- About Dr. Mary Claire Haver and The Galveston Diet -
Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a passionate women’s health advocate who believes women in midlife deserve to live their best life. She cuts through fat-shaming and fads, so women are empowered with the science behind anti-inflammation nutrition.
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 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 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 food's power 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, specializing in medical nutrition. - Věda a technologie
Thank you for saying you don’t use BELIEF, you use data, facts and science. Many people don’t seem to know the difference.
Your last comment about not prescribing meds based on your personal beliefs…means everything! ❤
I don't think she was actually asking for your personal belief, she was asking for your professional opinion.
She was just taking the opportunity to let people know how she comes to her conclusion.
Then she should have used a different word.
I think it’s the right word and it’s clarifying how she’s coming to the conclusion. Why do people think they have the right to tell others how to speak, what words they should use - according to who? How RUDE! People use the vocabulary they were raised with or taught by their parents caregivers teachers.., it’s not meant to offend any one personally. I on the other hand will just tell you to grow up and get the F over it.
That's what she answered you just like creating a problem.
I felt horrible on traditional Rx estrogen. I was not myself to say the least. Switched to bio identical and I was back in business! Yes, it's very expensive but I still need to work for 10 more years in a competitive field with people who are 15 to 20 years younger than me - so, it's worth it. Btw, these bio identical hormones help plump up my face and give my skin a rosy glow. No one ever guesses I'm 58!
Do u have to get prescription for Bioidentical
@@majeedmohamed9523 If you seek out a medical doctor (GP, Ob-gyn, Endocrinologist) who went on to get certified in bio-identical hormones (pellet therapy), you will get those pellets in the office. If you need anything else (for example, if they discover that your thyroid is low) they will write you a script or call in to your pharmacy. Try bodylogicMD to see if they have a certified doctor in your area.
Which do you use?
When you say bio identical, do you mean compounded or patch??
@lolasen1206 I'm referring to subcutaneous pellet therapy. One highly recommended and throughly vetted company is bodylogicmd. They are in most major cities. The doctors they employ are in good standing with current practices and are required to get certification for pellet therapy. You don't have to go with them but you could use their standards as a guide when researching other providers. Pellet therapy is VERY expensive. I wanted to stay in a highly competitive field, so to me it has been worth it. I earn enough to be able to budget for it. The best benefit is that my doctor (who I found through the above company) tests me for other things on a semi regular basis. He put me on better medicine for hypothyroidism and daily B12 shots after discovering that I had pernicious anemia. I get comprehensive care, not just hrt. There are other doctors and clinics that do this too - Nufemme rejuvenation clinics is one. Wishing you the best.
She wasn't asking about your personal beliefs. This was a great question with an incomplete response. Biest has many benefits in perimenopause as straight estradiol can bring on more side effects.
There is a new study out, estrodial does have more preventive outcomes like less likely strokes, heart attack. Etc
Bio identical progesterone saved me from suicide battled for almost a year till I begged my holistic medical dr at the time for bio identical progesterone as he didn’t use pharmaceuticals, at times he would if natural wasn’t working , but exactly 1-2 weeks after starting bio identical progesterone those thoughts left and haven’t returned…..years now and I don’t have a death wish….now I am starting bio identical estrogen and it is helping **** waiting on my pharmacy to compound it 3-4 business days*** forgot to ask my dr for more when he retired last November after 14 years almost with him, I was on off due to being financially tight , thankfully it is helping my SEVERE allergies 🤧……I have a VERYYYYY SHORT SPACE OF TIME TO GET MY health back on track. I may soon have to live on my own.
My hormones have been hell all my life due to a hereditary low progesterone problem and an underlying thyroid problem both parents had have thyroid problems. My health has been hell due to low thyroid and low progesterone.
Where do I get it do I have to get bioidentical do I have to get prescription for it
Please reply I am a single parent and it kills me please helpe
Can I ask your age right now and/or have are you in menopause?
@@majeedmohamed9523 Any compounding pharmacy has a pharmacist that understands hormones. Go talk to them.
It seems she was asking which scientific data do you believe to be accurate.
You obviously don’t understand science.
@@anitas5817 clearly, you don't either!
Plz answer the question
“after age 65 years, the use of estrogen monotherapy beyond age 65 years was associated with significant risk reductions in mortality (19% or adjusted hazards ratio, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.79-0.82), breast cancer (16%), lung cancer (13%), colorectal cancer (12%), congestive heart failure (CHF) (5%), venous thromboembolism (3%), atrial fibrillation (4%), acute myocardial infarction (11%), and dementia (2%). For the use of estrogen and progestogen combo-therapy, both E+ progestin and E+ progesterone were associated with increased risk of breast cancer by 10%-19%, but such risk can be mitigated using low dose of transdermal or vaginal E+ progestin.”
