to understand it more. I’m incorporating more vegetables into my body, probiotics, and ensuring I get enough sleep! Thank you for this talk though, it highlighted just how sensitive your hormones can be to other parts of your body and it’s not just always a psychological problem.
Most appreciated talk! I went through a horrible menopause, I wasn’t prepared for the psychological along with physical changes I experienced because, no one talks about it enough to help prepare women for what we may experience and how to cope. I found it easier to stop socializing, my life became calmer without the drama of others, but isolationism can’t be the answer.
