The Secret Pleasures of Menopause is a groundbreaking book that is long overdue! Christiane Northrup, M.D., delivers a breakthrough message that will help millions and millions of perimenopausal and menopausal women just like you understand that at menopause . . . life has just begun! It is the beginning of a very exciting and fulfilling time, full of pleasure beyond your wildest dreams!

Dr. Northrup believes that it’s time for you to step forward and learn to enjoy the best years of your life! Even though studies show that menopause doesn’t decrease libido, ease of reaching orgasm, or sexual satisfaction, the majority of menopausal women aren’t experiencing the pleasure and sexual satisfaction that is their birthright. It is a long-held misconception that menopause signals “the beginning of the end,” and nothing could be further from the truth.

In this fascinating book, Dr. Northrup candidly guides you toward experiencing life after 50 as the most pleasurable time of your life!

Christiane Northrup, M.D., visionary pioneer in women's health, is a board-certified ob/gyn, former assistant clinical professor of ob/gyn at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, and three-time New York Times bestselling author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, The Wisdom of Menopause and Goddesses Never Age: The Secret Prescription for Radiance, Vitality, and Well-Being. In 2013, Reader's Digest named Dr. Northrup one of the "100 Most Trusted People in America." Her books, Making Life Easy: A Simple Guide to A Divinely Inspired Life (Hay House, 2016), and Dodging Energy Vampires (Hay House, April 2018) were immediate successes, both offering Dr. Northrup's advice and perspective regarding "upstream" preventive medicine.

Internationally known for her empowering approach, Dr. Northrup embraces medicine that acknowledges the unity of mind, body, emotions, and spirit, and teaches women to create health by tuning into their inner wisdom. As a business owner, physician, former surgeon, mother, writer, speaker, and, according to Miriam Ava Ph.D., a "rebel, rock star and authority on what can go right with the female body," Dr. Northrup acknowledges our individual and collective capacity for growth, freedom, joy, and balance. And after decades spent transforming women's understanding of their sacred bodies and processes, she now shows women how to thrive at every stage of life.

In 2016, Dr. Northrup was named one of Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul 100, a group of leaders who are using their voices and talent to awaken humanity. In 2018, Dr. Northrup received the first Mind/Body Healing award, a special category within the New Thought Walden Awards, honoring those who use empowering spiritual ideas and philosophies to change lives and make the planet a better place. In 2020 and 2021 Dr. Northrup was named in the Watkins Spiritual 100, a list of living people that make a unique and spiritual contribution on a global scale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting; simple yet powerful!

I found this book a great change from Dr. Northrup's other books, which I have read over and over again. It took me reading this one twice to see its magnificence. It combines ancient simple philosophy with modern science to transform our bodies at the deepest level via our chemistry and biology all done through positive thinking! Dr. Nothrup teamed up with the Noble Prize winning M.D, Dr. Murad and Dr. Edward A. Taub, using their biological theory of the free radical gas in our bodies called Nitric Oxide and how it can transform us on an upward cycle by focusing on pleasure and positive life force energy to create more and more nitric oxide. This is a very healthy free radical just as there is good and bad cholesterol. I found this simple yet profound book exactly what I needed to here. We all do tend to favor negative energy and compete for who has it the hardest, which is destroying our health by depleting our nitric oxide levels. By focusing on the positive and learning to love and accept ourselves we can transform our lives with an abundance of powerful good feelings, joy and hope. It's a new approach to the power of positive thinking with science by Medical Doctors, who won a Nobel Prize for their efforts, to back it up!

I feel very empowered to acheive optimal health through these new theories. I already eat with nutritional excellent from the book, "Eat To Live" by Joel Furham, M.D. and I am at my ideal weight. I exericise a lot and take many suppilmental vitamins and yet I have high blood pressure and suffer from anxiety. Just after reading this book and finding faith in it's words, I feel so much better and I even got my sex-drive back! This is a short easy book to read and I highly recommend it to everyone, not just women.

LOVED THIS BOOK! Easy, quick read! EVERY WOMAN SHOULD READ THIS BOOK! Dr. Northrup is a forward thinking, intelligent doctor who 'gets it' and doesn't believe drugging us up is the answer! It cleared a lot of things up for me being 'post menopausal'.. my only regret is I didn't read it BEFORE I went through menopause! Funny, interesting and 'spot on' info! I would even recommend men read it if they are truly interested in finding out why women do what they do just prior to and during menopause. It would probably save a LOT of marriages! I give this 10 STARS!

I found it to be a cute and uplifting book that espouses the positive aspects of menopause.. I hit the change at a very very early age. None of my friends wanted to talk about it then because they were/are afraid of it. Even tho I did not have this book then, I have it now. If my friends wish to talk about menopause at all now, I'll simply recommend this book :)

I highly recommend this audiobook for women of all ages, whether you are near menopause or not. Dr. Northrup's enthusiasm about being a woman is absolutely infectious, and listening to hear gives me a boost of confidence every time I play the CDs. Being a medical doctor, she also gives wonderful information on how our bodies work and the best ways to maintain them. If you're thinking of ordering this audiobook, DO IT NOW!!

This book could have been an inspiring short (and I mean short) article. How many ways can you say the same thing? If you'r emotionally or spiritually based, you'll probably love it. If you're not, here I'll save you some money: Make friends with yourself, eat right, exercise, have a good day inspite of everything, get laid. Don't get me wrong, I think that's great advice, but it doesn't fill a whole book. So what's the rest of the book? Blah blah blah blah blah.
