Dr. Northrup broke entirely new ground with Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom. Here she examines menopause, not as a problem to be fixed but as a mind/body revolution that brings the greatest opportunity for growth since adolescence. Among the topics covered are how menopause jump-starts dramatic changes in the brain; the empty nest and mid-life marriages; how the body naturally adjusts to changing hormones; and how to deal with metabolism shifts, sexual problems and appearance issues. No mid-life woman should be without this book.
