Dr. Mary Claire Haver shifted her career from traditional OB/GYN practices to focusing specifically on menopausal care after her own challenging experiences during menopause. Dr. Haver was tired of being told that weight gain, fatigue, and other clichéd menopausal symptoms were the norm for women of a certain age. She used her frustrations as motivation to dive deeper into menopausal research. Since then, Dr. Haver has dedicated her career to combating generic menopause care. She opened Mary Claire Wellness, a clinic dedicated to caring for menopausal patients, wrote two national best-selling books providing women with a toolkit of lifestyle plans and information they need to navigate hormonal changes, and shares her wealth of knowledge on her growing social media platforms, which have now amassed more than 3 million followers. In today's episode Dr. Haver talks through her toolkit and debunks the most common misconceptions around menopause.
