Brain Health for Women With Make Time Wellness

Statistics

Emma Smith and Helen Jones highlight the alarming statistics surrounding women's brain health. They reveal that two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients in the U.S. are women, and by age 50, women have lost 50% of their short-term memory. Helen compares the awareness of breast cancer to Alzheimer's, noting that while one in eleven women will get breast cancer, one in six will get Alzheimer's, yet the latter receives far less attention 1.

   

Personal Stories

Helen shares her personal connection to brain health, having lost family members to dementia. Emma recounts her struggle with brain fog and the lack of attention it received from her doctors, which led her to explore brain health further. This journey inspired them to create Make Time Wellness to raise awareness about women's brain health 2.

   

Risks for Women

Women face unique brain health risks, with a higher prevalence of Alzheimer's compared to men. Helen and Emma stress the importance of early intervention and prevention, noting that brain health issues can start decades before diagnosis. They advocate for a brain-first approach to wellness, emphasizing the need for better awareness and proactive measures 1.
