Cover Story: Mental health disorders such as depression and Alzheimer’s disease affect women disproportionately, especially during midlife. The menopause marks a critical window, as hormonal changes impact brain function and are linked to mood, sleep, and dietary disturbances. These changes can lead to increased intake of high-glycemic, low-nutrient foods, promoting chronic low-grade inflammation. Combined with a Western diet, this factor may worsen gut–brain axis dysfunction and elevate the risk of mental and cognitive disorders. In this review, we explore how menopause-related physiological changes can increase vulnerability through diet-induced inflammation, highlighting the need for integrated prevention strategies.
