Dr. Christiane Northrup’s #1 New York Times bestseller The Wisdom of Menopause has inspired more than a million women with a dramatically new vision of midlife—and will continue to do so for generations to come. As Dr. Northrup has championed, the “change” is not simply a collection of physical symptoms to be “fixed,” 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 vibrant health and well-being for the rest of her life.

Now completely revised, this groundbreaking classic draws on the current research and medical advances in women’s health, and includes
 
• a new section on sex after 50—and how, if need be, you can rejuvenate your sex life
• updated mammogram guidelines—and how thermography improves breast health
• the latest on the glycemic index, optimal blood sugar levels, and ways to prevent diabetes
• dietary guidelines revealing that hidden sugar—not dietary fat—is the main culprit in heart disease, cancer, and obesity
• all you need to know about perimenopause and why it’s critical to your well-being
• a vital program for ensuring pelvic health during and after menopause
• strategies to combat osteoporosis and strengthen bones for life
 
With this trusted resource, Dr. Christiane Northrup shows that women can make menopause a time of personal empowerment—emerging wiser, healthier, and stronger in both mind and body than ever before.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Christiane Northrup, M.D., visionary pioneer in women's health, is a board-certified ob/gyn, former assistant clinical professor of ob/gyn at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, and three-time New York Times bestselling author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, The Wisdom of Menopause and Goddesses Never Age: The Secret Prescription for Radiance, Vitality, and Well-Being. In 2013, Reader's Digest named Dr. Northrup one of the "100 Most Trusted People in America." Her books, Making Life Easy: A Simple Guide to A Divinely Inspired Life (Hay House, 2016), and Dodging Energy Vampires (Hay House, April 2018) were immediate successes, both offering Dr. Northrup's advice and perspective regarding "upstream" preventive medicine.

Internationally known for her empowering approach, Dr. Northrup embraces medicine that acknowledges the unity of mind, body, emotions, and spirit, and teaches women to create health by tuning into their inner wisdom. As a business owner, physician, former surgeon, mother, writer, speaker, and, according to Miriam Ava Ph.D., a "rebel, rock star and authority on what can go right with the female body," Dr. Northrup acknowledges our individual and collective capacity for growth, freedom, joy, and balance. And after decades spent transforming women's understanding of their sacred bodies and processes, she now shows women how to thrive at every stage of life.

In 2016, Dr. Northrup was named one of Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul 100, a group of leaders who are using their voices and talent to awaken humanity. In 2018, Dr. Northrup received the first Mind/Body Healing award, a special category within the New Thought Walden Awards, honoring those who use empowering spiritual ideas and philosophies to change lives and make the planet a better place. In 2020 and 2021 Dr. Northrup was named in the Watkins Spiritual 100, a list of living people that make a unique and spiritual contribution on a global scale.

Found This Book to Be Really Helpful

Reviewed in Australia on 2 May 2019

Verified Purchase

I have been looking for a book like this for a while and after reading the reviews I decided to give it a go. I found it incredibly helpful and she gives you a lot of insight into what women go through at menopause and helped me to really understand the changes that occur and also why they happen. A lot of things made so much sense and I highly recommend this book. I am so glad I bought it.

This was one of the most interesting books I have read about female hormones.

Reviewed in Australia on 26 July 2014

Verified Purchase

I found I could not put this down. It is definitely the richest non technical account that I have seen of women's sex hormones. Some reviewers seemed to have been put off by Northrup's tendency to make new age remarks about the meaning of women's lives. Frankly that did irritate me a bit initially, but as I began to appreciate the unique and profound understanding this doctor has of a topic that is generally so poorly understood by medical professionals, I started to feel that she was entitled to the odd aside of this kind. Also her engagement with the Louise Hay kind of view about somatic expression of buried emotions actually kind of works in the vision she suggests of a common crisis faced by women approaching menopause. I am not convinced by it entirely, but I found it really entertaining to think about and certainly not untrue.

