Internationally known for her empowering approach to women's health and wellness, Dr. Christiane Northrup is a leading proponent of medicine and healing that acknowledges the unity of the mind and body, as well as the powerful role of the human spirit in creating health. Following a career as a practicing physician in obstetrics and gynecology for over 25 years, Dr. Northrup has now dedicated her lifework to helping women (and the men who love them) learn how to create health in their lives.
One can see that Dr. Northrup "walks her talk," especially when she put her own personal truth on paper in 1994 in her first book Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom (Bantam). This groundbreaking reference of raw facts and intriguing case histories became a New York Times bestseller, has sold more than 1.4 million copies, and has been translated into 15 languages.
In 1998, Dr. Northrup continued to gain national recognition with her first two public television specials Women's Bodies, Women's Minds and Women's Bodies, Women's Choices. The success of these programs led to two more popular specials, which debuted in August of 1999: Your Diet, Your Health and The Wisdom of Menopause.
Two years later, Dr. Northrup wrote her second New York Times bestseller, The Wisdom of Menopause: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing During the Change (Bantam). In this breakthrough book, she unearths new revelations about menopause, refutes the stereotypic definition as a frenzy of hot flashes and hormonal mood swings, and instead proves that it is a powerful, hormonally supported opportunity to rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit on all levels. Over 1.4 million copies of this gutsy work have been translated into 14 languages.
In 2005, Dr. Northrup wrote a book that is very dear to her heart called Mother-Daughter Wisdom: Creating a Legacy of Emotional and Physical Health (Bantam), which explores how the mother-daughter bond sets the stage for a woman's health throughout her life cycle. In 2005, this book was nominated for the prestigious Quill Award and also voted number one by the editors at Amazon.com in both their Health, Mind & Body category and Parenting & Families categories, and also recognized as one of the 50 Best Books of 2005. More than a quarter million copies of Mother-Daughter Wisdom have been sold in seven different languages.
In March of 2007 Dr. Northrup brought her cutting-edge ideas and guidance on the most commonly misunderstood female health issues to audiences nationwide with her TV special, Menopause and Beyond: New Wisdom for Women. Her latest book, The Secret Pleasures of Menopause, was released in October of 2008 and is destined to be her biggest seller yet.
Dr. Northrup is a familiar face in the media. Mother-Daughter Wisdom became a popular public television special that continues to air. Dr. Northrup's work has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, the Today Show, NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, The View and Good Morning America and the Rachel Ray Show.
