About this episode
No matter which stage of menopause you’re in, you are not going to want to miss this episode…in fact you might want to listen to it more than once. My guest on this episode, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, might be my new soul sister. She’s the author of The Galveston Diet and a board certified OB-GYN who has devoted her adult life to women's health. When she began to experience the changes of menopause and midlife weight gain, she created her online program, The Galveston Diet—the first and only nutrition program in the world created by a female OB-GYN, designed for women in menopause. As part of her ongoing research, she became certified in Culinary Medicine in 2019, specializing in medical nutrition, and opened Mary Claire Wellness in 2021. If you’ve struggled with menopausal weight gain, tried all the diet plans and exercise routines, and become frustrated with the lack of support around women’s health, then listen up! We’re unpacking what’s really going on in menopause, the types of fat we carry and how they affect our health, the foods that can reduce belly fat, the pros and cons of hormone-replacement therapy, and more! Stay tuned until the end to hear a stunning success story, learn how you can get a copy of Dr. Haver’s new book, and score your free bonuses.
