A multiple New York Times best-selling author, Dr. Northrup put her own personal truth on paper in 1994, with the first edition of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom (Bantam, 1994, 1998, 2006, 2010, 2020). This groundbreaking classic quickly became a New York Times bestseller, and has been the veritable bible of women’s health for nearly two decades. Recently, the new, fully revised 5th edition of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom published. In this updated-for-2020 edition, Dr. Northrup expands on the many ways a woman can access her body’s innate wisdom and ability to heal. As in previous editions, she covers the entire range of women’s health—from the first menstrual period through menopause. Plus, she adds a lot of new information to empower women even further with recommendations for combining new technologies with natural remedies, and her advice on how to use them to support the miraculous healing powers of a woman’s body.
‘Her second book, The Wisdom of Menopause (Bantam, 2001, 2006, 2012, 2021) has been embraced by women everywhere, including Oprah Winfrey, who sought Dr. Northrup’s wisdom when she turned 50 and faced “The Big M.” In this New York Times bestseller, Dr. Northrup once again challenges convention with inspiring insights—the “change” is not a collection of symptoms to be fixed, but a mind/body revolution, which brings tremendous opportunity for happiness.” The new, fully-revised 4th edition (May, 2021) includes current research on everything from hormone testing and replacement to more effective, less invasive fibroid treatments, and from releasing extra pounds, to supplements that are even better than botox for a youthful appearance. Plus so much more.’
