Dr Ginni Mansberg on Peri/Menopause, Burnout, and How to Save Your Brain

Send us Fan Mail There was a time soon after having my first daughter, in the depths of sleep deprivation and baby brain, and I was staying at my brother and sister-in-law’s house, and I really needed a cup of tea. So, I somehow put their electric kettle on a gas top stove … and lit it… almost setting their kitchen on fire. (Sorry Tomo and Anj!) I also recall not being able to recall simple words - like looking at a toaster and thinking, “Yeah…what is that called?” and constantly trying to pay for groceries with a Medicare card. Right. So, how do we know the difference between cognitive decline and old age… or just a lack of sleep? And what are the simple steps we can take now to save our precious brain. Well, Dr Ginni Mansberg is a GP, well-known TV host - you’ve probably seen her on Channel 7's Sunrise and The Morning Show, and a best-selling author. And her new book is called Save Your Brain. Ginni interviewed 22 brain experts around the world to find easy-to-implement strategies to keep our brain functioning at its best. Her book looks at the fact that almost half of all cases of cognitive decline could have been prevented or delayed and that dementia is the leading cause of death in women. Plus, the role anxiety, depression, peri and menopause play. In true Dr Ginni style, her advice is upbeat, practical and fun. From sleep, to burnout, and the importance of connection and working, Ginni gives us a smorgasbord - an all-you-can-eat buffet - of ways to help save our brain. And just a reminder, if you ever need it Lifeline's crisis support service is available any time of the day or night on 13 11 14 .
