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 recommend Women'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 Defying Gravity