Where does this data come from?
Data, facts and science 🙏
Which should always be questioned by the way.
That’s why and how science advances. It’s by questioning, hypothesizing and collecting data to prove or disprove.
Science is not always right!
She did not answer the question...
Do you believe that estradiol has more benefits than bi-est or estriol alone? The only thing she made clear was nothing !! Lol
Oh
She did, she said there is no studies to prove it's safer or more effective....
So what is the answer?
"I don't use my personal beliefs... I use data facts and science." ❤️ It's great to hear you say that, it shouldn't need to be said (having watched you for a long time) yeah!
So glad I have rejected taking the Ethinylestradiol earlier in my life. Synthetic rubbish, another reason I hope women these days find reward in loving their bodies and learning better ways than the pill.
I so love you . Your knowledge , a friendly and a witty persona?
It was a great question 🙋🏻♀️. Thanks for explaining so well also.
No history of breast cancer on me or family history either but suffering from Menopausal symptoms ( pretty much all of them) did have some dense breast last few years want to get relief from symptoms via low dose patch had hysterectomy 4 years ago one ovary remaining but like I said daily symptoms worst is insomnia ( nothing is helping no Melatonin not even Benadryl) wake every 2 hours hot flashes too wondering if the low dose patch could be an option 🤷🏻♀️
To sorry to hear that…. I suffered the same thing… so I did a lot of research on HRT…. Google menopause Barbie… and I learned that HRT is the way to go… do your own research and make an appointment with a doctor who is on North American menopause society… hope that you will feel better soon
This is me exactly but I’m 61. I feel so much worse than when I was on HRT 😢 I’ll look up a dr!
What about estrogen for face dryness and saggy skin. Can you apply it to face?
My doctor started laughing when I asked her this question😒....she said nothing helps aging !
I already use Collagen & Tretinoin .05%. My Dr. just prescribed Estradiol 0.0375 1 patch 2x weekly. Let’s see what happens. I had a full hysterectomy at 42.
did you doctor tell you to take a break for a week from the patch? I still have my ovaries and was told to take a week off from the patch.
@@vstegall2000
@@vstegall2000 how do you like using the tretinoin?
Ok I'm very confused ya'll. Just tell me what to buy o er the counter. 61, no menopause symptoms, my body skin is dry, face semi dry. Weight is horrible i ha e so much after menopause that is the issue I have.
So basically im safe useing biodenticals hormones??
Don’t let the naysayers get under your skin and make you a defensive doctor like most of the male doctors. I appreciate your knowledge!
How do l live 4 years after menopause? So many things happening. Plz help
Well answered!
Very interesting! Thank you 🙏
Ok, but data, facts and science are debatable issues. Data can be manipulated; thus any "facts" derived from said data are, well, debatable. And science is a very broad category and is never "settled."
100%. Also, the FDA lost credibility in the last 4 years. I don’t care what they approve or not.
I'm still going to trust the latest data over the opinions of influencers who just want us to click their whatever.
Why did they stop the estrogen replacement therapy in the early 2000s that was never fully explained.
She has explained it . Just look through her videos.
If you have a cervix but no uterus, do you need progesterone or can you take estradiol alone?
Good question. My doctor only prescribed the estradiol. He said because I don’t have a uterus. There’s no need to prescribe progesterone.
I don’t have either but have ovaries. Extremely post menopausal. Dr prescribed both so one isn’t taken alone. She also said take DIM to utilize estrogen (2 functional drs & a pharmacist told me) plus waiting on testosterone to receive testosterone in small dose.
Boom goes the dynamite! 👍#data #facts #science

YES
Data facts & science
The problem is that the term”back by science “ is an overused term that a lot of people are starting to doubt . Natural medicine is looking safer and safer these days. Just saying.🤔🤷🏻♀️
This is why I will always use bio-identical. They aren’t that expensive anymore.
What level of estrogeon should try to remain at as you age. for example, if you are 35 and start having weird things start to come out of the blue , what should you then increase your estrogen to? to the levels it was when you were 29 or 30? and then how long do you then maintain that estrogeon level. ?
when you get bldwk back, it will always give you what "normal" estro is for your AGE. it doesn't matter that you are starting to have problems and trying to root out what is happening-dr will always say your labs are "normsl" for your AGE. rather than saying hey, lets boost your estrogeon 5 mg. with a patch. What is the dosage bump to see relief per your age-estro loss? (e.g., at 35 bump 5mg, at 40 bump 10mg. )
I have gained weight since being on estradiol, and I’ve only been on it for two weeks.
