[JJ's Power Pick]( [The Silver Lining With Menopause Brain]( Forgetfulness, brain fog, mood swings, and bad sleep are all experiences that fall under "menopause brain." A hormone drop is at the root, which some women mistake for Alzheimer's. Let me put you at ease: it's most likely temporary, not dementia. In other good news, healthy habits can help ease menopause brain. This excerpt from Kerryn Phelps' book How to Keep Your Brain Young provides helpful clues about managing this issue.   [Finding Resiliency and Strength During a Challenging Time]( Years ago, when my teenage son Grant was in the ICU, I had to show up powerfully in a way I never had before. Being sick or tired wasn't an option. I know how difficult being resilient during life's inevitable hurdles can feel. This article from the Harvard Business Review discusses overcoming being stuck in an old identity when facing a significant life change. The authors interviewed people who experienced positive and negative identity shifts—including changing professions or leaving behind an undesirable sense of self—to understand the challenges of change. In this article, they share five ways that they found to embrace that change with resilience and strength.   [Why Muscle Is the Key to Living Longer]( I can't get enough of Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, author of the new (and highly recommended) book [Forever Strong](. Join us for this fun, information-packed episode where Dr. Lyon describes why muscle is the organ of longevity. You'll hear why fasting too long could hurt your metabolism, the #1 starting point for living longer, and why you won't get bulky lifting weights. Dr. Lyons and I also discuss everything you need to know about protein. You'll learn whether plant-based protein makes the grade and which meals are critical to staying lean and strong. Have your pen and notepad ready: this one is a burner!   Love, JJ   P.S. Menopause Support is back—with an update! Along with annatto, geranylgeraniol (GG), and DIM, we’ve added CoQ10 as ubiquinone.
