Estradiol deficiency has been linked to increased risk for Dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Estradiol deficiency can cause brain fog in the short term, and dementia in the long term. The most common and severe form of dementia is Alzheimer's disease.
The different diseases that develop due to estrogen deficiency slowly develop over time.
This means your brain starts shrinking little by little when you're estrogen it's too low in your system.
The earlier you start to lose estradiol, the earlier your brain starts shrinking.
This is why there are twice as many women with Alzheimer's disease versus men.