I just adore you❤
Thank you,Thank you, thank you for working so hard at one thing so you know exactly what to do in your profession❤And I don’t technically need one thing. Do you know what I mean😊
Thanks❤
I had been on estradiol before total hysterectomy and feel much better on pellets now which also include testosterone. But i can see where i don't need a pregnancy hormone with no uterus. I get conflicting opinions from Gyno and Internist on the bio identical HRT and both have solid science-based evidence. Just got to try to see what works best..
Even with a uterus you don’t need a pregnancy hormone - you’re not pregnant!
How do you feel about Estriol Face creams? Does it help with laxity and wrinkles? Would love to know your thoughts.
🌴🌺 So wise!!! Thank you ❤️
You are so welcome. Learn more at our blogs at www.galvestondiet.com
I was ALLERGIC to SYNTHETIC medroxyprogesterone!! this,stuff was TERRIBLE..I'm wanting to just try BIODENTICALS...but afraid of CANCERS ...biodenticals are SAFE?
IM ON nothing right now going nuts with hotflashes every sec...and sleep problems fatigue
@@donnitawilliams1602 get on bio identical estradiol patches & also you can insert utrogestan (bio identical progesterone soft caps) vaginally, up close to your cervix.
That way you don’t get sedative effect like we do oral progesterone.
@@missloveblunn5595 or just take the progesterone cap at night before bed.
So the answer is?
Dr.
please tell me what cream or ointment can be used for jock itch???
Have used organic products,only water, never soap
Is the patch better or the gel?
So is.compound safe? I'm confused? Please share.ty
My wife has a condition where the walls of her vagina have thinned, making it painful to have sex. Would an increase of estrogen help thicken the skin? She does not produce her own these days.
Yes. I have the same thing and I’m 28. I use this cream to help strengthen the skin.
Yes absolutely! I’m 55 and It has helped me tremendously!
@@lifewithcancer916 How did you convince your doctor to prescribe it?
@@4tun8nanetteI am a cancer survivor but it’s not breast cancer. I was stage 4 Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I’ve actually had 2 bone marrow transplants. My body rejected my last transplant donor which caused graft Vs host disease (rejection disease). It’s where your body starts attacking its self because it senses the foreign cells. Mine was very bad. Attacking my whole GI, esophagus, eyes, teeth, all my skin causing like 3rd degree burns. it also caused all my connective tissue, joints and muscle to all turn hard like stone leaving me unable to move at all. I laid in bed like a piece of stone for 5yrs. Dr’s said I would never get out of bed again but one miraculous day I notice I could wiggle a toe and now slowly little by little over 8yrs I’m now able to get out of bed and walk with a walker. Due to chemo & transplants it does a number on the female organs. Also my graft vs host disease because it attacking my skin it attacked that skin there as well leaving it very very atrophied, dry and painful. I went through menopause very early at age 38 due to everything. I wasn’t on any hormones for awhile but after so many years I started really having issues so they put me on hormone replacement and the topical estradiol cream. It’s all help me so much. Most doctors are prescribing it unless your a specific breast cancer patient and they think it’s not good. It’s helped all my female areas so much and then also taking oral has made me feel normal again and all my skin is not so dry and lacking life. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer the best I can. God Bless
Topical estrogen cream helped with this for me as well
My doctor prescribed tribella…. Any advice?
What is meant by “traditional FDA prescription?”
That's the stuff insurance will usually cover. But since learning how much big pharma controls the FDA now, I have much less confidence in the FDA approvals. When I first learned how to evaluate medical research, checking who funds the study was one of the major factors for credibility. It's harder to sift through the data now with conflicting data.
Do you know why the patch only works on my left side and not my right?
I have a question . What is the difference between evamist estradiol and the estradiol patch .
im not post menopause but i am late peri-can i still use vag estrogen?
I have been using Ovestin since 45 and still on it close to 54 but not menopause yet.It helps with vaginitis redness etc also helps with uti.Anything that helps inflammation down there is a blessing.😊I'm with a Mirena I have been celibate over 5 years so don't miss it anyway.
If I knew what I know now I would have most definitely started vaginal estrogen cream in perimenopause or at the least the very start of noticed issues with painful sex.
I’m 53 years old and have a thrombosis (don’t have a clotting issue) that is not believed to cause any threat to my life if I take estrogen. I take progesterone alone and I would like to add estrogen. What type would you recommend?
Can you do a segment on estriol or some kind of plant-based estrogen as face cream to help with anti-aging , collagen production? Maybe you could offer a custom cream product as part of your product line
Dr. Haver has done this as part of her skincare routine videos. She gets her estriol based face cream from Alloy it is called M4.

My ins doesn’t want to pay for my progesterone! What to do?
