004 | How To Reclaim Your Power Over Weight Gain | Interview with Dr. Mary Claire Haver
Hey Warriors!
In this episode, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, Board certified OBGYN and creator of The Galveston Diet tells us how she unlocked the secret to combating middle-age weight gain through her own life struggles. When Dr. Haver was experiencing the weight gain associated with menopause she decided that the solutions available were unacceptable and she had to discover another, more effective way! The Galveston Diet has helped thousands of women who battle weight gain to due to menopause but certainly translates to anyone experiencing battles with their weight.
Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a wife, mom, physician, and entrepreneur who has devoted her adult life to women’s health. As a Board Certified OBGYN in the Houston area, Dr. Haver has delivered thousands of babies, completed thousands of well-woman exams, counseled patients, taught residents and did everything an academic professor and OBGYN could do. 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.
Dr. Mary Claire Haver is the founder and creator of The Galveston Diet, the first and only nutrition program in the world created by a Female OBGYN, designed for women in menopause. The Galveston Diet is dedicated to helping women reach their health and wellness goals through an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition. In an effort to learn as much as she could about medical nutrition, she became certified in Culinary Medicine in 2019.
She has been married to her husband, Christopher Haver since 1996 and they are raising two teenage girls, the loves of their lives.
