I can’t believe some women here are so hateful, posting so many negative comments about the looks of this dedicated and very well informed doctor! She is so beautiful and your hateful comments only show you are jealous. Leave her alone, show some respect to someone who is giving so much interesting information for free!
One in six people are beyond negative-know this and be grateful you’re the other 5🩵
triggered? The irony of a doctor pushing often poor menopausal advice while attempting to look 25! pose pose pose hair hair hair angle angle angle filter filter filter. Go carnivore screw this fiber stuff, we are fatter
A wise, mature and beautiful doctor is a menace for some here. Good women uplift other women.
@@sharonalicea7998 thats a false blanket and naive statement statement.
People are mean...she both beautiful and intelligent
I retired almost 2 years ago from a profoundly stressful job. I was 80 pounds overweight with uncontrollable hypertension which damaged my kidneys and severe fatigue. I was unable to lose weight because of my high cortisol levels, addiction to food and feelings of inadequacy and loneliness to the point of suicidal thinking. Huge bumps started appearing all over my abdomen. I saw a surgeon and he said that my abdominal wall had completely disincarnated due to a huge buildup of visceral fat and he could not repair it until I lost 80 pounds. This motivated me to I started walking 60 minutes per day and very soon after I started feeling so much better. I rediscovered happiness and joy. Then I made the decision to give up all processed foods. I would only shop in the peripheral areas of the grocery stores, fresh vegetables, lean meats and dairy, nuts and seeds and at least one serving of fermented food per day and eating only during a 8-hour window. Present day, I have lost 80 pounds and wearing a size 6 jeans. I no longer have hypertension or depression and I had my complete abdominal wall repaired. I am off all medications and my energy level is through the roof. I believe that you need to feel some happiness before you can find success with permanent weight loss. Walking daily was my first action which led me out of my depression. No longer depressed I was able to give up the processed foods especially sugar and flour that were killing me. Last week I nailed a dream job, and my social life has really blossomed. The wisdom in this lecture is priceless and a true path to the solution for obesity, chronic diseases and depression.
That's an incredible transformation and turnaround. Well done to you. 🧡
Congrats!!!! Do keep up the good job!!!
So encouraging, thanks for posting! 💕💞
Tks for sharing.
Congratulations! Such hard work and fabulous success 🎉
I look much younger too then 60...tired of jealous women hating me when I freely give out all of my natural secrets! Eat well, exercise...skin care, etc. It is not Rocket Science
Facts!
Most people don’t have self control or discipline
They don’t want secrets. They don’t want work. The want quick fix and magic pills. They ask for your secrets and when you tell, instantly they un-tuned and shut their ears once ‘work’ is mentioned. They are lazy to change their food choices and lifestyle. It’s not about secrets, it’s about attitude. That attitude is what got them there in the first place. What is sad, they subtly hating you instead in their responses. Again, attitude.
So true. If you eat junk food it really does show on your face, etc. I like to eat Beauty foods...Berries, sweet potatoes, Wild caught fish
Good genes and bone structure also help.
Fiber, cut sugar, probiotics (yogurt/kefir, kimchi, miso, kombucha, supplement-garden of life 85 billion raw), aerobics (level 2)-lowers and resistance training,insulin, protein-1gm for every kg of lean body mass (70-100g), no OMAD, intermittent fasting 16/8, decrease sugar, slowly push out eating window and work out in am (give it time), high quality food-veggies/protein,
😢😮😮😮😢
Thanks love
Thank u ❤
Thank you! 😊
Thanx❤
I am keto, almost carnivore. I do eat chia seeds/flax seeds daily in unsweetened coconut milk. I've lost 140 lbs. Plain greek yogurt. 55 years old and no period in over a year. I walk daily.
smart
Which Greek yogurt brand you use?
I gained weight eating coconut. I LOVE coconut yogurt. But. Had to ban myself from it. I could try coconut milk, which might be lower fat. I think my liver can't process high fat.
Holy Cow, I thought you looked too young to be a doctor and then you mentioned you are 54? I have NEVER seen someone look this young for 54.
Wow, thank you!
You didn't realize that there are video filtering and the light?
On top of the injections
AmazingAutum 12 - whoops, how embarrassing… DeeDee wasn’t talking to you 🙄
But if putting other women down makes you feel better about yourself… knock yourself out 🤤
@@amazingautumn12 she is still beautiful
@@corinneryan6525Hint 😊😅😂
I’ve noticed I battle sugar addiction more now at 55 than ever.
