Not just hot flashes, night sweats, and what HRT may or may not do for you, but how our sex differs in disease and how we need to treat women differently." - Dr. Mary Claire Haver Dr. Mary Claire Haver shines a light on the alarming gaps in women's healthcare, particularly during menopause. With shocking revelations about how medical research has historically excluded women—legally until 1993—she exposes why treatments like statins are prescribed to menopausal women despite no evidence they reduce heart attack risk in female patients. As a physician who received just one hour of menopause training in medical school, Dr. Haver's advocacy through The Meno Posse fights for legislative changes and proper medical education about women's unique health needs. The conversation explores how menopause dramatically increases cardiovascular disease risk by 50% compared to premenopausal women of the same age, with estrogen playing a crucial protective role for heart vessels. Dr. Haver challenges the medical system's approach of treating women as "little men with breasts and a uterus" rather than recognizing fundamental biological differences in disease presentation and treatment requirements. Her insights reveal why hormone replacement therapy started early enough can cut cardiovascular disease risk by half each year.
