Here you will learn how to slow down time to match your natural rhythms, allowing you to be fully present for your life. Learning this can make the difference between an exuberant life and one you're always recovering from.

The Wisdom of Menopause

Book Title:
The Wisdom of Menopause

Author Last Name:
Northrup

Author First Name:
Christiane

Publisher:
Bantam

Year Published:
2003

ISBN:
055338080X

Book Review:

In a book destined to be a classic, Dr. Christiane Northrup 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. She also addresses how the body adjusts naturally to changing hormones, how to deal with metabolism shifts, weight gain, sexual problems, and appearance issues and much more. From this book you will emerge wiser, healthier, and stronger in both mind and body than ever before.