Menopause makes this happen unfortunately. I use stevia or Splenda. Eat fruit. Hugs
Thank you!
YESSSS for dairy!! Raw organic dairy is amazing! I’m 50, no belly fat and thriving on organic raw goat milk, kefir and cream! I am blessed to get from a trusted farmer 🙏🐐🐮
Raw milk is great!
I am only 30 minutes into your video and I am so excited. I’ve always had a flat stomach… until one year ago. Now I look pregnant and have been devastated! Thank you for what you do! I will follow and do it all to get back in shape!
I’m exactly the same and I’ve been watching posture videos and I’ve realised I have an anterior tilt of my pelvis and it’s made my stomach stick out. I’ve started doing an exercise where I forward lunge and squeeze my glutes and try to put my pelvis to the floor. It’s amazing what a difference this little exercise has made to me. It may be worth you checking it out as sometimes it’s skeletal. It helps eases the pain (I am overweight too though and not one of life’s exercisers 😂)
Same here it’s awful!! I’ve always had a flat tummy!
Me too!! I look pregnant at night!!! I’ve been so depressed!!!
Absolutely!!!! I’ve always been in shape and this is terrible!! Belly fat won’t stop growing!!!! Ugh! Daily meltdowns!
I am going through the same thing. No real change in food/life yet pounds keep coming.
Intermittent fasting, eat twice a day between 12-7. High protein,vegetables, low carbohydrates. No soda , juices, coffee, and bread.
I’m 48, 5’1”. 32-26-34 weigh about 106.
Strength train 3x a week. Stretch and cardio once a week like spin class.
You’re welcome 😊😘
me too Michelle. Exercising since I was 18, now I’m 72 and above my navel is loose and it looks like my mama’s stomach. But it’s my stomach. I thought the yoga and exercise for 50 years would not produce this. I exercise daily and always have but it’s still there.
I love what you are saying about refined sweetners. I eliminated highly refined sugars and foods 3 years ago and do not miss it. I do occasionally eat some but move on after enjoying it. I do want to say I am whole food plant based and have no problem meeting my protein needs, while lifting heavier weights and increasing my strength training. 54 years old, lost 110 pounds slowly over 5 years. Kicked my food addictions and am physically, spiritually and emotionally stronger than ever. My skin, hair, nails, body recomposition all beautiful! Nothing beats finding what works for you and just doing it. Love what you are saying!
Thank you for sharing
Fantastic! We are so happy for you!!!
👍🏾
Amazing!🎉
Do you use oilve oil?
Just came across your channel. So much good information! I am 67 years young and trying to fight muscle loss and also have been diagnosed with osteoporosis. Thank you for sharing this great knowledge!
I am new to your channel and am thankful I found you. Not enough doctors talk about what to do during menopause as far as dietary changes and what women can do to stay healthy leading up to and during menopause as well as after menopause. I've never paid much attention to the amount of fiber in foods but I am now as a result of listening to you. Thank you for all you do!
Yes! Playing with my granddaughter without fear. Thank you for saying that!! My middle is expanding faster than ever. I signed up today.
Hi-I went through this during pre- menopause. From age 49-54 I gained about 12 pounds on my 5 ft frame - and it was on my belly , arms, chest and arms- places where I had never carried excess weight. My waist used to be 25 inches and it went to 29. I went through menopause officially at 54. Covid hit the world and walking curbed the boredom. I was working from home so it also got me of the house. I don't know if it has been the walking , but I lost 14 pounds, feel better than ever and play tennis and pickleball 5-6 days a week. My body looks better than when I was 45. - before all this stuff started.
Similar to me, except I wasn't working before the Pandemic but always kept myself occupied...I think my body prefers walking and being outside to gruelling spinning classes etc...if it wasn't for the Pandemic I wouldn't have realised this....
I love this for you. You go girl.🫶🏻
How much walking do you do daily? I'm 53 and post meno and have struggled to lose weight for the last 5 years. I workout hard 5 days a week and eat healthy and do all the things, but I'm just not budging. I'm wondering if walking might be better for me than some of the more intense cardio. I don't know!
@@Monedog120I started walking 30 minutes every day. Walking at a pace where I enjoyed it with my husband. I can see a difference in my energy level, a slight difference on the scale, and definition in my legs…in just 2 weeks. Definitely helps curb your appetite as well.
The only time I reached optimal weight was from walking.
