Episode 64: The Proven Method for Weight Loss During Menopause with Dr. Mary Claire Haver

This time on Shamelessly Feminine, Jen is talking to Dr. Mary Claire Haver, an OB-GYN in Texas. As her patient population aged, she 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, too, experienced the changes of menopause that she realized this advice doesn’t work. In this episode, she’s telling us all about how her studies of aging and nutrition caused her to develop the Galveston Diet, the first and only nutrition program in the world created by a female OB-GYN – this is no junk science. The Galveston Diet is dedicated to helping women reach their health and wellness goals through an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition, and once you hear this interview, you will definitely want to check out the program!

Key Quotes from the Episode:

“It’s simple nutritional changes, loading up on on behavior and practices that decrease inflammation and doing away with those that add inflammation.”

“So I practiced on myself and literally that 20 pounds [that I gained] melted off. Not only that, I was sleeping better. My brain fog was better. I was working out better. My joints felt better. I mean, all of the non-scaled benefits were so much better.”

“My residency was jam packed and prevention just falls at the wayside. It’s like, ‘That’s common knowledge. People should just understand that inherently,’ and they actually don’t. So many things in the industry are working against us for that.”
