Summary: Eye-opening!
Comment: This book literally changed my life...the way I think, eat and exercise. It has influenced my priorities, emotions and health and I recommend it not only to all women going through menopause...but to all women PERIOD; young and old. I even encourage all MEN to read this to better understand the women in their life and what they go through. It was an easy, fast read and I keep it handy to refer to it often as a resource. I so related to her perspective - Can't wait to read her other books!

Summary: Superb and a Most Essential Book for all Women to Read
Comment: Brillian book, most essential for all women to read in their years leading up to the menopause. It addresses all aspects of symptons all women will experience at some point in their life, gives you remedies for a natural approach to handle it or what you should ask your doctor should you need more help. It also gives you scenarios from real people she has treated, which I am sure some women can relate to. Most of all it gives you some reasoning and direction for what is happening in your body and why it happens. It is a bible for all women.

Summary: Wise Beyond Its Years
Comment: For years I've seen Dr. Northrup pop up on PBS and Oprah and for some reason I just never could "get into her" when I saw her on TV. This is the first of her books that I've read and all I can say is wow! Packed with medical health information, quality holistic health info, tons of personality, and yes -- a lot of wisdom -- this is the perfect menopause guide to read for women who want to embrace this time of their lives spiritually, mentally, and physically. I know others have pointed out that the "new aginess" of the book was a turn-off. I actually liked it. Look, you can find dry medical advice about menopause just about anywhere. I really appreciate this creative dimension to the book and felt it added to its cover-to-cover readability. Also, now that I've become a Northrup devotee, I've done some poking around the web for more resources like this one. For anyone won over by Wisdom of Menopause, I recommend checking out womentowomen.com. It is part of the clinic cofounded by Northrup way back when in Maine and has lots of great articles that follow Dr. Northrup's way of thinking.

Summary: Good but not as good as I expected
Comment: Lots of sound medical advice and explanations but this book would have been more readable (and much shorter) if she had left out some of the personal and New Age info. Other books I've read on the subject have pretty much the same information on perimenopause so I didn't find much new. Got it from the library or else I probably would be returning it to get my money back.
