unPAUSED with Dr. Mary Claire Haver · Train Your Brain To Thrive Through Menopause · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

This is reflux.

So she was minimized and dismissed and had like 90% blockage in her

LAD, quadruple bypass, came vegetarian, non-smoker, yoga, no like risks that, you know, other than being South Asian.

We later found out that South Asian women have small coronary arteries, but still.

So just the typical being dismissed by the medical system.

And she said that it allowed me, whether it was the heart attack, whether it was menopause, they all happened at the same time.

an opportunity to see that I don't have to live by other people's rules.

The wisdom, she called it the wisdom of menopause.

And, but I, and I don't, we didn't talk much more about it, but I just do know that she went through a transition where her eyes were open.

You know, she was very hyper-educated for her age and time and

My father and her very both supported each other.

They were advocates with child mental health, with women's rights.

She worked with the first and second prime minister of India to create this model school that started in her nursery, in her living room from a nursery school to four acres, 1,500 students over two campuses.

And...

She just said, I always would do what was expected of me, the obedient, dutiful daughter, helping her parents, flying back to India, back and forth to take care of them, us, my dad being an obedient wife, submissive, but at the same time, a very powerful woman.

And I saw my parents really support each other.

But I do know that at the end of the day, she played a very, like a deferential role and almost to her detriment with her health.

So it makes me think of all the things of my dad is a super ager.

He walks five miles a day, Peloton, weights.

And my mom could have done things differently, I think, if she had prioritized muscle health, metabolic health.
