Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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, Dr. Haver 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 and mid-life weight gain that she realized this advice doesn’t work and ultimately led to her creating and developing a new program, The Galveston Diet.

The Galveston Diet is the first and only nutrition program in the world created by a Female OBGYN, designed for women in menopause. The Galveston Diet helps women reach their health and wellness goals through an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition. Dr. Haver believes in the power of nutrition to combat inflammation and highly recommends the unlimited benefits of intermittent fasting. As part of her ongoing research, she became certified in Culinary Medicine in 2019, which specializes in medical nutrition.

Dr. Haver is married to her husband, Christopher Haver, since 1996. They are raising their two daughters, Katherine and Madeline, the loves of their lives.

Omg, everyone over the age of 20 needs to read this book
If you can’t afford the book, please follow Mary Claire Haver on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, wherever you can find her. Because she has more knowledge and information about menopause and perimenopause than any gynecologist I have ever seen in the last 30 years. I learned more from this woman in two weeks that I should’ve been told literally when I became a teenager. By the way, if you reach out to her, you can actually get an appointment with her because she still practicing in Austin Texas. And she does see new patients occasionally. This book is amazing. Buy it if you can, but if you can’t be sure you follow her on social media because She is amazing and a godsend to my life. Also, she’s just a wonderful human being. Overall, he’s going through her own challenges and heartbreaking situations. We all need someone like her in our life.

    I am forever grateful for this book and Dr. Haver’s advocacy for women’s health. I feel empowered, justified, and understood. I am dumbfounded that I have seen so many doctors and natural practitioners (naturopathic doctor, chiropractor, physical therapist), and NONE of them suggested that my many symptoms could be related to menopause! I am now a few months into my journey on BHRT and most of Dr. Haver’s suggestions, and I am noticing big and small improvements. I am also looking forward to the long term protection and prevention of my brain, bones, and heart. This revalationary information gives me healing, confidence, and hope about my long term health.

    Grateful for those that are pursuing to educate and pass along current knowledge/researcch about the changes that affect 100% of women! This is the first educational book that I have read where I read cover to cover and plan to reread and highlight specifics that I want to refer back to on regular basis. I used the information in preparation for my own MD appointments and that was a game changer in the communication during my appointments! After seeing two providers that were supposedly menopause specialists yet walking away not feeling heard, I have finally been able to have a conversation, feel heard, and provided appropriate treatment.

    Dr Haver’s book has been so reassuring and informative as I continue to navigate my own menopause journey. I highly recommend it to all women, really regardless of age since I wish I’d have read it much sooner. More than just a one-time read, I’m finding it a great resource for all the questions that come up. I appreciate her no-nonsense approach and the fact that she backs her facts with scientific truth mixed with an appropriate level of compassion. Thank you, Dr Haver, for speaking up about such an important topic!

  • Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024
    This book has great information on HRT options for women in menopause, which I really appreciated. Not enough doctors know how to treat women who are suffering through menopause, so this book is an important tool for many women out there who have not found help through the conventional medical approach to menopause. I congratulate the author for her wonderful work, and for bringing this information to light.

    That said - she lost a bit of credibility in my eyes when she stated that things like subclinical hypothyroidism is rare, as are vitamin deficiencies, and that functional medicine doctors only treat women for things like toxins and infections to balance their hormones. Well, the truth is, hormone imbalances are due to toxins and infections, as well as menopause.

    And, Hypothyroidism is not rare, it's extremely common and it contributes to symptoms of menopause. So detoxifying the body and treating hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue (since the adrenals take over hormone production when the ovaries stop producing hormones) - are integral components of recovery in my mind. Along with hormone replacement therapy, of course.

    I've authored, co-authored, or ghostwritten over 20 medical books, and I feel that a bit more of a comprehensive approach than what is mentioned in this book is warranted, such as attention to the hormones that are not directly involved in menopause, but which can influence menopausal symptoms (by the way, thyroid labs are inaccurate much of the time because they don't reveal what the cells are using, only what's in the blood). A few herbs or an anti-depressant are not the best solutions for depression and anxiety, and eating a diet containing whole grains will not help you to lose weight.

    Still, the author's information on sex hormone replacement is very good, but I feel that she needs to understand other aspects of integrative and functional medicine better - such as the relationship between adrenal steroid and thyroid hormones and menopause, and other things that are making people's hormones imbalanced these days - before making claims that vitamin deficiencies are rare or that detoxification doesn't help the body to heal. It makes me wonder if she has been influenced by Big Pharma, which rejects anything alternative in medicine, or her publisher (as my experience has been that large publishers are afraid to publish anything that goes against the conventional medical establishment's agenda).

    In nations where environmental toxicity is not so much of a problem, menopausal symptoms are rare. So removing toxins is important as well, because toxins block and damage hormone receptors on cells, skew hormone production, and cause inflammation that affects hormones, among many other things.

    This book should be required reading for all women, any doctor that treats women over age 30, and all medical school students. It's so well written that it appropriate for all of those audiences. It validates what women have been saying for years and it prepares us for what will hopefully be the BEST third of our lives. Dr. Mary Claire Haver brings presents vital information in the best possible blend on relatability, SCIENCE, optimism, and actionable steps that make this book the essential tool for a better quality of life and an increased HEALTHspan. As Dr. Haver says, menopause is inevitable. Suffering is not!

    I had no idea how ignored and undervalued the process of menopause had been until I read this book. Menopause is more all-encompassing than I knew and I had begun to surrender to a painful and emotional new normal when in fact it was all very common to other women! The New Menopause broke down the prison wall and provided clear, evidence-based research and results that led to a greater understanding of my body and the changes that I was experiencing. I have renewed hope in restoring a full life with eyes wide open. Thank you Mary Claire Haver for bringing a sledgehammer to the wall of misinformation!
