About the authors

Mary Claire Haver

Mary Claire Haver

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.

I am in awe of this book and the information you provided. I also listened to the podcast you were recently on as well. I am so obsessed with learning about menopause after my personal journey and listening to yours and those of others. I am reading everything I can get my hands on (journals, books, articles, websites, etc) including the homeopathic side of things, just so that I have clarity with all of the information that is out there. I have been on MHT for about 3 years now and am still working with my gyn to figure out dosing. Like menopause as a whole, everytime you think you figured something out, you haven't completely. I am trying to find a way to further my studies and somehow become more involved in women's health. An athletic trainer for over 30 years, I am not sure I have the capacity to go to nursing school at this point in my life, but want to help others in their journey, somehow and I will find a way to make that happen. Thank you so much....I pre-ordered your book and the wait was so worth it. I am planning on telling my gyn about it!

I have been IN IT with perimenopause for about a year and Dr. Haver has been a GODSEND for information about how I can best approach my own health. I read her Galveston Diet book and I'm adjusting to the eating plan slowly. So I knew that I was going to like her writing style. To the point, full of references for further reading and high on the expertise.

Thank you for this amazing resource!!!
