The Wisdom of Menopause
by Christiane Northrup
Book Description:
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.
What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause: The Breakthrough
Book on Natural Progesterone
by John R., MD Lee, Virginia Hopkins
Book Description:
Women considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause symptoms and
health benefits should read this controversial, provocative book first. "Advertising
and research dollars are spent trying to convince women that estrogen will cure
everything from heart disease to Alzheimer's," writes John R. Lee, M.D.,
"but there is scant evidence for any of these claims and reams of evidence
that synthetic estrogens are highly toxic and carcinogenic." Lee has studied
the research and concludes that estrogen is not the magic bullet for protection
against heart disease and osteoporosis, nor does it retard aging. Natural progesterone,
instead, puts postmenopausal women's hormones in balance, says Lee. He cites
study after study that indicates that natural progesterone, obtained in cream
form, delivers what the usual HRT only promises. "Menopause as a disease
has been largely fabricated by physicians and the pharmaceutical industry,"
says this leader of a "quiet but powerful revolution" regarding HRT.
What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause covers the benefits of natural
progesterone, the history and politics of the medical and drug establishment,
the biochemistry and dynamics of hormones and how they get out of balance, and
how to prevent hormone imbalance and stay healthy. Lee empowers you to ask hard
questions of your doctor.
