Wisdom of Menopause
Self-healing, change and new beginnings in the second half of life

In “The Wisdom of Menopause,” Christiane Northrup thoroughly dispels the common notion that the term “menopause” simply refers to a collection of physical problems that need to be treated—preferably with hormones!

Rather, menopause is a physical and mental upheaval that offers women a real opportunity for growth—if they succeed in listening to their inner voice. Christiane Northrup uncovers the connection between menopause and a woman's emotional life and describes, among other things, in "The Wisdom of Menopause," how menopause leads to a shift in female priorities, how women can recognize menopausal symptoms as wake-up calls from their bodies, how hormonal changes affect sexuality, how women cope with changes in their appearance, and how they can protect themselves from heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer.

Christiane Northrup encourages women to understand their bodies' messages, to view menopause as a time of positive energy, and to harness the wonderful power of this phase of life for their personal development. In the new edition of the bestseller "The Wisdom of Menopause," Christiane Northrup has compiled the latest studies and case studies and shares her wealth of experience from her own practice.
