Welcome back to The Simplicity Sessions, I’m delighted that you’ve joined us today. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist, Registered Holistic Nutritionist  and Medical Exercise Specialist. I specialize in women’s health and hormones and am the creator of the revolutionary women’s health courses; The Hormone Project and Synced.

In this episode, I am joined by the exceptional leader, educator and author, Dr. Louann Brizendine. Louann Brizendine, M.D. completed her degree in Neurobiology at UC Berkeley, graduated from Yale School of Medicine, and did her internship and residency at Harvard Medical School. She has also served on both the faculties of Harvard University and the University of California at San Francisco. She founded the Women’s Mood and Hormone Clinic at UCSF. 

Her NY Times bestseller: The Female Brain and its follow-up, The Male Brain continues to be read around the world. Her new book THE UPGRADE: How the Female Brain Gets Stronger and Better in Midlife and Beyond was released in April 2022. Now as the Lynne and Marc Benioff endowed professor of clinical psychiatry at UCSF, Dr. Brizendine, continues to speak, write, research, and consult.

Today we deep dive into all things perimenopause, the female brain and Louann’s new book THE UPGRADE.