This is the best video health I’ve seen on YT or any platform to help us with these issues. Thank you
Yes!!! It was alarming how quickly my body changed. Thighs, arms and belly fat almost over night and it has been difficult trying to adapt to my new body! Thank you for making these videos to help us keep sanity❤
Same story here. Wake up one day & try to figure out who that is in the mirror 😢
Personally I don't even look in the mirror because it would just upset me too much. Send me into a spiral then it would be difficult to dig myself out so I'd avoid mirrors at all cost. Probably cuz my adrenals have been spent the majority of my life and it doesn't take much to upset me.
@@di4085 I was so upset at the difference in my appearance that I too stopped looking in the mirror. I thought I was being immature but the fact is my body seemed to change overnight that I was sure I had done something to cause it.

I'm a year late to this video, but I've been doing intermittent fasting since this past Feb 2023, using the 18/6 formula "most of the time", and without changing what I eat, just changing when I eat, I'm down 30 lbs (and counting). I already do more protein, I don't do fast food, I grow my own sprouts and use them daily, and I'm fairly active (hiking, biking, kayaking, paddleboarding, skiing) in Colorado. Still dealing with loose bellyfat, and dealing with hair loss/thinning, but otherwise healthier than when I started the intermittent fasting at end of Feb 2023, no "sugar shakes", less bloating/cramping, sleep better. Still dealing with hot flashes and with dry crepey skin. I was plunged into menopause thanks to my hysterectomy 11 years ago, still dealing with it today.
Your story sounds like mine.
I have a very affordable remedy for crepey skin. Gold Bond Age Renew Crepe Corrector body lotion. I began using and saw a huge difference so I told my Mother about it. We both used the word Miracle when talking about it’s effectiveness.
@@kathydilorenzo9744gonna try!
Wow! I'm one year younger! Finding you has been perfect! You and Dr. Doug have been my lifesavers!
You are a jewel, we older gals need all the help we can get.
😢 I am so tired no one talks about menopause. Everybody wants to give us diet that are build for a man don’t work for us you’re the first want to come out and explain love what you’ve been doing thank you for that. I am 60 pounds overweight haven’t been able to lose 1 pound, I am 51 feel like 25 look like 51 I am going to start doing what you’re saying and give myself a second chance God bless
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
YOU look GREAT!!!!
THANKS for ALL that YOU DO!!!!
I am so happy I came across your channel. I went through chemo and radiation in 2020-2021. It sent me into menopause. I think I gained about 10 lbs and I have always been and stayed active during tx. I struggled for the first time in my life to rid of that excess weight and I felt so inflamed. I started IF a few months ago and changed my macros to add more fat and protein. Also fiber. Upped my strength training too. GAME CHANGERS. I look and FEEL better than ever in my life.😢 I am so so grateful to have this chance in life to institute such things. I appreciate your information so much.
Well done 💪🏻 you go girl
I’m up at 3 a.m. with an upset tummy watching this, and so relieved and grateful. I’m 55, still In perimenopause and having allll the issues you talk about here. I’m going to check out the Galveston diet and try that probiotic. Thank you! Hormone stuff is so complicated and I’m going through so much right now, but you’re making me feel less alone.

You are one of the cutest natured doc online. Thanks for helping millions of women.
Sharing this with several of my friends. Thank you so much! I do want to mention, though that I know a few people who have reversed their type 2 diabetes with intermittent fasting. But I can appreciate that it’s probably contraindicated for type one diabetes.
Every time I hear about the Galveston Diet….It brings memories back when I lived in Galveston, TX. 😊
Thank you 💖 I've used bioidentical hormones for 25 years from troches to pills to OTC creams to going through menopause in January 2021 and then started pellet therapy in 2022 (testosterone, estradiol), and progesterone pills to help with extreme fatigue and low libido. I'm grateful for your information because I have recently gained belly fat and thought it was related to my testosterone as an androgen effect. You confirmed my suspicions and will be seeing a new physician that's listed on the North American Menopause Society referral page next!! Keep up the awesome work for OUR CAUSE!!! 💖
I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, the cause of my cancer is using bio identical hormones. I took all the same hormones you mentioned. I used them for 3 years. Please do the research! There is no history in my family of cancer! Numerous Doctors confirmed the use of bio identical hormones is the cause for my cancer. Honestly, what a mistake from my part, not worth it! Please do the research! It’s to late once you get cancer, get the facts please please please! Get a second opinion, I wish I had, getting cancer is a nightmare!
