Christiane Northrup intoduces us to the journey of
menopause, from a
personal point of view and from her experience
as a woman's doctor.
Case histories and medical knowledge are combined to show us what
to expect during this time of transition; physical and emotional changes,
our sense of self-worth and identity, and our relationship to our family,
partners, and careers.
We are encouraged to look beyond cultural belief on how a women
declines during this life stage, and embrace the truth of our self: that
this is a maximum
opportunity to develop creativity, new careers or
life works, and explore the innate spirituality within us.
Comprehensive medical explaination on the stages of
menopause,
the physical and emotional changes, essential information on hormones
and hormonal replacement therapy, myth and reality on menopausal
sex and desire, mid-life body care, breast health, osteporosis and
cardiovascular health, as well as changing nutritional needs are detailed
in a simple and straight-forward style.
Christiane Northrup demonstrates the benefit of a holistic approach
to menopause and it's wonderful life-affirming opportunity for feminine
empowerment.
