Creating Health: Honoring Women's Wisdom - used book

Every woman’s body, teaches Dr. Chris Northrup, knows naturally what is best for it. And every woman has the power to create the health she wants – if she can connect with this instinctive wisdom. On Creating Health: Honoring Women’s Wisdom, Dr. Northrup offers a program for gaining control over your nutrition, your body, even the inner forces that shape your total wellness. This approach is based on Dr. Northrup’s work as a physician to thousands of mothers, daughters, sisters, and children. On Creating Health, she fuses her up-to-the-minute knowledge about medical science with a rare expertise in mind/body healing. What you learn may surprise you (for example, that the heart and the uterus produce the same chemicals as the brain does; they are, in effect, "thinking organs"). You will also be empowered, as you gain a wealth of subtle, simple techniques for engaging your body … drawing from your inner wisdom … and taking the action necessary to create the health you want. Creating Health is your opportunity to visit with this respected gynecologist and health authority – learn the answers to the questions you have wanted to ask – and move forward in your life, vibrant with improved health and a greater self-knowing. Five detailed audio sessions cover general health, nutrition and diet, breast health, menopause, and pre-menstrual syndrome.
