Dr. Christiane Northrup is a board certified OBGYN, a New York Times bestselling author, and a visionary pioneer in women’s health. She teaches women and men how to thrive at every stage of life and encourages them to create health on all levels by tuning into their inner wisdom.
Her latest book is Dodging Energy Vampires – An Empath’s Guide to Evading Relationships That Drain You and Restoring Your Health and Power.
This is the second interview in a two-part series of sorts focused on dysfunctional relationships and toxic stress, which can be profoundly destructive to mental, emotional and physical health.
Last week I talked with Stacey Martino about how to transform your relationships with others by changing yourself.
Today Dr. Christiane Northrup will help you understand how to identify Energy Vampires in your life, sociopaths, psychopaths, and extreme narcissists – people that you need to get away from – before they suck the life (and health) out of you.
You are going to glean so much wisdom and insight from Dr. Northrup. This interview is awesome. You can watch our interview below, or listen to it on the Chris Beat Cancer podcast on iTunes or Spotify. Enjoy!
