About this episode
Dr. Mary Claire Haver discusses practical solutions for managing perimenopause and menopause symptoms.
Today, I am thrilled to reconnect with a previous guest, Dr. Mary Claire Haver. Dr. Haver is a board-certified OBGYN, a certified menopause provider, and the founder of Mary Claire Wellness, a private medical practice focusing on women in midlife. Her best-selling book, the Galveston Diet, and her latest New York Times best-seller, The New Menopause, are fabulous resources for middle-aged women.
