The Wisdom of Menopause

Dr. Christiane Northrup’s #1 New York Times bestseller The Wisdom of
Menopause has inspired more than a million women with a dramatically new
vision of midlife—and will continue to do so for generations to come.
As Dr. Northrup has championed, the “change” is not simply a collection
of physical symptoms to be “fixed,” 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 vibrant health and
well-being for the rest of her life. Now completely revised, this
groundbreaking classic draws on the current research and medical
advances in women’s health, and includes: a new section on sex after
50—and how, if need be, you can rejuvenate your sex life; updated
mammogram guidelines—and how thermography improves breast health; the
latest on the glycemic index, optimal blood sugar levels, and ways to
prevent diabetes; dietary guidelines revealing that hidden sugar—not
dietary fat—is the main culprit in heart disease, cancer, and obesity;
all you need to know about perimenopause and why it’s critical to your
well-being; a vital program for ensuring pelvic health during and after
menopause; and strategies to combat osteoporosis and strengthen bones
for life. With this trusted resource, Dr. Christiane Northrup shows that
women can make menopause a time of personal empowerment—emerging wiser,
healthier, and stronger in both mind and body than ever before.
