Es erklärt sowohl die psychischen als auch die körperlichen Vorgänge während der Wechseljahre, bezieht sich auf Studien und medizinische Erkenntnisse, nimmt aber die Frauen ganzheitlich ernst. Ich konnte damit sehr viel anfangen und Vorgänge, die mir meine Frauenärztin falsch oder unzureichend erklärt hat, zum ersten Mal richtig verstehen. ( ) Christiane Northrup beschreibt offen, klar und einfühlsam die Veränderungen, die Frauen zwischen 40 und 55 erwarten. Dabei räumt sie gründlich auf mit der gängigen Vorstellung, dass die Wechseljahre bloß eine Zeit des Verlusts, des Abschieds und der Krankheit sind. Stattdessen ermutigt sie die Frauen, die Botschaften ihres Körpers zu verstehen, die Wechseljahre als eine Zeit der positiven Energie zu begreifen und die wunderbare Kraft dieser Lebensphase für ihre persönliche Entwicklung zu nutzen. Much of this book assumes that all women entering menopause have spent the past 30 years of their lives caring for husbands and children. (The title of Chapter 3 captures the whole approach: "Coming Home to Yourself: from Dependence to Healthy Autonomy") Doesn't describe my life AT ALL, so much of the "theorizing" she does about the whys and wherfores and solutions doesn't seem to apply to me at all. I also was put off by the heavy amount of "suggestive selling" of drugs, supplements, and self-help plans . . . $$$$$. When I started the book I was experiencing hot flashes and night sweats and looking for possible solutions. By the time I finished the book (two months later; reading most, but skimming near the end), I was no longer having those symptoms (which I attribute to a yoga sequence designed for menopause symptoms . . . the herbal and OTC things I tried from the book didn't agree with me at all). Not sure the 750 pages were really worth my time and energy, but other women might find her approach useful. I read the first, oh, hundred pages and then I started skimming for things to snort at. There were lots of things for my skeptical atheist self to snort at. Including gems like: "The difference between the postpartum period and perimenopause is that during perimenopause you're giving birth to yourself." "It has now been scientifically documented that specific patterns of emotional vulnerability affect specific organs or systems of the body." (No footnotes or citations here.) "One of the first things you need to do in order to heal your digestive problems at midlife is to shore up your third emotional center. The third emotional center is located in the solar plexus area, and the health of this area affects all our organs of digestion, including the stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine and upper large intestine. Women with substantial weight problems usually have unresolved issues in the third emotional center." And so forth. Lots of talk about one's soul. To be scrupulously fair, there's plenty of good information in this book. I'm just not willing to wade through all the bullshit to get to it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

En La sabiduria de la menopausia, la doctora Northrup vuelve a desafiar los convencionalismos, como ya hizo en su aclamada obra Cuerpo de mujer, sabiduria de mujer, que le valio un reconocimiento internacional. En su nuevo trabajo sobre este periodo de transformaciones, Northrup defiende que "el cambio" es algo mas que una serie de problemas fisicos que hay que "arreglar" ya sea con hormonas o con hierbas. Este "cambio" es una verdadera revolucion fisica y mental, algo que la mujer no experimentaba con esa intensidad desde la adolescencia. [Y es conveniente que empiece a prepararse desde el periodo premenopausico.] La menopausia no es un tiempo de perdidas; la lectura de este libro ayudara a la mujer a interpretar el autentico mensaje que le esta enviando su cuerpo, y que le dice que se encuentra en un momento de gran fortalecimiento vital y de energia positiva, un tiempo propicio para la liberacion y la realizacion plenas--Cover.Dr. Christiane Northrup destroys myths and challenges convention.
