Unraveling Menopause: The Untold Truths with Dr. Mary Claire Haver
Description
In this episode, Caroline chats with board-certified OB-GYN and bestselling author Dr. Mary Claire Haver about why menopause and perimenopause are often misunderstood and under-taught in medicine, and why “just getting older” is not an acceptable diagnosis. Dr. Haver shares how she shifted from university medicine into opening a menopause clinic after COVID, and explains that menopause is a whole-body event with estrogen receptors throughout the body, affecting sleep, mood, brain fog, palpitations, vertigo, skin, and more. She breaks down the stages of perimenopause and menopause, describing hormone “chaos” as eggs decline, and stresses prioritizing sleep, resistance training, protein, fiber, and reducing processed foods and sugar to fight inflammation and prevent frailty. They discuss careful, monitored use of GLP-1s, skepticism about unregulated peptides/NAD, Dr. Haver’s own hormone regimen, and where to find menopause care. If you or someone you know is in the age of menopause, pre, during and post, this episode is for you!