Did the treatment for low libido help? My Dr refuses to give me anything for it
I tried the Soto pellet’s and the only thing it did was give me stinky armpits. 😂
As a 55 year old female nothing worked for weightloss until I decided to do a carnivore challenge 1 year ago and started strength training I don't eat fiber absolutely no sugar just high natural fats and high protein......I lost 35lbs got body recomposition, got rid of chronic acid reflux and arthritis, feel healthier than ever and also do some intermittent fasting......no regrets, this is my new lifestyle. It fixed my broken metabolism and hormones.
Me too! There is no need for fiber, carbs, vegetables, or sugar.
Hi, sorry, maybe not a smart question, but when you say" carnivore diet" does it mean you eat only meat or only animal based food, like milk, egs. ?
@anasaulea2105 I eat animal based products. I eat all meats but more beef, like ribeyes and burger patties, eggs, cheeses, sugar-free yogurts and protein shakes.
What about veggies, salads?
Only good shirt term, like keto...not meant to be a longterm lifestyle
Just coming across you. This is all fabulous info conveyed so clearly, thank you I’m ALL over all of it! 😍
I am just finding you at 56, in post menopause/partial Hyst and so relieved to hear a Dr talk deeply about menopause, belly fat, hrt and estrogen scare...this is a game changer to a better life and mood swings...I plan on talking to my Dr or a new dr about all this.
Hi are you on hormone therapy i started 2 years ago and I’ve gain weight 20 pounds I’m doing the pellets I need help need to do this way of eating I also have a fatty liver don’t if that it’s affecting me
New subscriber from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦….I am 120 pounds and I hate my belly fat. I like how you explain things, I’m glad I found your channel, thank you.
For lactose intolerant friends out there…I make plain yogurt with lactose free milk in my insta pot. Super easy and lactose free. Hope this helps someone.

You are wonderful!! I am 58 and started menopause at 55. I want to learn more about insulin.❤
What a knowledgeable , good looking Dr. I can't stop listening to you even at this late time in the night. You are so brave coming up speaking about the truth. Battling with abdominal fat also. Searching for the best treatment, someone truly supporting us.I also need help
Psalm 20 for you 🙏 ❤️
Kisses from Canada 🇨🇦
Stay positive, we need more doctors like her!!! Thank you for what you do doctor!😘❤️
I quit adding brown sugar but have started using local honey to put in oatmeal. I do love broccoli, black beans, pinto beans and oatmeal for fiber. Unsweetened tea or water are our choices at restaurants over soda.
Honey is still sugar and oatmeal is sugar as well.
Thank you for sharing you knowledge and energy with us. You were very helpful.
Thank you for the observation on nutrafol
I was so skeptical about it and Texas is lucky on having you
Dr Mary Claire Haver, I love your videos so many great health advise, I’ll be 60 on Thanksgiving 11/23/2023 and I went through menopause at 52 and the last few years I’ve struggled with my hormones..no libido bad sleep & gained weight especially my mid section… Belly fat.. I live in Washington state ..I sure wish I live in Texas.. Thank you so much!! Your absolutely awesome!!
Wow I feel so blessed I found you and your channel Doctor H. Thank you for all this information ❤
Thank you for your no nonsense approach and totally understandable information. Love it!! 😊
Just found you, very impressive information. I could listen to you all day! Well except for when I’m at the gym. Results take a long time to see,but totally worth sticking it out. Thank you for your specific focus👍🏼
It’s wonderful that a super talented young woman with my daughters name is helping others - what a beautiful example for her
1) get enough fiber, min 25 grams per day
2) limit added sugars
3) eat probiotics
First of all. Your hair looks great!!! I am always excited to listen to all your information about menopause. Just wanted to say, "Ï appreciate you so much", and I can not believe why doctors and women doctors do not tell you anything about transitions that will take place. What is doing on in the women's health world that is not normally addressed to all women that will be transitioning into womanhood.
But anyway, THANK YOU this episode is very much needed.
You are amazing!!!! Now help us with aging and dry hair. You look amazing
I just have to say don’t think I EVER seen anyone look so young for their age!! This doctor looks so young!! AMAZING!!
I definitely had a waist measurement increase when peri- and menopause came around, even though my weight did not change!
Loved this!
Have a wonderful and blessed birthday!
Itchy back. Oh my goodness!!
So glad I found this channel!
