A Physician-Led Approach to Midlife Nutrition

Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a board-certified OB-GYN who has devoted her career to women’s health.

After working in private practice and academic medicine, she increasingly focused on the health concerns affecting women during midlife. She later became a Certified Menopause Provider and Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist, expanding her expertise in menopause care and nutrition.

Her clinical experience, along with her own experience of menopause-related changes, ultimately led her to develop The Galveston Diet.

What Readers Can Expect From the Program

The Galveston Diet explains a three-part approach built around intermittent fasting, anti-inflammatory nutrition and what Haver calls “fuel refocusing.”

The book provides practical structure through more than 40 recipes and six weeks of meal plans, helping readers see how its principles translate into daily choices.

Someone seeking context for midlife weight changes may appreciate Haver’s explanation of the relationship between nutrition, inflammation and changing physiology. Its combination of background information and step-by-step planning also allows readers to evaluate whether the program feels realistic for their routines and personal goals.
