Through her best-selling books, groundbreaking PBS specials, and up-to-the-minute clinical knowledge, Dr. Christiane Northrup has earned a place as one of America’s most trusted medical advisers. In the latest edition of The Wisdom of Menopause, she once again challenges convention with this inspiring look at one of the commonly misunderstood female health issues. The “change” is not simply a collection of physical symptoms to be “fixed,” Dr. Northup claims, but a mind-body revolution that brings the greatest opportunity for growth since adolescence. The choices a woman makes now, from the quality of her relationships to the quality of her diet, have the power to secure her health and well-being for the rest of her life. Through her personal story and many fascinating case histories, Dr. Northrup shows: How menopause jump-starts changes in the brain, issuing a dramatic wake-up call to body, mind and emotions How to ensure the long-term health of breasts, bones and heart How the body adjusts naturally to changing hormones Why best-selling drugs like Premarin and Prempro may not be the best choice How to deal with metabolism shifts, weight, sexual problems and appearance issues How to negotiate the challenges of “the empty nest” and midlife marriage And much more! In this newly revised edition, Dr. Northrup shows women howthey can make menopause a time of personal empowerment and positive energy – emerging wise, healthier and stronger in both mind and body than ever before Paperback, 656 pages, published 10/06
