Preventing (and Slowing) Dementia
Clear Mind, A Strong Spirit: What Women 50+ Need to Know About Preventing (and Slowing) Dementia
My Powerful Focused Friends, let’s talk about something real.
We’re the generation who took care of everyone else — kids, partners, parents, careers, passions, art, survival. We’ve held households together, reinvented ourselves again and again, and somehow we’re expected to do it all with a smile and a good outfit.
But there’s one thing that keeps many women our age awake at night:
“Will my mind still be mine when I’m older?”
Whether it’s forgetting a word, mixing up a date, walking into a room and thinking Why did I come in here?, or watching a parent struggle with dementia…the fear gets real.
Let’s go there — without shame, without fear, and without pretending it’s “just aging.”
Because here’s the truth:
🟩 Your brain is not declining —
🟨 it’s REWIRING.
And you’re allowed to support that process so you stay sharp, creative, empowered, and YOU.
🌟 3 Things Women 50+ Absolutely Must Know About Brain Health
1) Memory changes are normal — but confusion is not.
- Misplacing your phone ≠ dementia.
- Forgetting the entire purpose of the day, or getting lost in a familiar place ≠ normal aging.
*** The key is understanding patterns — and catching subtle signs early.
2) Your hormones are part of the story.
- As estrogen drops, so does a layer of “neurological protection.”
- That’s why many women notice fog, mood changes, or forgetfulness in peri- and post-menopause.
- This is NOT your fault, not “aging badly,” not “losing it.”
- It’s biology doing its thing — and it can be supported.
3) Lifestyle matters more than genetics.
- Only 2–3% of dementia is strictly genetic.
Everything else?
Influenced by sleep, stress levels, diet, mental stimulation, creativity, and emotional health.
*** You have FAR more power than you think.
