Optimal Menopause Nutrition, Exercise, Supplements, and Hormones with Dr. Mary Claire Haver

The Jen Marples Show

Dr. Mary Claire Haver, esteemed OB/GYN and the queen of menopause and menopause nutrition, is on today's podcast! She's breaking down her core recommendations for women in their menopause years (which can be half our lives!), including optimal nutrition, exercise, supplements, and hormones.

In sum, she's teaching us how to optimize our health to live long, healthy lives and stave off disease, instability, and bone loss. She's also helping us mitigate the many symptoms of menopause that can be debilitating and impact the quality of our lives.

This episode is the air mask we all need, ladies! If we don't take care of ourselves, our work suffers, we can't take care of others, and we certainly won't be living the best lives we possibly can!

Dr. Mary Claire Haver is board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and is a Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist from Tulane University. She is also a Certified Menopause Specialist through The Menopause Society. In 2021, she opened Mary Claire Wellness, a clinic dedicated to caring for menopausal patients. Her educational background and her own experience led Dr. Haver to develop the national bestselling book and online program, The Galveston Diet, a three-pronged lifestyle plan that encourages fuel refocusing, intermittent fasting, and anti-inflammatory nutrition to manage hormonal symptoms, stabilize weight, and revitalize the body as it ages to provide benefits that will last a lifetime. Dr. Haver's second book, The New Menopause, will be released in April 2024.

Dr. Mary Claire Haver and I discuss:

• Optimal nutrition during menopause and recommended servings of critical nutrients.
• Recommended supplementation to support menopause and building muscle.
• The risks and benefits of fasting and its effects on muscle loss and chronic disease.
• Exercise for longevity and muscle-building to stave off muscle loss and osteoporosis.
• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) options and protocols.
• Her new book, The New Menopause, which talks about the 70 symptoms of menopause, everything from frozen shoulder, tinnitus, vertigo, burning tongue, dry skin, vaginal atrophy, sexual dysfunction, hot flashes, and more. The book is about symptoms and solutions!

I hope you find this episode as valuable as I did! As with anything, please check with your doctor before you try anything new.
