Dhara Lemos, Lotus Guide Magazine (www.lotusguide.com) Customer Rating: Summary: A woman's "bible" on "the change" Comment: I thank God for this book. I have been reading books for 10 years trying to find the answers to what is happening to me. This book is for women who not only want to know but want to know how to respond and help get through it with sanity intact. This is THE best resource. Men just don't get it. I'm sorry, but no male doctor book has the depth and understanding this female doctor has. It is worth so much more than the price....it's priceless. Customer Rating: Summary: The Wisdom of Menopause: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing During the Change, 2nd Edition Comment: I was very disappointed with this book. I was looking for a book that discussed the body changes with menopause. Instead I got a book that was very pro divorce. It was interspearsed everywhere throughout the book. Very sad that alot of people might read this book because the author is well known and they will be encouraged to drop everything and think only of themselves at the expense of their families, especially their children. I ended up throwing the book in the garbage can. Customer Rating: Summary: Not helpful for me Comment: This book isn't what I was expected. I expected to learn more about the stages before menopause, and I did, but I didn't expect to read something that, in some ways, was depressing. The author explains her life and how menopause affected her when she didn't realize it, causing her marriage to fail. But with me, this is the happiest time of my life with a new marriage. It's hard to read the depressing divorce stories while my marriage is happy and a new beginning on life. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: 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.