I love. All the "things" you talk about, thank you for all the great information. ❤
Yes on the shift in body composition while maintaining same weight
Oh my gosh, you turned 54 three days before I did, and you look literally 10 to 15 years younger than me 😩
All of your points are things I already know but it's so good to be reminded of especially as a unit, thank you! I had my last period at 49 and do not do any sort of hormone replacement other than over-the-counter progesterone and estriol cream. I'm not sure how good they are but I do know if I stop taking them I start having hot flashes again. I have aged a tremendous amount in these five years since menopause. I know my diet has not been as clean as it should be, and I have really faltered in the exercise arena after many years of being consistent so this has been such a good reminder for me. I began intermittent fasting, and eating clean, a few days ago and went back to the gym, and lifted, just today. And have been walking daily. Off to a very slow start. The older I get the longer it takes to regain what I have lost. Big bellies run in my mom's side of the family. I always had to work to keep mine flat but after menopause it's almost impossible. Personally I am just as concerned about my accelerated aging as I am my belly 😩 Can hormone replacement reverse the aging/sagging on my face? Also I have ZERO libido. My poor husband 💔 Since I'm already five years post-menopause does it make sense for me to try prescription hormone replacement at this point?
Try plastic surgery it's not a dig but could be life changing to feel sexy and feel in the mood
You're already going in the right direction with the Intermittent Fasting. That will help A LOT with belly fat loss. Also follow a mostly ketogenic diet, if you can. I think prescription hormone replacement therapy would still be worth exploring at this point. It's definitely worth a try. You deserve a better quality of life. 🧡
@@sheila6186how do you get the recommended fiber on keto? I’m really curious to try keto but Dr Marie says we need at least 25 g of fiber. Thank you.
@@Ranch-girlchia, flax, hemp seeds, psyllium husk... good luck
Went from an athletic "V" shape in my 50s to a sad apple shape now in my 60s. 😐 This is worth a try. Thanks Doc!
I’m extremely grateful for all the info you are giving us! Thank you thank you and thank you ! It always blows my mind how ungrateful people are!!!! I appreciate you very much and you are a
Beautiful person to try to help us women.
Sweetened with stevia only: Two Good yogurt. Even the natural vanilla and berry flavors have 3 carbs, and no artificial sweeteners. Delicious!
Have to watch stevia though. I used it for years and my Gyn couldn’t find presence of L Rueteri bacteria in my culture for last 2 years. After doing some digging, I found that stevia wipes out this beneficial bacteria. Got off it and switched to monk fruit only.
Thank you for this wealth of info. I’m 52, almost 53, I’m 263 lbs, 5’8. I’ve recently started to pack on visceral fat and it’s awful. I’m taking femenessence which is plant based maca for estrogen as I barely had any. I’m hypo thyroid and on armour thyroid.
My problem is exercise. When I exercise my cortisol goes crazy- I puff up, get fatigued, have massive inflammation in my joints, and my thyroid drags - adrenal fatigue. It takes me a week to get back to normal and have any energy.
I’m eating great, getting 120-140 grams of protein, 2200-2400 cals a day.
I’m focused on walking until my body leans out and I disrupt cortisol every time I exercise. I can’t imagine doing HIIT like you for an hr.
U need to walk and speed walk every day!
Inflammation is a real thing. Sounds like you're doing everything right. Your bod is just angry with you.
Starts with Intermittent Fasting until you drop enough inflammation and weight to exercise. In the meantime, walk.
@@mimax4498 IF is not recommended for women in menopause it causes stress and raises cortisol which leads to more visceral fat. I’ve lost 13 lbs, 25 inches overall using progesterone bio identical cream and doing circuit training with weights. I do not IF - I count macros and eat to my macros - increased my protein to 120-150 g a day.
I think 2200-2400 calories per day is too much! I am at the same age and my calorie requirement to be able to loose weight is 1400 calories, unfortunately. Yes I will start macro diet too, it makes sense.
Am happy I found you your advice is greatly appreciated thank you very much for what you are doing.
Maaaaarrrryyy C! I was just you tubing about berberine and there you are! I love your vids. You look gorgeous still. Thanks for this. I'm still battling the meno-pooch.
Yes i have had a increase in fat around my stomach and it is a nightmare and i am 48 years of age i have gone up 4 sizes and i just thought it was me but now i am going to go on your diet already downloaded kindle book thank you for your help OMG i am relieved i can do somethink about it thank you x
Thank you for the advice! I can change some points on my daily diet and add exercise and that can help already! Thanks!
