- About Dr. Mary Claire Haver and The Galveston Diet -
Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a passionate women’s health advocate who believes women in midlife deserve to live their best life. She cuts through fat-shaming and fads, so women are empowered with the science behind anti-inflammation nutrition.
Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a wife, mom, physician, and entrepreneur who has devoted her adult life to women’s health. As a Board-Certified OBGYN in the Houston area, Dr. Haver has delivered thousands of babies, completed thousands of well-woman exams, counseled patients, taught residents, and did everything an academic professor and OBGYN could do.
As her patient population aged, Dr. Haver was overwhelmed with the number of complaints and concerns her patients had with weight gain while going through menopause. For years, she told her patients to eat less and exercise more. It wasn't until she experienced the changes of menopause and mid-life weight gain that she realized this advice doesn't work and ultimately led to her creating and developing a new program, The Galveston Diet.
The Galveston Diet is the first and only nutrition program created by a Female OBGYN, designed for women in menopause. The Galveston Diet helps women reach their health and wellness goals through an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition. Dr. Haver believes in food's power to combat inflammation and highly recommends the unlimited benefits of intermittent fasting. As part of her ongoing research, she became certified in Culinary Medicine in 2019, specializing in medical nutrition.

It's so baffling why insurance won't cover menopause healthcare needs. If there's anything we women can do, we should band together and insist we are taking care of medically and holistically during our whole lifetime. Medical doctors say they don't know what the right numbers should be if hormones are checked, so everything is costly and is paid out of pocket. Married men who care about sex would join in with us to make the coverage happen if we needed to vote on it. It's so odd what won't get covered by health insurance.

@gailkshaw 11 месяцев назад

@di4085 11 месяцев назад

Wow you said it. We are left out with most things. Studies mostly done on men and everything we use from car seats to furniture is designed for men's physique. Let alone our physical care from periods to babies to perimenopause and then the dreaded full menopause which sucks so bad. It's only the past 15 yrs that more women's studies are being done. Way to late for my mother and grandmothers generation and us boomers.

Greatest regret of my life was having a full hysterectomy at 35. I had a OB/GYN who loved to do surgeries because it made him a lot of money. I found out later he was known for pushing hysterectomies on women instead of discussing things like diet and exercise for PCOS. My weight has been a struggle ever since, even while on HRT. Also, I love when everyone says “sleep is imperative” and yet I wake up in the middle of the night and cannot go back to sleep. What am I supposed to do, take sleeping pills every single night?

He is another one: if you have extra weight to lose DO IT NOW!! When period stops something odd happens no one tells you about. The extra fat you have suddenly gets soft. It is very weird; probably has to do with no more estrogen being stored in those lipid cells- but seriously, my extra cushion was always “firm” and became quite flaccid when my menses ended. Doc, maybe you can speak more on this. I know my body and this was a shocker for me! [ It’s not the skin… it’s the fat under the skin that changes.] Truth.

@janeking4059 10 месяцев назад

Also when period stops ..it's coz u r at an OLDER age...OLDER AGE ...SLOWER METABOLISM...AND LACK OF EXERCISE...caused that flabbibess! Living that RIGHT NOW for the last almost 20 years...

Nutrition- not just anti inflammatory. But things to help minimize the affects of ‘the change’. If you can do it without pharmaceutical medicine kudos to you.✌️. It may not work for everyone coz we are all different chemically, but Eating tofu religiously at least 3 -4 times at week helps not have to use lube for a certain area. 10 yrs into the change, touch wood, that’s been the only most outwardly noticeable symptom and tofu is working. 👍🏼. Plus maybe a mostly plant based diet, now gluten free coz I’ve an intolerance to gluten and minimize alcohol intake coz that alone can really mess with your hormones 🫣. Stay strong stay healthy ladies. 🤘🏽
