Menopause is a brain health story | Dr. Suravi Sharma | TEDxHyderabad

Über dieses Video

When a woman begins to forget words, struggle with focus, or experience sudden anxiety, menopause is rarely the first explanation that comes to mind. In this eye-opening TEDxHyderabad talk, Dr. Suravi Sharma challenges the traditional narrative of menopause as a purely reproductive transition. Through science, personal experience, and a powerful patient story, she reveals how menopause reshapes the brain, influences long-term cognitive health, and may hold important clues to understanding why women are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer's disease. Fire Up is not always about discovering something new. Sometimes it is about seeing something familiar in an entirely different light. This talk invites us to rethink one of the most misunderstood transitions in a woman's life.