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much for informing us and advocating for women’s health as it is such a very neglected area of medicine. Now please don’t pay attention to negative comments. Some women are so insecure in who they are they like to put other women down who seemingly have it better than them. Continue to spread this awareness because there are a lot of us who need your help!
My sister told me something that really stuck with me recently. She said that I was not fully immersed in this entire process 😮of menopause. She is 68 and I am 61..... profound!!
.
Omg so scary. I was so happy with the idea of menopause because I’m so tired of having periods now but getting to know all these issues that come with menopause is even more terrifying 😭
I just found your videos and have now subscribed! I can't wait to look at all of them. Thanks for your knowledge!❤️
Thank you so much for your dedication and sharing your knowledge. My symptons were severe.When I turned 57 my Dr sent me to a Dermatologist who thankfully perscribed Dupient, it has been a game changer for me. Having said that, It took a long time for Drs to take me seriously.
Absolutely in alignment with everything you are sharing/teaching here. At the 39 min mark you pass a comment about needing to teach other doctors what you do … I’m not a doctor but a holistic nutritionist .. I like to think I’m a culinary nutritionist lol … is there any plan to consider bringing on nutritionists like myself ? I’m 46 and have naturally reached menopause officially 2 months ago ( I’m 14 months now since last period) I feel I manoeuvred through perimenopause decently but definitely not without some challenges. It’s so important to me to help other women navigate through this with soooo much self love and understanding what’s happening and what to do. I’d love to hear if there’s a way to incorporate what you’re teaching with my own clients and friends . Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
Hi, I love what are you doing for all the peri and menopause women !! Thank you for all the advise! I would like to know how you keep such abundant and healthy hair. You said in one of your videos that you use minoxidil, what else? Could you tell us what routine or products do you use? Thank you and Happy Birthday !!!🎈
Hi from Colorado!!! Please open a clinic here! I love your nutrition messages and health messages!!
Wow learned so much I will be rewatching!
So glad i found your channel. Im starting to recognize some pre symptoms. Time to really educate myself so im as healthy as i can get. I only have 1 body and its my responsibility! Wahooo
Thank you so much. Love your video!
Thank you for all the knowledge you share with us!!
My pleasure!
@@maryclairehavermd8473
hi wondered if you could help me with some advice, I had a hysterectomy age 42 last year, I kept my ovaries but unfortunately this has still brought on menopause but tbh think I was in peri menopause before the hysterectomy, maybe because I’ve been on very strong opioids for 8 years for a brain condition. In understanding that as I don’t have a womb I will only need estrogen only hrt? As progesterone is just to protect the womb lining right? That I don’t have. I also have breast cancer in my family & also of the understanding that estrogen only hrt has no cancer risk? So I have an appointment to discuss hrt tomorrow & was going to ask for estrogen onlyHRT. I’ve been having severe cramping for 3 years now that’s so bad I have to also use strong opioid for this. I doubt this is menopause related as started 3 years ago when I was still having periods, but soon after getting them stopped having periods or only had one every 3-4 months. I understand menopause cramps can be very painful. If by chance they are related to this, as I’ve had so many tests and scans that can’t find the answer, then will estrogen only help this? Or do you recommend a progesterone/estrogen combination? If so how high is the breast cancer risk pls. It’s my grandmother that had it. My grandfather had bladder and prostate cancer. I am just listening to you say how important fiber is but with my stomach pain and issues i have to follow very low fiber diet as any fiber, fatty meat and high sugar makes my stomach unbearable to the point I end up in hospital. I’m wondering if it’s something to do with my gall bladder as I can’t tolerate fatty things especially, but I’ve had a MRI on my abdomen/bowels so thought this may have show my gallbladder and had numerous FBC blood tests that I gather would show gall bladder issues? Would really appreciate your advice 🙏🏻 thank you
Dr Haver. I've just binged watched 5hours of interviews with you. So glad to have found you as I'm learning all about everything perimenopause and you are the bomb! You most likely read about the latest studies of the 30g protein rule. A new study (can't remember where I saw it recently on a channel similar to yours!) that it's now proven the protein continues to be moved into cells. They proved you can eat as much as you like and your body continues to gobble it up over the 30g mark, continuously until its all used up. :) Great news hey?! I've just ordered your book and I am so looking forward to reading it. Watching from London UK.
