Janet brings her intuitive approach and decades of experience to conversations with guests who have reinvented themselves, thought leaders exploring the intersection of spirituality and business, and experts navigating our new era of constant change. Together, we explore what it means to stop following and start creating a future that aligns with your soul.

“Stop using the scale as a measure of your health. It's what we were taught to do. [...] But it's really, really wrong. We are more than just that number. And it's a very poor indicator of chronic health.”
You may have seen today's guest on Tik Tok, Instagram, or YouTube because she's a sensation on social media. She's an OB/GYN who specializes in treating menopausal and perimenopausal women. I'm thrilled to have Dr. Mary Claire Haver on the show today.
When we are seeking to maximize our performance, why don’t we have real conversations about physical health and changes? As hormonal shifts happen to women’s bodies beginning as early as their mid 30’s, there is a real impact on health, body weight, and overall well-being. Yet the topic of this perimenopausal and ultimately menopausal stage that may last decades is often ignored when we talk about women and health.
So why am I talking about this on a leadership podcast? I facilitate women's executive networking sessions and this topic keeps coming up as a taboo subject that the women leaders in these groups want to talk about. It impacts health & well-being. It's affecting how women show up as leaders. And it's affecting how we feel about ourselves. So let's talk about it today.
In this episode:
- Why 40+ women are experiencing weight gain
- What’s perimenopause? And what’s menopause?
- The difference between men and women as we age
- Dr. Haver’s top tip: make sure you are getting enough fiber in your diet
- What to do about sugar and processed foods as we age as women
- And more!
