Hot Flashes and Cool Conversation: Navigating Menopausal Hijinks with Dr. Mary Claire Haver MD

Original Air Date Wednesday, May 15, 2024.

Scientific understanding of the hormonal changes women undergo during menopause is limited. Historically, women were excluded from major health studies before 1996 due to the belief that their fluctuating hormone levels were too complex to study. Today, women are changing the game by conducting their own research.

To better understand how women can improve their quality of life during the aging process, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with a menopause expert, Dr. Mary Claire Haver. Dr. Haver is a certified OB/GYN, author, and founder of The Galveston Diet and Mary Claire Wellness Clinic.

Dr. Haver offers guidance about how women can navigate menopause and aging. She shares the top complaints of women who experience menopausal symptoms, and the impact nutrition can have on managing those symptoms through her menopause toolkit and books, The New Menopause: Navigating Your Path Through Hormonal Change with Purpose, Power, and Facts and The Galveston Diet: The Doctor-Developed, Patient-Proven Plan to Burn Fat and Tame Your Hormonal Symptoms.
