Hormones don’t just affect mood and metabolism — they have profound effects on how the brain ages.
Maintaining hormone balance is a vital part of any comprehensive anti-aging strategy for cognitive health.
Key hormones that influence the brain:
✅ Estrogen: Supports synaptic plasticity, enhances memory, protects against neuroinflammation
✅ Progesterone: Supports mood stability, calms the nervous system, promotes sleep
✅ Testosterone: Supports motivation, cognition, and mood in both men and women
✅ Thyroid hormones: Regulate brain metabolism, energy, and cognitive speed
✅ Cortisol: Chronic elevation impairs memory and promotes hippocampal atrophy
How hormone imbalances affect brain aging:
Natural ways to support hormone balance and brain health:
✅ Prioritize blood sugar balance — glucose swings disrupt hormone rhythms
✅ Support gut health — the microbiome modulates hormone metabolism
✅ Manage stress — cortisol balance is key to protecting the brain
✅ Optimize sleep — deep sleep promotes hormone balance and cognitive repair
✅ Personalize nutrition to support key hormone pathways
