The Wisdom of Menopause

BOOK REVIEW

The Wisdom of Menopause
by Dr. Christine Northrup

Dr. Christiane Northrup Northrup reframes menopause as far more than a set of symptoms to manage, she calls it a genuine mind-body revolution, one of the biggest developmental thresholds a woman crosses after adolescence.

What I appreciate most is her insistence that the irritability, the shifting priorities, the sudden lack of patience for things you used to tolerate, aren't malfunctions, they're your body finally refusing to stay quiet about what no longer fits your life.

It promises to be a grounding read for any woman who's been told to medicate her way through this season instead of listening to what it's trying to tell her.
