Ep. 75 – DR CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP – The Wisdom of Menopause; HRT or Natural?

If you’re a woman over the age of 30, no doubt you’ve thought about menopause. If you’re approaching it, you’re no doubt worried about it, and if you’re going through it, you’re probably wondering “WHAT WISDOM!”   But women’s bodies are full of wisdom.   And Dr Northrup tells us how to listen to it, to make the transition into menopause less challenging.   Dr Northrup answers the questions:   Is HRT safe and should we be choosing this option? What are the options? Does a natural approach to menopause work? What about bio-identical hormones? Can we work towards preventing a difficult menopause? Is there a way to not suffer during menopause? What are the leading causes of the suffering we see in menopausal women?   Dr Northrup’s best seller, Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom, has recently been completely updated and I’d recommend checking that out on amazon, along with Goddesses Never Age and The Wisdom of Menopause.   Also make sure to sign up to her newsletter at www.drnorthrup.com for essential updates.   The last episode we recorded together, Take Back Your Goddamn Power (Ep. 70) got such an incredible response that I needed to get Dr Northrup back to speak on this subject that so many of my listeners reach out to me about. She really is the leading authority on this subject.   For more info on Dr Northrup head over to the shownotes of that episode.   Discussed in show:   Dr Doris E Cohen - 7 Steps of Rebirth Joseph Campbell – Goddesses: Mysteries of the Divine Feminine     ***   This season of Reconditioned is kindly sponsored by Block Blue Light UK, the UK’s leading company for anti-blue light products, to fix sleep issues, eliminate eye strain and improve health.
