Dr. Mary Claire Haver

Until my patients and I all got to that age and I'm like, all these women I hang out with outside of the office are not crazy.

Like, I know them.

I shop with them.

We run together.

We have mommy groups.

You know, they pick up my kids when I'm running late at the hospital.

Like, she's not crazy.

Like, this is real.

And she's not gaining weight because she's constantly going through the drive-thru.

Right.

And I think

Oh, totally.

You're in there fighting the good fight in the clinics, across from the patients, day to day, seeing the success, seeing the new tools available to patients, you know, and really helping change your patients' lives.

Right.

But, you know, you don't have to fight this battle on social media.

What do you want to tell her if she can't drive to northern New York and come find you?

Yeah.

So what is insulin resistance?

For our listeners who may not understand, it's a term being tossed about quite a bit now.

Yes, less than you would think because when you look at the volume of research around perimenopause, I have to kind of look at the postmenopausal data and make inferences backwards.
