Christiane Northrup, M.D. What would your life be like if you learned how to respect your body as though it were a precious creation—as valuable as a beloved friend? What if you no longer lived in fear of germs or cancer? What would happen if you truly trusted your body’s messages? Noted author and visionary Dr. Christiane Northrup asked us to ponder these questions because she finds that lasting health and wholeness are only possible when we discover and practice behaviors associated with true health and wholeness. Dr. Northrup believes that the time to listen to our body’s wisdom is now! “Once you engage your own inner wisdom, you can change or improve your habits of thought, your emotions, and your behaviors . . . and create a more positive and joyful life experience right away,” Dr. Northrup says. “This process, when engaged in regularly, heals both your present and your future.” Internationally known for her empowering approach to women’s health and wellness, Dr. Northrup is a leading proponent of medicine and healing that acknowledges the unity of the mind and body, as well as the powerful role of the human spirit in creating health. Following a career as a practicing physician in obstetrics and gynecology for over 20 years, Dr. Northrup has now dedicated her lifework to helping women (and the men who love them) learn how to create health in their lives. One can see that Dr. Northrup “walks her talk,” especially when she put her own personal truth on paper in her  books Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom,  Women's Bodies, Women's Choices and Women's Bodies, Women's Minds; The Mind Body Connection. Dr. Northrup's breakthrough book, The Wisdom of Menopause: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing During the Change, she unearths new revelations about menopause, refutes the stereotypic definition as a frenzy of hot flashes and hormonal mood swings, and instead proves that it is a powerful , hormonally supported opportunity to rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit on all levels. Women around the world have embraced this book, including Oprah Winfrey, who sought Dr. Northrup’s wise words when she turned 50 and faced “The Big M.” Through her print newsletter, Dr Christiane Northrup Newsletter, and monthly e-letter, and her newly refurbished Web site, Dr. Northrup stays in touch with her many fans worldwide. As a business owner, physician, former surgeon, mother, writer, and speaker, Dr. Northrup acknowledges our individual and collective capacity for growth, freedom, joy, and balance. She says, “When you move toward that which is most fulfilling and life-enhancing, healing follows regardless of what your health is like in that moment.” Dr. Christiane Northrup's books and newsletter can be ordered through Amazon.com by clicking on the highlighted links you see in the above information.
