Get a MENOPAUSE PLAN with Dr Mary Claire Haver
Some of us plan our meals, our careers, our finances…But the plan every woman needs—before all of that—is a Menopause Plan. Why? Because this stage of life is not just about symptoms… it’s about disease prevention, longevity, and quality of life.
In this powerful episode, we’re joined by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, bestselling author and beloved menopause advocate, to talk about what really happens in the body during menopause—and why we need to take it seriously.

-
Heart disease

Osteoporosis
-
Cognitive decline
-
Frailty in later life
Dr. Haver shares what every woman should know, from the role of estrogen and why it matters far beyond fertility, to building your personal action plan with nutrition, supplements, strength training, and community support.