Dr. Haver, THANK YOU for sharing your expertise 💖 my docs in the “corporate medical world” do not have these very necessary conversations with patients in menopause…we are left to do our own research. I appreciate YOU 🙏
Just SUBSCRIBED! Giving you a HELLO, YES, fat around my abdomen that I've NEVER had before! I'm at "that age" and WOW, the changes! BTW, perfect storm due to HIGH stress at the same time of change, not a good combo. THANK YOU Dr. Mary Claire❤HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY AND THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPES! God Bless You!
Thanks for saying what you said about not getting fat on eating fruit, so many diets make you afraid to eat them.
Eating a lot of fruit can lead to visceral fat accumulation, depending on your levels of testosterone. I'll explain...
Visceral fat is actually an energy source that men can gain easily thanks to testosterone. The reason why the body created this energy source is because males used to hunt, and a lot of the time, they were very long hunts so they'd have to go without food during this time. Because of men's higher testosterone levels and muscle mass, they have high metabolic rates so burn through calories a lot faster than women. Because of that, they couldn't gain subcutaneous fat, so the body created Visceral fat as an alternative, and it can only be burned after a certain period of time of no food, WHEN insulin levels drop low enough, it is resistant to calorie restriction, so cutting calories has little to no effect, it depends entirely on insulin! To gain this fat, men would eat a lot of fruit to increase their insulin levels. Sugar of any kind will increase your insulin levels, but fruit was the only option in those times. Women's bodies didn't need this fat because thanks to estrogen, we can gain subcutaneous fat, we can gain as much as we want and while men were on hunts, women would live off their body fat while they waited for food. Estrogen stops our insulin levels from spiking and that's why women with higher estrogen levels than testosterone have smaller waists, relatively flat bellies and fat on the hips, buttocks and thighs instead. A lot of women have more testosterone than estrogen due to genetics, poor ovarian function unrelated to menopause (some women's ovaries just naturally perform poorly for whatever reason), overproduction by the ovaries or adrenal glands (PCOS) etc... for this reason, women with higher testosterone levels have to eat like men used to (minus the fruit because you won't be hunting and do not need visceral fat). Men would eat more fats and protein, and less carbohydrates. You can still eat fruit, just not high quantities of it. You want to keep your sugar intake low, your carbohydrate intake low and your fat and protein intake high. This will prevent visceral fat accumulation, and fasting frequently for at least 18 hours will burn the visceral fat you already have!
Oh my goodness! You’re coming to Colorado??? I just can’t wait! I will drive hours to see you!❤
Timestamps would be helpful on longer videos! thank you for your help Dr!
I like Seed probiotic. Second I also like Garden of Life 50+. Great video today. I like the discussion on spreading out protein throughout the day. Definitely downloading the chronometer app you suggest.
Have you ever tried sauerkraut ? It's a great probiotic.
I love Seed pre/probiotic
Always appreciate the information. Even if it’s not followed to a T it’s in my mind constantly!
Great Vidoes and information. Thanks so much for sharing all your knowledge!
Just came across this channel. Thanks for posting this information video.
If I eat berries, beans, broccoli, flax seeds, nuts, grains, etc as the only source of Fiber it comes out the other end very soft. To counteract this I also eat shredded wheat and/or granola cereal, in addition to other vegetables. I need more roughage than berries, beans, etc. Gut health I consume sauerkraut and/or pre/pro biotics.
Hello, this is the first time I have seen your video. Question: What multi vitamin do you take? Also, can you do a video on why women can't go into ketosis while there in menopause? Can they go back into ketosis after menopause? Thank you
Thank you for sharing. I find you helpful.
Happy erly birthday🎉 you look amazing! And thank you for sharing all these invaluable knowledge!!!
Kefir is great if someone has dairy sensitivities because it eats the lactose during fermentation. There are so many uses for kefir.
I've always gained weight in my belly but it's worse now. I've also gained weight overall. I know some of it is from injuries and so loss of being able to exercise off and on the last few years (I'm now healed) but also from perimenopause - I'm 54, soon to be 55, and still in perimenopause, and think I've gone beyond the 10 years of peri as things began to go wrong in my early 40s. Ugh.
I’m really enjoying listening to you and all your knowledge in peri-menopause, menopause and post-menopause. Great information❤
Garden of Life vitamin company was bought out by Nestlé in 2017..right!?
You are gorgeous.
And holy shit, what would we do without you. Seriously, it's terrifying, the gap in menopausal knowledge. Yr teachings will ripple through coming generations. Thank you.❤My mother, never mentioned menopause. How weird is that.😢
I am excited you are coming to Colorado!! I live in Colorado and am a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach.
