I don’t know about you but I have a lot of questions about my brain at midlife. Questions like…
- Why does behavior change feel so hard?
- Why do so many midlife women rumble with anxiety and depression?
- How can I better manage my mental stress?
- What can I do now to help make my brain more resilient as I age?
So I reached out to Dr. Sarah McKay to help answer some of these questions, and she graciously agreed to join me for an interview.
