This week, in the first of two episodes discussing brain health for women, Drs. Daniel Correa and Audrey Nath speak with neurologist Dr. Amy Hessler about neurologic challenges that women may face throughout their lives. Dr. Hessler defines the field of women’s neurology and discusses how female hormones like estrogen and progesterone can affect stroke risk as well as risk for seizures and migraine.  She also discusses lifestyle considerations that impact overall brain health for women of all ages and how to focus on improving modifiable risk factors.   Additional Resources:    https://www.brainandlife.org/disorders-a-z/disorders/stroke   https://www.brainandlife.org/disorders-a-z/disorders/migraine   https://www.brainandlife.org/articles/7-ways-reduce-migraine-attacks    Social Media:    Hosts: Dr. Daniel Correa @neurodrcorrea; Dr. Audrey Nath @AudreyNathMDPhD