You’re the second I’ve seen from Colorado I lived in NO CO 2010-2022 n move to OH. So hello out there ❤
This is really solid advice, thx Doc.
Glad you enjoyed!
50kgs is 110 lbs, not 120lbs. So 50 x 1.2 = 60 grams of protein intake daily or approx 20grams over three meals daily. My "rockin' body" weight is 54 kgs so 65gr of protein daily is my target. Great advice here! I calculated my visceral fat at .78 (waist circumference divided by hips circumference), so I guess I'm within a good range where unwanted VF is concerned. Yes, there's no easy fix but all the advice you provide is absolutely sound, effective and doable! Thank you for your informative vlogs and advocating for women's health! You're a legend, Dr. Haver!!
Helpful. Thank you!! I have been trying everything clean, conscious eating and walking, kickboxing or lifting most days for years and still look 6 months pregnant most days.....
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH for calling out the 1 to 1.5g of protein per KILOGRAM and not POUNDS of weight. SOO many influencers on YT, even doctors on YT are mistakenly promoting 1-1.5g/lb which is almost double the true target. I challenged a doctor promoting g/lb AND intermittent fasting (2 meals a day) by pointing out that a 140lb person would need to consume nearly SIX 5oz cans of albacore tuna per day, or 3.5 FULL chicken breasts per day, in only 2 meals.
@littleninja71 - Unfortunately, this is the doc who seems to be misquoting protein needs.
The real deal is 1g to 1.1g high quality protein per lb of your body weight. (Or your ideal body weight, in such case that there is alot of weight to come off and you need to eat at a caloric deficit for awhile).
1.5g per lb body weight? No. Idk who is suggesting that, but there is no need for a 1.5g protein per lb body weight. (Unless you are an elite athlete training intensely 2-3x a day.)
Also, the protein s/b a complete ESAA profile protein - e.g., animal protein = 'high quality protein' per pound of body weight (or ideal body weight)
If you are doing IF, let your fast be the evening hours post dinner and overnight during sleep. Break your fast in the a.m. the next day and don't push out the fast into the afternoon - which is counter productive.
Too many people do this (fast into the afternoon hours) and it's a mistake. The body utilizes protein (& calories , overall) more efficiently in the a.m. bc of the way our Circadian Rhythm is structured - recent studies by Dr. Satchin Panda of The Salk Institute supports this finding.
So, fast overnight and start your day with a protein forward breakfast by 10am or earlier.
Forget about a 20g protein breakfast (as this dr. suggests). That will not do anything for muscle protein synthesis, which is what you need to build muscle. And you want to build muscle because muscle is a metabolic organ, and muscle signals the body to burn fat. So the more muscle we have the more fat we burn, overall. Strive for at least 30g protein breakfast.
The high protein intake is not easily attainable - especially eating at a caloric deficit - bc eating that much quality protein is calorie dense - so it's a balancing act.
Also, you will, along with fat, also lose lean body tissue. About 25% of the weight lost will be lean body tissue. It's just a fact. But, overall, you will lose more fat than lean tissue by increasing your protein intake, and exercising - zone 2 cardio, weighted resistance training, and zone 5 (high intensity) training.
Supplementing with a complete protein supplement like a good quality whey protein will help to get you where you need to be protein wise. And if you need to eat at a calorie deficit, strive for at least 1g protein per pound of your ideal (not your actual) body weight.
Frankly, imo, the best professional source we women can tap into is Dr. Stacy Sims, PhD.- her doctorate is in exercise physiology. She specializes in women's health, diet and fitness. Interestingly, she is either vegan or vegetarian - and she definitely 'walks the talk' - so the protein intake can be accomplished plant-based, ir at leastcshe has done it tgst way.
You can Google her, and/or find her YT interviews by keying in her name in YT search bar. Katie Couric recently interviewed Dr. Sims, so you can search for that interview and learn more about women's fitness. She's also written 2 books in women's fitness, 'Roar' and 'Next Level' , which is her most recent and is geared toward peri- and menopausal health/diet/fitness issues - based on female (not male) fitness studies.
She mentioned that amount of protein per LEAN mass/weight...not total weight.
@@Atheria444 Then she contradicted herself and said "ideal" weight.
I found that IF has helped a lot with my sugar cravings. Most days I don't eat any, unless it is what is in my fresh fruit.
Thanks for all this information
Great video! Thanks so much!
