Living, loving, working and playing feel great when your body moves, breathes, pumps and rests the way it's meant to. Women are finding that whatever it takes — time, attention and commitment — good health is worth it. The payoff is greater energy to do the things we love, more vitality to be with people we care about, and increased strength and stamina, both emotionally and physically, to assume the responsibilities we choose. Traditionally, women have been family caretakers and nurturers. Today, we are expanding these important roles. Women are now empowered to offer our feminine perspective to a world where families and communities need us in a variety of new and challenging ways.

    Katrina Ubell: You are listening to the Weight Loss for Busy Physicians podcast with Katrina Ubell, MD, episode number 206. Welcome to Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, the podcast where busy doctors like you get the practical solutions and support you need to permanently lose the weight so you can feel better and have the life you want. If you're looking to overcome your stress eating and exhaustion and move into freedom around food, you're in the right place. Well, hey, there, my friend. Welcome back to the podcast. Do I ever have a treat for you? This is literally a dream come true. If you are young, you probably haven't heard of Christiane Northrup. But if you are like me in your mid 40s and older, you probably remember Christiane Northrup. She was on Oprah several times. She's Oprah famous, people. She's the real deal. I remember watching her on Oprah. She was telling that the first time she went on she said was in 1998 which was my first year in medical school. I remember her coming on and talking about women's health issues and especially talking about menopause and a new way of thinking about menopause. I remember thinking to myself, "Oh, someday when my body reaches that point, I should look up the stuff that she's teaching." Of course, it didn't feel relevant to me in my close to mid 20s at the time, but I have always kept tabs on... Yeah, she's one of those resources.

  • Okay. So We're Keeping the Conversation Going from Today's Show About Hormone Replacement Therapy
    Oprah: Okay. So we're keeping the conversation going from today's show about hormone replacement therapy. I'm taking the night off, so you've got Dr. Christiane Northrup all to yourself. I say that she wrote the Bible on menopause, The Wisdom of Menopause. We hit a big old nerve with our shows. More than 22,000 of you responded online wanting to know more. So here you go. Take it away, Dr. Christiane Northrup. Dr. Northrup: Hello, everybody. I'm taking your phone calls live tonight, so call 866-677-2496. That's 866-OPRAH-XM. Call with all of your questions. So let's get started. First up, Sylvia is joining us from Agoura Hills, California. Hi, Sylvia. What's your question? Sylvia: Hi, Dr. Northrup. Dr. Northrup: Hi. Sylvia Hi. I'm years old 53. I went to menopause in 2001. All my friends have menopause symptoms except me. I've always maintained a good diet, and I never gained a lot of weight, so I was wondering, is this normal? Dr. Northrup: This is ideal, Sylvia. Thank you so much for calling. You set the tone for the whole evening. You are one of those people who sailed through menopause and perimenopause because your diet is good, your exercise is good, your adrenals are good and you've taken good care of yourself. So congratulations. You are super normal. Sylvia Oh, thank you. Dr. Northrup: Okay, good. You don't need to worry. No truck is going to run you over that's named menopause.
