Dr. Christiane Northrup – Women’s Wellness Advocate

Do you ever feel that there must be another way to achieve wellness?  Do you sometimes feel that your doctor doesn’t give you the whole picture of women’s health?  Do you ever have questions about your body and all it is capable of?  Do you want to know how to increase your pleasure and joy as a woman?  Well, Dr. Christiane Northrup has the answers to those questions and many, many more.

Dr. Christiane Northrup is widely regarded as a pioneer in women’s health and wellness.  A former obstetrics and gynecology physician, Dr. Northrup is committed to challenging the status quo of women’s health and empowering women with a new perspective on the beauty and ability of their amazing bodies.  You could say that she not only has the professional experience, but she also has the insider’s view.

In our conversation, Dr. Northrup said, “I’ve spent the first half of my life studying and footnoting everything that can go wrong with the female body—and figuring out how to fix it. I’m dedicating the second half of my life to illuminating everything that can go right with the female body, including teaching women how to truly flourish.”

One way Dr. Northrup has championed women’s health and wellness is through awareness.  She wants every woman in the world to realize the worth and potential of her body and its interaction with all other facets of a woman’s life. She began with the groundbreaking New York Times Bestseller, Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom.  More myths about women’s health were dispelled with Dr. Northrup’s second Bestseller, The Wisdom of Menopause: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing During the Change.  Menopause, misjudged to be one of the most difficult times in a woman’s life, was given new hope and understanding.  With The Secret Pleasures of Menopause and The Secret Pleasures of Menopause Playbook, menopause becomes a time of beginning and hidden joy and satisfaction.

Dr. Christiane Northrup has not only been featured on the Today show, NBC Nightly News, Rachael Ray, The View, Good Morning America, PBS and ABC’s 20/20. The much-anticipated updated re-release of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom in 2010 is proof that women’s health issues need constant review and this vital information is always in high demand.

Dr. Christiane Northrup’s revolutionary research and holistic perspective on women’s health has empowered women in their search for wellness, understanding and appreciation of their own selves.  She doesn’t sugar coat where honesty is needed.  She doesn’t hide behind technical jargon but states her whole opinion bluntly and in accessible language.  With her medical experience on one hand and her women’s intuitive wisdom on the other, Dr. Christiane Northrup is the ideal advocate for women’s health and wellness.  It was and always is enlightening to speak with her.
