Her free monthly eNewsletter is also worth the read. She usually focuses on a single issue, providing practical, take-action advice, as with this month's topic, weight loss and metabolism. Go to http://www.drnorthrup.com/free_eletter.php
Just read Dr Northrup's article on weight loss. She has a 6 week program which seems to hover around reminding yourself daily that you love yourself, pamper yourself and encourage yourself to take small steps in this direction. On the other hand, Dr Mehmet Oz and Dr Michael Roizen seem to have another focus on weight loss. In fact, its not weight loss that is as important as visceral fat loss(tummy fat) and say that a woman should not have a waist circumference over 31.5" and a man should be 35" or under. Anything beyond these numbers is a health threat and likened it to cancer or heart attack risk. Dr Northrup's parameters are much less stringent than those of Dr Oz, Dr Roizen or mine.
i looked in the mirror twice a day, for a month. each time, always while taking out or putting in contact lens. I would look at my reflection and say "you got a pair of eyes on you, man" after a month, my eyes were very vain!
I went to Dr. Northrup's website and discovered (by comparing some of the photos there) that she has had a facelift! So much for her own self-acceptance. I was disappointed in her. Sierra
So claiming that looking into the mirror while mouthing Stuart Smalley-level bullplop will fix all your problems counts as "sensible advice"?
