#195 Aging is Normal, but Suffering is Optional: Take Control of Your Hormonal Health and Thrive in Your Golden Years with Dr. Mary Claire Haver: Rewriting the Menopause Narrative, Optimizing Female Hormonal Health & Maximizing Your Libido


Listen Later

My guest this week is OB/GYN Dr. Mary Claire Haver, the founder of the Galveston diet. Dr. Haver's mission is to help women improve their hormonal health, regardless of age or stage of life. During our conversation, we dive into the lifestyle practices and supplementation that can support women through menstrual cycles, perimenopause, and menopause. We also discuss the healthiest birth control solutions available. Dr. Haver created the Galveston Diet while navigating her own perimenopause, and it has helped countless women lose weight, maintain their energy levels, and avoid brain fog. Enjoy.


This episode is Part 1 of a two part series on hormonal health. Dr. Haver's expertise is in women's hormonal health through perimenopause and menopause. Part 2 is a discussion with Dr. Kyle Gillett more specific to male hormonal health.
