Food for the Brain

05/12/2025

A heartfelt thank you to Kate Muir and The Liz Earle Wellbeing Show Liz Earle Wellbeing for highlighting Patrick Holford and the work of Food for the Brain in their new episode. The conversation explores midlife hormones, brain fog and the nutrition and lifestyle steps that help protect long term brain health. They also reference last year's episode on reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

This comes in the same week as our own webinar with Dr Dr Ghazala Aziz-Scott on women’s hormonal health and the brain, which you can watch here:

More people are beginning to understand how strongly hormones influence memory, mood and resilience, and it is encouraging to see this message reach a wider audience.

Thank you for helping to share evidence based, preventive approaches to better brain health.
