The Wisdom of Menopause Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing During the Change by Christiane Northrup - USED

Menopause 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.--From publisher description.
