By taking control over what is happening within your body during this time of transition, you can make sure that life is happening for you, not to you. It is totally within your power to reinvent who you are during this time and what this next phase is going to look like for you with the right knowledge and natural remedies. Tuning Into Your Inner Wisdom with Dr. Christiane NorthrupChristiane Northrup, M.D., is a visionary pioneer in women’s health.

Because of this false story, women have been forced to buy into the narrative that there is nothing you can do when it comes to the transition of perimenopause and menopause and that this is the beginning of the end.Dr. Christiane wants you to know that is absolutely incorrect. You have the power to transition from your previous ‘normal’ to something more beautiful than you could ever imagine.

Through the little ways, you love and nourish yourself from cell to soul will set the tone for how you experience this next phase of your journey. The changes your body is going through are not a betrayal, but simply an opportunity to push the envelope and discover what is truly going on inside of you.Through simple, natural, and effective remedies, you can take back control of this transition, dip into the fountain of youth, and reclaim your voice.
