Well, I did. As the Flipping 50 podcast launches into the second 500 episodes, I am honored to be joined on this episode by Dr. Christiane Northrup. She is not only an articulate and intelligent woman who has insights few others do; she is funny. Behind the scenes I told her after the interview, interviewing her was like dinner and a show. And I\u2019m sure you too are going to love it. My Guest: Christiane Northrup, M.D., visionary pioneer in women\u2019s health, is a board-certified OB\/GYN with more than thirty years of clinical experience, former assistant clinical professor of OB\/GYN at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, and three-time New York Times bestselling author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, The Wisdom of Menopause(1994) and Goddesses Never Age. In 2013, Reader\u2019s Digest named Dr. Northrup one of the \u201c100 Most Trusted People in America.\u201d In 2016, she was named one of Oprah Winfrey\u2019s Super Soul 100, a group of leaders who are using their voices and talent to awaken humanity. And in 2020 & 2021, she was included in the Watkins Spiritual 100, a list of living people that make a unique and spiritual contribution on a global scale...
