When it comes to women’s brain health, understanding the biology changes everything. You are managing a career, a family, and a body that suddenly feels unfamiliar. The brain fog is real. The fatigue is real. The anxiety is real. And it all has a biological explanation. Ticking Biology exists to help you separate what is happening in your brain from the story you’re starting to tell yourself about it, led by neuroscientist Dr. Jura Lasas.
The menopause transition can affect women’s brain health: memory, focus, mood, energy, and confidence in ways that are easy to misinterpret. Explore the biology behind the experiences that matter most.
The articles resonating most with women navigating the menopause transition.
Workplace Strategies
Brain fog, fatigue, sleep disruption, and word-finding problems affect professional women more than most workplaces recognize. Here’s what the latest menopause-at-work research actually shows.
Anxiety & Mood
Perimenopause changes how your brain and nervous system process stress. Here’s the science behind cortisol, anxiety, emotional overload, and recovery.

I am Dr. Jura Lasas, a neuroscientist with a PhD in neurobiology and fifteen years in clinical trials research. My work is translating the science of the menopause transition into explanations women can actually use.
Because understanding what is happening changes the story you tell yourself about it.
Perimenopause is a biological transition that affects the brain as much as the body. Many of the changes women notice first, in focus, memory, mood, motivation, and decision-making, have identifiable mechanisms behind them.
During her PhD in the Department of Neurological Surgery at UW, Dr. Jura Lasas explored the complex dynamics of myelin in axons following spinal cord injury. As a postdoctoral researcher at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute, she conducted pivotal work on the protective role of the gene Neuregulin in ALS models. With deep expertise in brain science and clinical trials, I have great trust in her ability to gather, interpret, and clearly communicate high-quality scientific information, especially on topics as nuanced as menopause.

I’ve known Dr. Jura Lasas since our grad school days, and even back then, she had a knack for making complex neuroscience feel clear and relevant. Her shift into supporting women through perimenopause and menopause feels like a natural next chapter. Dr Lasas brings both the science and the empathy, translating research into practical, grounded advice.
