Pt. 2 of 2 - Taming Weight Gain, Menopause, and Inflammation With Dr. Mary Claire Haver, The Galveston Diet

EP 72 Pt. 2 of 2: Menopause can feel like a midlife cluster, especially if you’re trying to navigate it on your own. Are you wondering about the best way to stay in shape during midlife and menopause? Do you find yourself reaching for the sugar-filled treat to satisfy midlife cravings? Ready to learn exactly how much protein you should be eating? And the key to really preventing chronic illness in midlife? Menopause and midlife are not excuses for us to suffer from stubborn weight and inflammation…get ready to learn everything you need to know about taking control of your midlife health. 

Welcome back to part two of my discussion with “menopause normalizer and problem solver”, Dr. Mary Claire Haver. In this episode, we discuss the third pillar of The Galveston Diet, protein, how the heck to calculate how much you need in midlife, and the importance of exercise, which I learned isn’t just about toning the midlife muffin top. We wrap up part 2 by going over key measurements for midlife body composition, ratios of muscle-to-fat, and how those ratios can give you crucial information about your health. And remember if you haven't heard part 1 then go listen to that first!

Some Highlights: 

• What type of exercise should I be incorporating in midlife?

• What’s Omega three and how do I get more of it?

• How do I know if I’m getting enough protein?

• Do yourself a favor and incorporate avocado in your daily snack list because half an avocado a day contains half the daily minimum fiber for a midlife woman. 

• What is visceral fat and why is it important?

Looking forward to connecting with you! Here are some ways to connect with me!
