- 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.

Based on the information you have given us, I have started low dosing testosterone under my GYN's guidance. Within two nights I was sleeping well and waking up alert, ready to start my day. No brain fog. So glad you are here, Dr. Haver!

@penny-by3yk 4 месяца назад

How much low?

@brightwithspirit Месяц назад

Yes what is considered low? I started 1mg trouche 2 days ago and I also wake up alert which is so nice.

@brightwithspirit Месяц назад

@MeidasTori ok so first 2 days felt so great! Next 2 days felt like I had a harsh drug hangover. Not sure if it's the estrogen or testosterone doing it to me. This is all so confusing.

@cristalclark6577 2 месяца назад

I do injections.. starting on a low dose. I was about to do pellets, BUT my friend advised me not to since you cannot take it out once it’s in AND it may take awhile for it to leave the body causing over the roof levels. I inject myself. 👋🏼

@cm1906 10 месяцев назад

Dear Dr Haver, would you please make a video (or blog post) about the basics of testosterone in women’s bodies? I have learned from other evidence based sources that in our younger years/decades we actually produce 3-4 times more testosterone than estrogen! We also have testosterone receptors all over our bodies, including in several areas of the brain, on our bones, etc. What does this mean for post-menopause when our testosterone levels are greatly reduced? Has the medical community established a “normal” healthy range for testosterone in females that ensures healthy functioning of the body as well as helps with disease prevention? It seems that keeping our T level within a normal/healthy premenopausal range while also factoring in how a woman feels might not be associated with adverse health effects.

@lindapleasants1142 2 месяца назад

@cm1906 - go take a look at Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith. She explains a lot about Testosterone therapy in women and the need for it, in many cases! Also, Dr. Rebecca Glaser has done amazing research on testosterone therapy in women. Frankly, I think it is ridiculous that doctors only prescribe it in cases of ‘sexual dysfunction’; it helped me TREMENDOUSLY with brain fog, gaining muscle mass/losing body fat, strength, endurance, and libido. I’m sure all of the ‘behind the scenes’ things it is doing, like protecting my brain, breast, bone and heart health is happening as well. I’m disappointed that Dr. Haver seems hesitant to use it with most menopausal women.

@lorysipel6823 Месяц назад

I'm interested in that too and what's the best way to take T - cream, pellet, shot, patch?

@Live_WildMT Месяц назад

I am interested also!

@reneewhittinghill3440 27 дней назад

Normal blood levels for Testosterone in women is 35-50 ng/dL One lab report she showed in her Testosterone Overdose video had a reference range of 2-45 ng/dL but the woman had a level of 270 ng/dL bc was overdosed on pellets. They seem harder to control. I would go with compounded topical bioidentical Testosterone bc you can stop it if the levels get too high!

@foxInGloves 19 дней назад

They take very high doses and end up losing feminine features. It's not something many women would want.. But they weight train 5-6 days per week with a goal to build muscle. Ask them about their messed up menstrual cycles. I'm absolutely certain you wouldn't want to go there unless your goal is specifically to build muscle and compete

@kijkwijzerful Год назад

Omgosh! I had a total hysterectomy due to endometriosis and was prescribed estrogen with testosterone and couldn't figure out why I was gaining belly fat! Consequently I went from a soprano to alto, got acne, and took myself off of this, went to my GP who prescribed my estrogen only. Starting to feel better. No acne, voice is improving but have to work on the extra fluff now. Your videos are helpful. Subscribing!

Could this be women with PCOS? I’d be curious how high the levels of testosterone were. And whether the women had other conditions.

@ofshadowsandsecrets 11 месяцев назад

I’m going to my OB to talk to them about my hormones in a few weeks. This is exactly what I want to talk to him about since I had a radical hysterectomy a little over a year ago. I’m afraid I have too much testosterone and not enough estrogen because I can’t lose weight to save my life.

@SusanDeneeKnowYourCrazy Год назад

I have been taking bio DHEA for a little bit under a year. Curious with menopause is there such a thing to take DHEA to then get back to a somewhat ““ normal baseline of hormone levels? also, what if you are taking the Dutch test twice a year to measure your levels?

@michellegay2029 6 месяцев назад

@stephanienewton6618 6 месяцев назад

I’m wondering if it causes belly fat in those who are not working out to gain muscle. So they gain fat instead of muscle? That makes most sense to me. Would be like a gym bro using steroids and not working out?

@arizonasierra 3 месяца назад

Most competing women doing bikini and bodybuilding contests seem to be taking small doses from what ive heard. If it was causing fat, im sure they wouldnt be taking.

@rachurleyco Год назад

So taking DHEA causes weight gain in women?

@Jen.E Год назад

Not sure either. 🤔

@haylslouise8428 Год назад

Yes it does along with hair loss and acne.

@stephanienewton6618 6 месяцев назад

Maybe if you take too much? My guess is if you just take enough to pull yourself out of what feels like adrenal failure, maybe it’s not enough to cause weight gain? I use a very small amount. Not long enough to see weight changes either way

@jujuba9277 6 месяцев назад

Não necessariamente. Eu tomo uma dose baixa. O exagero pode causar queda capilar e outras chatices. Mas na dosagem exata, pode ajudar contra a queda capilar ( também). Você precisa antes, testar seu nível de DHEA.

Sounds like if taking due to low.libido and.or very low levels is ok to reach normal, otherwise not advised?

@haylslouise8428 Год назад

What a lot of women don't understand is that estrogen plays the biggest role in our sex drive, not testosterone. Testosterone increases sexual thoughts and fantasies, whereas estrogen makes us feel sexy and seductive. It drives us to attract a mate. blood flows to our lady bits and we get wet which turns us on even more! Our bodies need estrogen for a healthy libido, NOT testosterone.

@reneewhittinghill3440 27 дней назад

Bingo! Normal range is the key 🔑 for women's Testosterone range is 35-50 ng/ dL Hormones need to be balanced, not too much, not to little, but like Goldilocks just right! 😅

@mikaylastrong7622 18 дней назад

What can i do about my high levels of testosterone? Im 55, menopause at 46, no hormones have ever even been discussed with me. Currently dealing with sudden onset resistant hypertension (since October, on 3 meds, highest doses, very little change), 60 lbs lost without trying (before that weight wouldnt budge), abdominal CT, colonoscopy, mammogram, pap, no cancer. Could the high T be a symptom, a cause, or both? They aren't bothered at all by it.
