Average Customer Ratings:

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.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Eye-opening! -
This book literally changed my life...the way I think, eat and exercise. It has influenced my priorities, emotions and health and I recommend it not only to all women going through menopause...but to all women PERIOD; young and old. I even encourage all MEN to read this to better understand the women in their life and what they go through. It was an easy, fast read and I keep it handy to refer to it often as a resource. I so related to her perspective - Can't wait to read her other books!

Superb and a Most Essential Book for all Women to Read -
Brillian book, most essential for all women to read in their years leading up to the menopause. It addresses all aspects of symptons all women will experience at some point in their life, gives you remedies for a natural approach to handle it or what you should ask your doctor should you need more help. It also gives you scenarios from real people she has treated, which I am sure some women can relate to. Most of all it gives you some reasoning and direction for what is happening in your body and why it happens. It is a bible for all women.

The Wisdom of Menopause by Dr. Christiane Northrup -
received book"The Wisdom of Menopause, in excellent shape of new condition
if you are in a spot in your life of pre or post memopause this is a book
that will help tremendously. The Doctor is very informative.

Wise Beyond Its Years -
For years I've seen Dr. Northrup pop up on PBS and Oprah and for some reason I just never could "get into her" when I saw her on TV. This is the first of her books that I've read and all I can say is wow! Packed with medical health information, quality holistic health info, tons of personality, and yes -- a lot of wisdom -- this is the perfect menopause guide to read for women who want to embrace this time of their lives spiritually, mentally, and physically. I know others have pointed out that the "new aginess" of the book was a turn-off. I actually liked it. Look, you can find dry medical advice about menopause just about anywhere. I really appreciate this creative dimension to the book and felt it added to its cover-to-cover readability. Also, now that I've become a Northrup devotee, I've done some poking around the web for more resources like this one. For anyone won over by Wisdom of Menopause, I recommend checking out womentowomen.com. It is part of the clinic cofounded by Northrup way back when in Maine and has lots of great articles that follow Dr. Northrup's way of thinking.

Good but not as good as I expected -
Lots of sound medical advice and explanations but this book would have been more readable (and much shorter) if she had left out some of the personal and New Age info. Other books I've read on the subject have pretty much the same information on perimenopause so I didn't find much new. Got it from the library or else I probably would be returning it to get my money back.
