Mary Claire Haver (The New Menopause, The ‘Pause Life) is a board-certified OBGYN, culinary medicine specialist, and best-selling author. Mary Claire joins the Armchair Expert to discuss how she ended up as one of eight children to restauranteur parents, the reason she became an OBGYN being that delivering babies never gets old, and how she misinterpreted her own menopause as grief amid the death of her brother. Mary Claire and Dax talk about the untenable claims of the study that HRT gives women cancer, her argument that hormone replacement therapy is the longevity drug for women, and a hormonal solution to reverse declining libido as one reaches menopausal age. Mary Claire explains why women can still get pregnant during perimenopause, the woeful lack of information and training received by medical professionals when it comes to women’s health, and the hive of practitioners she helped crowdsource to meet the needs of the menopausal community.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Wow.
This is a long time coming. Big time. Armcherry's demanded it and we have produced it. We actually leaned on Armcherry's to tell us who their favorite menopause expert was. Yes. And by unanimous, popular.
Dr. Mary Claire.
She popped up and she fucking delivered. I love her.
I thought she was so great. This is so informative and helpful and needed. And I've brought this up, obviously, to a lot of my female friends.
What was the main thing you said? Because I brought it up to some people, too.
Oh, I'm just like, guys, we had a perimenopause menopause expert on. It's really intense.
It's very positive. It's like the most hopeful.
