The Wisdom of Menopause : Creating Physical and Emotional Health During the Change Description

Review

Praise for the works of Christiane Northrup, M.D.
 
The Wisdom of Menopause
 
“…One menopause book does rise…above the rest. Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, [The Wisdom of Menopause] is the bible of middle-aged womanhood.”—Sandra Tsing Loh, The Atlantic


"The Wisdom of Menopause offers an honest look at the menopausal transition. This is sometimes painful, sometimes humorous, but never boring. If you are looking for realistic, positive, and constructive solutions to the inevitable challenges of life, then look no further—you have found your sourcebook.”—The North American Menopause Society
 
“Northrup writes from experience and, more important, from her professional expertise as a physician who has treated many women and researched menopause. The specific medical advice on sleep, diet, breast health and the empowerment motif will bring insight, comfort and confidence to women embarked on ‘the change.’ ”—Publishers Weekly

Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom

“I recommendWomen’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom to all women and also to all men who want to understand and nourish the women in their lives.”—Deepak Chopra, M.D., author of Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul
 
“A masterpiece for every woman who has an interest in her body, her mind, and her soul.”—Caroline Myss, Ph.D., author of DefyingGravity

One of the many things I've always appreciated about Dr. Northrup's work is that her research and brilliance in the field of women's health is delivered with a large dose of highly personal experience. Her book is rich with inspiring stories taken from her own life and those of her patients. The Wisdom of Menopause is as much her story as it is ours.

For those of us trying to retain our sanity while dealing with a medical and pharmaceutical system that sees our reproductive organs only in terms of cancer and profit, this book is priceless. With so many studies put out that conflict (often from industry public relations sources) it is important to have a reliable guide who can inform as well as debunk. Dr. Northrup's ability to sift through the data and separate myth from truth is a godsend. Not only does she give us the right questions to ask when confronting either a discomfort or a diagnosis, but she spends much of the books 600+ pages on wellness. Thankfully I didn't find those annoying, victimizing "Breast Cancer Awareness" ads here. I found Breast Health advice! Isn't that what we really want to know?? How do I keep these babies healthy?...NOT just how do I diagnose them. And if you should be diagnosed with a cancer you will be given traditional and alternative methods for dealing with it as well as a careful explanation of topics like over-diagnosis of conditions which are not life-threatening. She doesn't just treat the body, her mind-body-emotion approach treats the person.

As noted, this book is not just about what can go wrong. She covers diet, exercise, supplements, sex after 50 and the very positive neurological changes that reunite us with the energy and enthusiasm many of us lost after puberty. This isn't the paternalistic medicine you may be used to.
I bought this book because I was seeking some explanations and objective/natural solutions that might help me thru menopause. I chose this book because of the overall positive reviews. I support the idea of taking good care of yourself, especially as you get older. I wish I had read more comments with the 1 -2 star rating, because they are dead on.

I am only on the second chapter, but ready to call it quits. The first chapter was such a turn off that I also have difficulty taking her seriously. It's as if she wrote the book to provide therapy for HERSELF! I'm sorry she was miserable in her life & marriage, and discovered this when she was going thru peri/menopause - but what does that have to do with the rest of us. When I read that as a doctor she allowed her fibroid to get to the size of a soccer ball before she did anything with it, makes me think that she is crazy. Being conservative about what medical procedures you have is one thing, but this is just over the top.

And yes, her perception of marriage is so negative & depressing I think she did her husband a favor by leaving. Her views of male/female relationships is like something from the 1950's. It's clear that she thinks married women are all as miserable as she was.
I will take a glance at chapters 4-6 like some recommend, in case there is some actual information. But overall I would not recommend this book to any women, unless you just want to get depressed and fed up with your husband.

I did not have a career, but CHOSE to be a full time mom & wife. My husband and I are equal partners if every way. Even with my traditional role I cannot relate to much of what she says. If I choose to go back to work, volunteer, or just stay home that is my choice and I know my husband would support it.
