The Wisdom of Menopause Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing During the Change 2nd Edition
Powered by Max Banner Ads
Through her bestselling 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 advisors.
In The Wisdom of Menopause, she once again challenges convention with this inspiring look at one of the most commonly misunderstood female health issues. The “change” is not simply a collection of physical symptoms to be “fixed,” Dr. Northrup 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 bestselling drugs like Premarin may not be the best choice
• How to deal with metabolism shifts, weight gain, sexual problems, and appearance issues
• How to negotiate the challenges of “the empty nest” and midlife marriage
And much more.
In a book destined to be a classic, Dr. Northrup shows women how they can make menopause a time of personal empowerment and positive energy–emerging wiser, healthier, and stronger in both mind and body than ever before.
User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Great book
I received my book in a timely manner and it was just as the add indicated. Great Condition! I am enjoying the book and I say…why pay $29.95 (new) for a book when you can get it on Amazon.com for $.99 plus shipping. I’ll never buy a book new again.
5 Stars 2 Extraordinary Books for Mid-Lifers
I have been educating myself about menopause since I hit 40. This book covers everything I discovered plus gives a spiritual side that medical literature never covers. It is full of excellent practical advice. Dr. Northrup combines traditional medicine with other ‘medicines’ in a nice balance. ‘THE WISDOM OF MENOPAUSE’ and Stop the Age Clock: Look 20 Years Younger, 20 Pounds Lighter and 200% Prettier in Only 20 Days are life changing books. I can’t recommend them too highly!
5 Stars Excellent Information for Women
Christiane Northrup has written an excellent book for women who are going through perimenopause and menopause. Especially useful for women who are suffering from symptoms of hotflashes, depression, listlessness, etc. She doesn’t tell you what to do, she just gives you the information so that you can talk with your Dr. to discuss the approach that best suits you.
5 Stars This book is a must-read for every woman over 40!
I wish I had this book 20 years ago. It is full of the latest information about hormone replacement: Synthetic hormones from horse pee-Bad! Bio-identical hormones-Good! Normally I read books and pass them on to my friends. This one I am keeping as a reference and telling friends they MUST buy it for themselves.
5 Stars An awesome reference book!
I appreciate the personal perceptions and insights that Dr. Northrup provides. It’s a great reference book and also a publication that puts you at ease.
