Today, we welcome Dr. Mary Claire Haver, who delves into the critical and often overlooked topic of menopause. Dr. Haver discusses the alarming lack of education and training around menopause, highlighting that most OBGYN training programs include only a few hours on the subject. She shares her personal journey of going through menopause and realizing how much more comprehensive the education and treatment should be. Dr. Haver outlines the multifaceted impact of menopause on women’s health, including physical, emotional, and mental health aspects. She emphasizes the importance of nutrition, sleep, stress reduction, movement, and appropriate medical interventions to navigate this phase of life healthily and proactively.

"I realized that menopause is much bigger than what we were taught—it's not just the end of periods, but a major life transition that affects heart, brain, bones, immunity, and mental health."  

And now let’s jump into episode 1641 of The School of Greatness!
