Dr. Mary Claire Haver shares her journey from being a board-certified OBGYN to becoming a menopause specialist and holistic practitioner. She discusses the challenges she faced in traditional medical practice, including long hours and administrative burdens, and how she decided to open her own menopause-focused clinic. Dr. Haver also explains the importance of nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, and sleep in menopause care. She highlights the lack of education and research on menopause and the need for more attention and funding in this field. The conversation also covers the history of hormone replacement therapy and the misconceptions surrounding its risks and benefits.

Dr. Youn and Dr. Haver explore the topics of relative risk and absolute risk, the fear of breast cancer driving healthcare decisions, the healthy cell hypothesis, the importance of timing in hormone replacement therapy, the difference between synthetic hormones and bioidentical hormones, and the controversy surrounding hormone imbalances. The Menopause Toolkit is discussed as a resource for managing menopause symptoms.
