So many of us are programmed to believe that as we age, we automatically decline. Our strength, energy, fitness, eyesight, skin, memory, even our sex lives… the longer we live, the worse they all get, right? Absolutely not, says today’s podcast guest, Dr Christiane Northrup. Her decades of clinical practice and research have shown that ageing is NOT an inevitability. Rather, it’s a choice. And in today’s episode, she’s sharing her best tools and strategies to help you restore vitality, create radiance, and age like a total goddess.
Christiane Northrup, M.D., is a world renowned authority on women’s health and wellness. A board-certified OB/GYN physician, she has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, the Today Show and Good Morning America (among many others) and is a multiple New York Times best-selling author. Combining medical science with modern spirituality, Dr Northrup’s work has empowered millions of people around the globe to create wholehearted wellness, and in 2016, she was named one of Oprah Winfrey’s Super Soul 100 — a group of leaders who are using their voices to awaken humanity.
Within the first minute of meeting Dr Northrup, one thing is clear: this is an expert who truly practices what she preaches. (Seriously, guys: the woman is RADIANT and so incredibly kind.) Even better, she says we ALL possess this same ability to create epic health and youthful looks… no matter what stage of life we’re in.
So if you want to unlock the secrets of ageless living, start laying the groundwork for a vibrant future, and unleash your inner goddess, this episode’s for you.

- Her story and how she got to where she is today (08:31)
- How to age like a goddess (13:58)

I am so glad you loved it so much Priya. What were your biggest takeaways?
Totally appreciate however, what are the thoughts regarding surgical menopause bilateral ooperectomy-
This has been more than a challenge…
Hey Jillian, thank you so much for your question. I am not the expert here so won’t be able to comment but the best thing to do is email Christiane with your inquiry and she will be able to guide you better than I can. Sorry, I can’t be of more help. xx
Hey Jillian, I just had a response back from Dr Northrup, she said she has a huge section on surgical menopause in her book ‘The Wisdom of Menopause’. Everything you needs to know is in there. I hope that helps honey. xx
Hi Melissa
I’m fairly new to your delightful & informative podcast and guests!
I’m 60 years young & view the rewards & seniors cards a little differently! I view my rewards as loyalty to a particular place, for their great products/ service. The seniors card which I haven’t one as yet but, will gladly take, not because I’m sending a message to the universe that I am unable to afford something, It’s because I think the universe is rewarding me for my life in the workplace! I hope that makes sense.
Great work.
Leah
Totally makes senseLeah. What a great out look you have. xx
I have been following Dr Northrup for years now and always find her to be entertaining and full of wisdom. Thank you for the podcast.
She sure is. I adore her. xx
Thank you Melissa and Christiane. I’m dealing with a very painful frozen shoulder at the moment myself so your comments on your experience was particularly enlightening. I was wandering if you tried acupuncture or any other therapies that might work for me as painkillers and anti-inflammatories really don’t cut it. Love listening to your work guys thank you x
Hey Victoria, I don’t know about acupuncture for frozen shoulder, but it has been great for me when I used to get a sore lower back and neck. Let me know how you go. xx

I have listened to your podcast since you started (it starting coincided almost exactly with a very testing time in my life) and it has been a god send- often when I find myself ‘slipping’ or being too affected by all the outside negativity that has resulted, from this I realise that I also haven’t been listening to yours or Nick’s podcasts- so I’m def a long time supporter, and rarely do I get very little from an episode.
Today, I’m baking a wedding cake and listening- catching up a few as I have slipped behind, and although Im recommending you to people ALL THE TIME, today is the first time I have felt I just HAD TO to get onto your website so that I can source more info on your wonderful guest. Once she started talking about negative people and narcissistic supply I broke down, I was weeping on my kitchen floor; she was completely explaining my life, my battles and what I am dealing with, I felt, like for the first time in… well most strongly in the last 18 months, but also the last 15 years that someone was speaking what I wanted to be able to explain, how I was feeling and being treated. That there was hope out there, that maybe there was just one other person who could have my back and I would know that they knew, that they would be able to see past the facade that is put up by the other person and what everyone else believes. When she goes on to talk about the super woman- and those woman getting sick… that…. is me, I was diagnosed with lupus 7 years ago, since he has been gone every appointment with my specialist she remarks “wow, your bloods are getting better and better, they are now the best I have ever seen them”- whilst I had previously thought to myself “maybe He gave me lupus” I never would have said it out loud until today…
Unfortunately, I can’t just cut him out, I limit as much as possible but still, no matter how removed I make myself he still has control over my life. At the moment I am really struggling to stay strong in myself and am feeling broken and exhausted. Im fighting the biggest battle against it yet and trying to focus on the end goal. I am positive that this podcast was specifically sent to me today, at that exact time because it was exactly what I needed, and I thank you. Thank you xo
Hey Kendall, thank you so much for sharing that and know that I got your back. I am so glad this podcast deeply resonated with you and grateful you shared this with me. Keep going sister, you got this. xx
This episode just made my day! I can’t wait to listen to it again…. so full of information and very eye opening. It made me feel so good and ready to take on challenges. Thanks for finding such uplifting people ❤️
