I went up to Philly to visit an old friend this weekend. She turned me on to this book, a pretty amazing overview of menopause. What I like most about it is that its author, Dr. Christine Northrup, is an MD who isn’t afraid of holistic and Chinese medicine. Personally, I’m fortunate because my gyno is open to alternative medicine and in fact, recommended topical progesterone before my acupuncturist did. But not every MD is well-versed in East meets West and as a result, many patients are short-changed on strategies that might help them.
If you are looking for an alternative path, check out the book. It’s definitely a must-see.

Hi,
I am really enjoying your blog and am happy to finally find someone actively blogging about taking a holistic approach to midlife. I’m a fan of Dr. Northrup too and just wanted to let you know that Women to Women (womentowomen.com — it’s in your blogroll) is the site run by the Women to Women clinic in Falmouth, Maine that Dr. Northrup helped found. So see, it’s total full circle. In a way, you were already benefiting from her style of wisdom, you just didn’t know it yet! Cheers! I’ll check in again.
Hi Jacqueline! So glad that you found flashfree and happy to hear that’s it enjoyed! I find Dr. Northrup so refreshing! Hope you’ll keep reading and spread the word.
