Summary: Dr Christiane Northrup is the author of the New York Times bestselling book The Wisdom of Menopause, which was first published in 2012, has gone on to sell more than 1.6 million copies, revised and updated for the fourth time in 2021.In her 30-year-career as a board certified OB/GYN, Dr Northrup focused on empowerment, on accepting that mainstream medicine has a role, and that the natural world does as well. And it was that approach that drew in none other than Oprah Winfrey, who reached out when menopause threw her for a loop. Since giving up her medical license, and particularly since Covid hit, Dr Northrup has become a vocal advocate for informed consent and medical freedom. And that makes her an anti-vaxxer and a controversial figure that many people believe should be silenced..
