• Feb. 2 from 8-9 PM EST: Hormones’ Impact on Cognitive Health & Alzheimer’s

Dr. Lisa Mosconi PhD

There is no such thing as a gendered brain, but women’s brains do age differently from men’s, and those differences matter for our health. Nearly two thirds of the 5+ million Americans living with Alzheimer’s are women, the most common cause of dementia. Why?

Dr. Lisa Mosconi will share groundbreaking findings from her research, focused on the intersection of neuroscience and women’s health, to reveal how decreasing hormonal levels affect brain aging. She will also share a roadmap to support lifelong brain health.

Dr. Mosconi is the founder and Director of the Women’s Brain Initiative and Associate Director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine, where she also serves as Associate Professor of Neuroscience in Neurology and Radiology. She is the author of The New York Times bestselling books THE XX BRAIN and BRAIN FOOD.

• Feb. 9 from 8-9 PM EST: Vital Lessons in Weathering Duress

David Katz, MD, MPH 

The COVID pandemic has hurt people by direct infection with SARS-CoV-2, with all of the adverse consequences now well known. It has hurt people as well by the unintended consequences of haphazard interdiction policies resulting in mass unemployment, supply chain disruptions, the amplification of social disparities, and the degradation of social determinants of health. Dr. David Katz will explore the concept of “total harm minimization” and the implementation of risk-stratified (vertical) interdiction policies, including implications for mental health. Whether or not management of this pandemic can still be enhanced, there is at least the chance to do better next time, but only if we learn the lessons of our failures.

In his ongoing YouTube series, Covid Reality Check, he addresses the most important aspects and questions of the Covid19 pandemic and provides a “brief but comprehensive assessments of where we are with COVID19, of what’s currently making news…and what actually makes sense!”

Dr. Katz is the founding director (1998-2019) of Yale University’s Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center, Past-President of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Founder/President of the True Health Initiative, and Founder/CEO of Diet ID, Inc. He earned his BA degree from Dartmouth College (1984); his MD from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (1988); and his MPH from the Yale University School of Public Health (1993).

• Feb. 16 from 8-9 PM EST: A Window into the Architecture of Our Mind, Nancy Kanwisher, PhD from McGovern Institute for Brain Research. 

Nancy Kanwisher, PhD

Brain imaging pioneer Nancy Kanwisher, PhD, uses fMRI scans to see activity in brain regions (often her own). She will share what she and her colleagues have learned: The brain is made up of both highly specialized components and general-purpose “machinery,” and each component is in approximately the same location in virtually every normal person. Knowing our minds are made up of selective, specific and specialized components gives us a window into the fundamental mechanisms that underlie our experiences and can ultimately lead to a better understanding of who we are and what it means to be human.

Dr. Kanwisher is the Walter A. Rosenblith Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT, and a founding member of the McGovern Institute. She joined the MIT faculty in 1997, and prior to that served on the faculty at UCLA and Harvard University. In 1999, she received the National Academy of Sciences Troland Research Award.

• Feb. 23 from 8-9 PM EST: Improve Your Brain Health with Brain Foods

Drew Ramsey, MD

If you’ve read about how omega-3 fats can benefit brain health or how the gut microbiome impacts depression, you were actually reading about nutritional psychiatry. This emerging area of attention seeks to understand how our food impacts our brain health: when we make better food choices, we are eating to build a better brain. Dr. Drew Ramsey will discuss how your brain’s energy is derived from the food you eat.

Dr. Ramsey is a pioneer in the field of Nutritional Psychiatry, as well as an author and a farmer. He is a clear voice in the mental health conversation and one of psychiatry’s leading proponents of using nutritional interventions. He founded the Brain Food Clinic in New York City, which incorporates evidence-based nutrition and integrative psychiatry treatments with psychotherapy, coaching, and responsible medication management. Using the latest in brain science, nutrition and mental health research, as well as an array of delicious food, the clinic helps people live joyful, fulfilled lives. Dr. Ramsey is an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

I hope to see you there!
