A groundbreaking book on women's physical and emotional well-being, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom has become a classic, with more than 270,000 copies in print in the four years since its initial publication. Now it has been completely revised, offering the most up-to-date information available on women's health issues.
Christiane Northrup's vision of mind-body wellness has received an extraordinary response from women all over the world. Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom powerfully demonstrates that when women change the basic conditions of their lives that lead to health problems, they heal faster, more completely, and with far fewer medical interventions.
Now Dr. Northrup brings us vital new information about the best techniques of Western medicine and the best alternative therapies, showing how to incorporate both into a complementary whole. She guides readers through the entire range of women's health problems, and offers strikingly new, positive perspectives on normal processes, such as menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. This edition includes:
• An all-new nutrition chapter emphasizing individual dietary needs and body chemistry
• New information on improving fertility after age 35—and how to cut the risk of C-section by 50 percent
• A completely updated program for menopause, including how to decide whether natural hormone replacement is right for you
• Holistic ways to prepare and heal faster if surgery is necessary
• Plus dozens of new natural treatments and a wealth of hard-to-find health care resources
Filled with dramatic case histories from the famed Women to Women health care center, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom is contemporary medicine at its best, combining new technologies with natural remedies and the miraculous healing powers within the body itself.

Summary: Wisdom achieved!
Comment: Probably the best book around about women's health! Very highly recommended. First, I received it as a gift, and I have since bought this book as a gift for my sister and sister-in-law! The book includes ample information regarding conventional medicince, but it also explores alternative medicine as well as nutrition. Discusses psychological and physiological issues that affect the body. A must-buy guide to receiving the true wisdom that the body deserves!

Summary: fantastic
Comment: This book is fantastic, not only for a first time read but as a useful resource as you pass through different stages of life; pregnancy, birth, illness or menopause, Dr Chris covers it all. Her courage in combining what she has learned through years of study and training in the medical field, with what she knows instinctively through her heart and intuition, is a blessing to all women. Whilst I have read many books involving the body mind connection and the intriguing beauty of the mind, this book still had the power to change my life in ways I hadn't considered. I couldn't help but discuss what i was learning through the book with friends and family of varying ages, who went out and got their own copy too...if you feel instinctively like this book has something in store for you, go for it, it could change your life too :)

Summary: Never Too Old to Learn
Comment: This book contains LOTS of important information for women. It is well written and very readable. Don't be put off by the length or the many medical terms. There are many good ideas about nutrition and living well in your own body. Can be somewhat repetitive.

Summary: Fabulous!
Comment: This is a well-rounded approach to women's physical health, and the mental-spiritual connection that ties it all together. This isn't just a doctor's remedy book, this tells us the power that we hold within ourselves, to visualize a better, whole being.
