Hormones and the Brain: How hormones influence mood, cognition, motivation, fertility, brain development, and aging.
A live, science-based conversation with Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, PhD, presented as part of The Resilient Brain series.
- How hormones communicate with the brain — and why hormonal signaling can influence how we feel, think, and respond
- The connection between hormones, cognition, and motivation — bringing together systems that are often discussed separately
- A lifespan perspective from fertility and brain development to hormonal changes associated with aging
Reserve Your Seat for Hormones and the Brain
Join us live on Wednesday, September 16, for a focused exploration of how hormonal signals interact with the brain across mood, cognition, motivation, fertility, development, and aging.
The webinar begins at 5:00 PM Pacific / 8:00 PM Eastern and will be presented live through Zoom.
Part of The Resilient Brain Series
This webinar is one session in Dr. Dayan Goodenowe’s six-part exploration of brain health across the lifespan. Register once and you will also be enrolled in the remaining live sessions in the series.
Hormones are often discussed in isolated categories—reproductive health, mood, energy, or aging. This webinar brings those subjects together by exploring the connection they share: the ongoing relationship between hormonal signaling and the brain.
A Focused Conversation on the Hormone–Brain Connection
Hormones influence far more than reproductive health. Their signals intersect with the systems involved in mood, cognition, motivation, brain development, and the way the brain changes throughout life.
In this live session, Dr. Dayan Goodenowe will bring those connections together through an accessible, science-based conversation designed for anyone interested in understanding brain health more clearly.

What We'll Cover
One hour centered on the ways hormonal signaling and brain health intersect across the human lifespan.
Rather than treating hormones as a single-system story, this session connects their influence across thought, emotion, reproduction, development, and aging.
- Hormones and Brain Signaling — A clear foundation for understanding how hormonal signals interact with the brain.
- Mood and Emotional Regulation — How changes in hormonal signaling can be connected with emotional experience and regulation.
- Cognition and Motivation — The relationship between hormones, how we think, and what drives behavior.
- Fertility and Reproductive Health — Why reproductive biology and brain function cannot be fully understood in isolation from one another.
- Development and Aging — How the hormone–brain relationship changes from early development through later life.
Why Hormones Aren’t Just a Reproductive Story
For many people, hormones are discussed primarily in connection with fertility, puberty, pregnancy, or menopause. But the hormone–brain relationship reaches much further—into mood, cognition, motivation, development, and aging.
Looking at these systems together can provide a more complete framework for understanding brain health across the lifespan. This session is designed to make that bigger picture accessible without reducing complex biology to oversimplified claims.
This is an educational conversation, not a diagnosis or treatment plan. The goal is to understand the science, the relationships researchers are exploring, and why hormonal signaling matters to the brain.
Join Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, PhD, as we explore:
- Hormones as Messengers — What hormones are and why the brain responds to their signals.
- Mood and Cognition — How hormonal signaling intersects with emotion, thought, and mental performance.
- Motivation and Behavior — Why hormones may influence energy, drive, response, and behavior.
- Fertility and the Brain — How reproductive biology and brain function are connected.
- Brain Development — Why hormonal transitions matter during different stages of development.
- Hormones and Aging — How the relationship between hormones and the brain evolves over time.
Register Now — One Session, a Lifespan Perspective
This webinar brings together subjects that are often discussed separately: mood, cognition, motivation, fertility, brain development, and aging. The common thread is the way hormonal signaling interacts with the brain.
Whether your interest begins with brain health, reproductive health, human development, or healthy aging, you will leave with a clearer framework for understanding how these systems connect.

INTRODUCING OUR SPEAKER
Dr. Dayan Goodenowe
Dr. Dayan Goodenowe is a neuroscientist whose research into the biochemical mechanisms of the brain started in 1990. His curiosity about the biochemistry of life remains as insatiable today as it was over three decades ago.
Dr. Goodenowe developed advanced bioinformatic and analytical technologies, and has spent over three decades researching the biochemical mechanisms behind neurological health and the aging process.
As the founder of Prodrome Sciences and author of the bestselling book “Breaking Alzheimer’s,” Dr. Goodenowe’s research focuses on studying and researching the biochemical processes involved in cellular function.
His current focus is to study the biology of aging and the biochemical processes that influence how the body functions over time.
A Direct Look at the Hormone–Brain Connection
This live webinar moves beyond the idea that hormones belong to one isolated area of health. It examines how hormonal signaling intersects with the brain across emotion, thought, motivation, reproduction, development, and aging.
What You'll Take Away:
- A clearer understanding of how hormones communicate with and influence the brain
- Why mood, cognition, and motivation can be examined through a hormonal as well as neurological lens
- How fertility and reproductive biology connect with brain function
- Why hormonal changes matter during brain development
- How the hormone–brain relationship evolves across the lifespan
- A more connected framework for thinking about hormones, brain health, and aging

Don't Miss This Evening
Whether your interest begins with mood, cognition, motivation, fertility, development, or healthy aging, the same underlying question connects them: how do hormonal signals interact with the brain?
This webinar brings those relationships into one focused, science-based conversation with Dr. Dayan Goodenowe. You will not be given a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. You will leave with a clearer framework for understanding the hormone–brain connection across the lifespan.
What People Are Saying About Dr. Goodenowe's Work
These are individual opinions shared by attendees about Dr. Goodenowe’s educational content and research. They reflect personal experience, not typical or guaranteed outcomes, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Some contributors may be participants in our professional education or practitioner programs.
Dr. Goodenowe's research has completely changed how I think about biochemistry and the aging process. His approach is grounded in real science, not speculation.
Finally, someone who explains complex science in a way that makes sense and empowers me to think differently about health.
I am an Apollo Health Coach with a background in Bio/chem, and when I listened to Dr. Goodenowe's research, I was fascinated, intrigued and blown away. My heart beats for science, and his work has started to 'hang together' in ways that make real sense.
Dr. Goodenowe's approach to biochemistry is thorough. He doesn't stop at surface-level explanations—he focuses on the underlying mechanisms that matter for cellular health.