I learnt a lot from this book even after having myself already studied biology, physiology, endocrinology etc at university.

My only real criticism is that Northrup refers to a template of a woman's life in hormonal terms, but this is not a one size fits all kind for thing. Largely, it seems that she did this because she was reflecting constantly on her own experience. I am grateful to her of exposing so much of her own process, but I also don't relate to much of it (eg.marriage, motherhood, divorce, owning a business) which made the book feel only indirectly relevant to me.

Perhaps the single most original and exciting thing about this book is that it rather unselfconsciously fuses 2 kinds of subjectivity not often seen together at all. Northrup's authorial voice is both that of a professional, highly experienced obstetric gynaecologist who has a rigorous training and a sophisticated scientific understanding, along with that of a vulnerable, confessional, flawed and bleeding soul struggling through her own life and telling ya all about it...

A book that everyone should read!

Reviewed in Australia on 1 June 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a book that every woman and man, irrespective of their age, should read. It is a holistic, unbiased guide to women’s wellbeing and happiness in perimenopausal and menopausal years. I enjoyed very much reading this book because of the well presented scientific facts intertwined with a touching personal story. The book is written by a medical doctor with a wealth of knowledge in woman’s health, who has courage to enhance standard medical practices with traditional herbal medicine, bio identical hormonal therapy, as well as the intuition and common sense.

This book has totally flipped my thinking on my journey through menopause. I have shared the positive messages and wisdom with many women friends. As a woman I have always sought knowledge regarding the different stages in my life: becoming a woman, fertility, pregnancy, birthday and mothering. Despite searching and asking lots of questions I wasn't able to find stimulating and positive information regarding menopause. The information in this book has provided me with a framework for communicating the amazing changes going on for me through this journey. I no longer approach menopause with a negative attitude. The author is able to appeal to my need for scientific and evidence-based approaches while also highlighting the amazing spiritual / emotional /psychological aspects of menopause. Thank you so much for providing me the knowledge I needed at exactly the right time.

Self-indulgent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 June 2018

Firstly, I'm only interested in my friends' struggles through divorce, not those of an author whose book is supposed to be about the menopause!
Secondly, FOCUS! We buy the book to read about the menopause, not your opinions on every subject under the sun! She rattles on and on....and ON!
Over 700 pages yet most of it is irrelevent, self-indulgent, and boring! It's almost a stream of thoughts, rather than a well-considered educational book. 13% in on my kindle, I'd learnt nothing!
Well, ok, I'd learnt about her marriage, her divorce, her parents, her friends - funnily enough, i didn't buy this book cos I wanted a biography! Further, she says some pretty hurtful things about people in her life, in my view - including her own father - and they appear to have no redress, which makes me like her even less.
I tried skim-reading once I got to 13% but was still unable to find much of use - certainly what is useful could have been edited into a much smaller, more useful, and far more interesting book!
The author also assumes all menopausal women are in their middle age, and all have kids. She ignores those of us who couldn't or chose not to have children. She also assumes that all those who have children are either unhappily married or already divorced! She excludes the many women who are menopausal at a young age, or who are still suffering into old age.
I didn't warm to her or her book and no, I do not recommend it!

Not at all what I wanted. This book encourages you to divorce and start again with a new life. What I wanted was medical info about the menopause!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 April 2018

Verified Purchase

I found this unscientific and not that helpful. I didn’t much like the fact that assumes women are married or partnered and had children in their 20s/early 30s since it approaches the menopause largely through the author's own experience and marriage break-up. All very self help positive-speak, but no facts or stats to speak of. If you want a book that really tells you about the menopause or perimenopause, this isn't it.

Christiane Northrup writes so well and covers so many issues for women at the time of menopause - physically, mentally and emotionally. All women should read this book by the age of 40, so they can start taking the supplements they need to support their body as the changes start but also to help them think about what they want to do with the rest of their lives. Positive book with so much useful information. A must have.
