I have not heard of Dr. Christiana Northrup before today, and from a Google search it appears that she is excellent at producing and selling books.

Some of the things she says though sound very odd from the mouth of a qualified doctor, e.g. "Estrogen...tends to irritate the nervous system. Progesterone, on the other hand, is associated with tranquility" (apparently from the book referred to earlier in this thread, and quotred in nutri-notes)

Theer are others who are not such fans of Dr. Northrup: A Question of Accountability (my ordeal as a patient of Dr. Christiane Northrup MD)

I have no axe to grind here, but since I have never seen in any other source that oestrogen is produced by the uterus, I would tend to disbelieve this unless I had information from elsewhere to back it up.
