<p><strong>What if much of what you think you know about maintaining health is wrong? </strong></p><p>What if your health could be radically improved through some simple commonsense changes?</p><p><strong><em>&nbsp;</em></strong></p><p><em>Dancing with the Rhythms of Life</em><strong><em> </em></strong>explores the rhythmic foundations that create <em>true</em> vitality and wellness. Distilled from over 40 years practicing alternative medicine as a mother, midwife and medical doctor, Dr. Marianne Rothschild dispels myths and provides wise, down-to-earth guidance for women from a truly holistic perspective. Speaking from the deep Feminine, this book provides keys to understanding the foundation needed for true health and well-being. It provides a holistic perspective on topics of keen interest to women, including Fatigue and Recovery, Menopause, Osteoporosis, Sexuality, and Aging.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dr. Rothschild is the personal physician we all wish we had. She is knowledgeable, she spends time with her patients, she takes them seriously, and she <em>listens</em> to them. The prescriptions that follow from these sessions may involve pills and lab tests. They also may include: herbs; essential oils; flower essences; diet; relaxation; homeopathy, nutritional supplements; movement; good sleep; good sex; lifestyle interventions; and much more. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p> A typical session in her words:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="color: black;">By the time my patients are sitting with me in my office, they have already traveled down winding country roads through vistas of gently rolling hills and walked the fifty yards of </span>gravel<span style="color: black;"> pathway through the garden to my office door. Many have told me how much they enjoy the experience of coming to my office. I am convinced that Mother Nature does a good deal of the healing before I ever even see them.</span></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="color: black;">Then we sit together. I ask them to tell me why they have come. And I am quiet and listen. I listen until they are complete. Some people have never been able to tell their whole story. After years of listening to patients tell their stories, I have learned that if I listen long enough and carefully enough, people will not only tell me what is going on but also what they need to get better.</span></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="color: black;">My listening is holistic, multifaceted. Peoples' lives are like tapestries, woven with many threads. I take in their stories, the feeling tones, their physical presence, and their past and current life situation. Together we look at the laboratory and other test data they have brought, their food journal, and any prescriptions or nutritional supplements they are taking. We often sit for several hours. Sometimes a certain alchemy of healing occurs when I sit together with my patients....</span></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="color: black;">At the end of our session, I provide my feedback regarding what I think may be going on and what approaches might be helpful. Then together, we decide what we are going to work on and our next steps. I tell my patient that we are now a team, and I commit to be part of their support network as we go forward.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>Dancing with the Rhythms of Life: A Holistic Doctor's Guide for Women</em> is as close as women can get to having this kind of compassionate, wise medical treatment for themselves without actually consulting a holistic doctor in person.