My doctor prescribed the Climara patch
It’s been 1 week and all of a sudden have terrible cystic acne !!!!! Any advice or recommendations????? I had to beg my doctor for HRT I didn’t think I would have this reaction 🤦🏼♀️
Sorry, so is the estrodial patch ok? That is what my gyn prescribed with progesterone
Is the ethinyl estradiol in birth control as good as just estradiol? In terms of helping with perimenopause symptoms or even with menopause symptoms since you can take birth control until age 55?
I’m interested in this question as well. I’m in perimenopause and my gynaecologist recommended a low dose birth control pill rather than estradiol patches. I don’t need contraception, I just want to address my perimenopause symptoms
I had wonderful results with estring for vaginal dryness. Once I went on Medicare this past summer I can no longer use a manufacturers coupon. There seems to be no support now that I'm on Medicare. Any suggestions?
Try Good Rx
Love this!! Awesome answer. Bi-eat did NOTHING to help- I have it 3 weeks and then asked for the patch and a compounded progesterone capsule. SO MUCH BETTER
Hi...wht works best in biodenticals?? ya use wht for ya menopause symptoms? thx ....god bless u....
Well, I beg to differ this has made a change my PCP prescribed them they regulate body weight and hot flashes. Now the HRT replacement that ones are not good. After he told me what it can cause I said no thank you I would like to get breast cancer etc.
I was prescribed estrogen patches. 05m twice a week, Ibeen on it one week. Last night I was fed feeling a throbbing pain on my left side bikini area, el that go away, is that going to effect my ovaries? Also, is Ditto synthetic or bioidentical? I'm also taking 100m of progesterone, I'm going to take that after dinner since it says it causes drowsiness. I don't sleep for hours.
If most all birthcontrol made me sick will HRT do the same?
Do you trust pharmaceutical companies?
Thankyou so interesting! I’ve heard u mention estrogen cream which is used locally . I’d love to know if it will address all over dryness .. in the vagina as well as quite dry skin on legs & arms & face that previous to menopause was never a problem. Number two , if estrogen was a problem when used in 30s for PMS management & contraception ( my friend ) and exacerbated symptoms ( skin rash , migraines , heavy periods ) couid it still be useful in menopausal significant lower body and abdominal fat gain that’s not shifting on diet , hot flushes, histamine sensitivity and fatigue ? . Thankyou !
There is a product in development now!
@@maryclairehavermd8473
Can estrogen cream be applied before intercouse & breastfeeding?
Can it be applied during pregnancy?
do you use HRT as well?
Wait histamine sensitivity?? I have been battling severe seasonal allergies this year and cannot get ahead!! Are you saying this is linked to estrogen/perimenopause somehow?? Uuuuughhh. Need more information.😵💫🔥😵💫
@@jencollier8306 elevated estrogen and toxic estrogen ( from environmental toxins and pesticides and plastics ) exacerbates histamines AND we need good bacteria to break down histamine in the gut . Choose low histamine probiotics strains , eat low sugar , avoid dairy , gluten , soy foods and possibly egg for a few weeks to test and take natural antihistamine and liver detox herbs with a 1g taurine powder

How to get Estrodiol
I get patch through website Evernow
Prescription pill, patch or pellets.
I tried going to my doctor but she would only prescribe oral Premarin which is NOT the same as estradiol. So, had to go online to get my bio-identical patches (Estradiol) and oral progesterone. They send the prescription to my regular pharmacy or I can also choose to have it filled by their pharmacy and they will mail to me. The website I use is Evernow but I am sure there are other good online services.
could someone answer my questions pls?
1-History of early breast cancer...
interactions and risks of tamoxifen and Creatine...
2-Vaginal HRT....I understand its a combination of Estrogen and Progesterone...is itsafe for ER breast cancer survivors? There is an expert like u in Australia that will not come close to suggesting it for cases like that. Please feel free to ellaborate. Thank tou 😉😄
I take estrogen and testosterone blockers
Dr how can I get my patch to stay on and not falling off during my shower or bath
My body temperature usually helps the patch sort of melt on and therefore stay on. Moreover when I shower I tend to turn my back to the shower and turn to the front as needed, so avoiding an extended period of water running directly on the patch. I did in the past use a hair dryer for a few seconds when I would apply the patch to assist with adhesion. Hope this helps!
@@ruthmunnings8267 where do you place your patch stomach or upper booty if you don’t mind me asking, when I shower I do that also but I would place bandages to cover , that’s getting old fast Lol
I'm looking for a safe and effective vaginal estrogen cream. The one prescribed for me yesterday is estradiol and WOW, the dangerous and or deadly side effects is not for me! Any advice on other vaginal help for painful intercourse? Thank you, Dr Haver
I love your answer. Thank you for following the facts.
Hold on a sec. When you say there is no research citing benefits, do you mean there has been no research done or the research done cites no benefits?
Hmmm..."data, facts and science" -- brought to us by PFIZER???
