Have you ever wished your life had a “reset” button?
JANUARY 13TH, 2011
My life (and my body) swerved out of balance in 2003 when my husband’s family business filed bankruptcy in the post-9/11 economy shift. Despite the fact that I had published two books and my calendar was filled with keynote addresses a year in advance, I found myself spiraling into fear and decided that I needed to get a job with benefits. So I got one. A big job, with a big paycheck and a relentless schedule that had me working 60 hours a week. I loved my work, but my heart was breaking because I was missing out on my 6-year old son’s life and had no time for connecting with my husband. As much as I wanted to slow down or quit, I couldn’t because I was the sole financial provider for my family.
After a year of living completely out of balance (read: non-stop work fueled by carbs and caffeine), my body began to show signs of distress in the form of shingles, pneumonia and finally Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It was at that point that I reconnected with my
mentor and friend, Dr. Christiane Northrup, one of the world’s leading experts in mind/body medicine and flourishing on every possible level. Dr. Northrup took one look at me and clearly saw that I was out of balance. She lovingly challenged me to “practice what I preach” and she offered a solution to help me completely reset my body and my life in the form of a group she was creating called “Team Northrup.”
Have you ever wished your body or your life had a reset button?
If so, I invite you to join Dr. Christiane Northrup along with her daughter, Kate, and her sister, Penny, on an intimate, 30-minute call in which she will share with you what she shared with me years ago about resetting your body, your thoughts, your behaviors and your financial status.

Dr. Christiane Northrup | Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom
MAY 24TH, 2010
The newest version of the groundbreaking classic Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom by Christiane Northrup, M.D., is now available (for preorder before May 25) in bookstores across the United States. I share in Dr. Northrup’s joy and excitement when I tell you that Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom is now an essential guide for how to truly flourish in a female body, not merely avoid disease. In fact, the new Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom is an owner’s manual designed to teach you everything that can go right with your body.
The first edition of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom was published in 1994 and was based on Dr. Northrup’s many years as an OB/GYN physician. She had seen up close and personal everything that could go wrong with the female body. As a matter of fact, her medical training was based on the concept that the female body is a minefield and everyday occurrences, like the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause, can only be spoken of in the language of pathology and discomfort.
It’s now 16 years later. Since its initial release, Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom, an international bestseller, has become and remained the veritable bible of women’s health. Now, in this revised and updated edition, world-renowned and much-beloved women’s health expert Dr. Christiane Northrup shares the latest developments and advances that will maximize your potential for living well in your body today.
Inside you will discover:
- New material on sexuality—and how to have a more fulfilling sex life.
- The spiritual and scientific principles behind healing from terminal illnesses, and how you can utilize these principles for your own health and the health of others.
- Vital information about how to truly dissolve PMS and ease menstrual cramps.
- Extraordinary facts on Vitamin D—and why it is crucial for breast, cardiovascular, and immune system health.
- The importance of the preconception diet and how to greatly decrease your risk of birth defects.
- How to birth naturally, despite the current induction and C-section epidemic.
- All you need to know about thyroid function, including proper blood tests.
- Life-saving facts about cellular inflammation—the root cause of all chronic degenerative diseases—and how to prevent this condition.
- The essentials on the “fountain of youth molecule”—and how to enhance your levels of it for vibrant health.
More than simply an update, the newest version of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom is an entire rewrite! You can purchase Dr. Northrup’s beloved classic everywhere books are sold. Purchase at your favorite local bookseller or online in paperback from Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Borders and in hardcover from Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Borders.
