Now in its third edition, the groundbreaking, New York Times bestselling classic that has challenged and inspired an entire generation of women with a dramatically new vision of midlife--and that will continue to do so for generations to come. Dr. Christiane Northrup's #1 New York Times bestseller The Wisdom of Menopause has inspired more than a million women with a dramatically new vision of midlife. As Dr. Northrup has championed, the "change" is not simply a collection of physical symptoms to be "fixed," but a mind-body revolution that brings the greatest opportunity for growth since adolescence. The choices a woman makes now--from the quality of her relationships to the quality of her diet--have the power to secure vibrant health and well-being for the rest of her life. Drawing on the current research and medical advances in women's health, the book includes • a section on sex after 50--and how, if need be, you can rejuvenate your sex life • updated mammogram guidelines--and how thermography improves breast health • the latest on the glycemic index, optimal blood sugar levels, and ways to prevent diabetes • dietary guidelines revealing that hidden sugar--not dietary fat--is the main culprit in heart disease, cancer, and obesity
