Dr. Christiane Northrup Has Become One Of American Women's Most Trusted Medical Advisers. In Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, She Broke Entirely New Ground By Demonstrating That Women's Most Common Medical Problems Are Often Rooted In The Basic Conditions Of Their Lives -- And That They Can Return To Health By Learning To Listen To Their Bodies.

Now, In The Wisdom Of Menopause, Dr. Northrup Once Again Challenges Convention.

This Vitally Important New Book Examines The Connection Between Menopause And A Woman's Emotional And Spiritual Life. And It Stresses How The Choices A Woman Makes Now -- From The Quality Of Her Relationships To The Quality Of Her Diet -- Either Secure Her Health And Well-being For The Rest Of Her Life, Or Put Her Future At Risk.

Candid And Reassuring, The Wisdom Of Menopause Elucidates The Changes Women Should Expect From Ages 40 To 55, And Shows How These Changes Can Be Wonderfully Life-affirming.
