"Are You Listening?" The Sarah Adele Podcast

The Power of Neuroplasticity when Navigating Perimenopause and Beyond with Neuroscientist and Psychotherapist Dr Jen Hacker Pearson

September 16, 2024 Sarah Adele and Dr Jen Hacker Pearson Season 2 Episode 31

I had the pleasure of meeting Jen at an Author's retreat, instantly I was like 'Oh, my God, this woman is amazing!' Despite her doctorate degree, Jen describes herself as a laid back Byron girl, a rebel scientist, who empowers women to advocate for themselves to seek the medical support that is aligned with them. Listen as we chat about Jen's journey, and the fascinating plasticity of the brain during pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause. 

You'll also hear about:

  • why separating the mind and the brain is key to better understanding yourself
  • the role neuroplasticity plays in postpartum and perimenopause 
  • the common misconceptions about HRT and it's benefits
  • how to reframe menopause as an opportunity for growth and self discovery
  • why exercise and sleep play a crucial role in your mental wellbeing... and so much more!
