- About Dr. Mary Claire Haver and The Galveston Diet -
Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a passionate women’s health advocate who believes women in midlife deserve to live their best life. She cuts through fat-shaming and fads, so women are empowered with the science behind anti-inflammation nutrition.
Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a wife, mom, physician, and entrepreneur who has devoted her adult life to women’s health. As a Board-Certified OBGYN in the Houston area, Dr. Haver has delivered thousands of babies, completed thousands of well-woman exams, counseled patients, taught residents, and did everything an academic professor and OBGYN could do.
As her patient population aged, Dr. Haver was overwhelmed with the number of complaints and concerns her patients had with weight gain while going through menopause. For years, she told her patients to eat less and exercise more. It wasn't until she experienced the changes of menopause and mid-life weight gain that she realized this advice doesn't work and ultimately led to her creating and developing a new program, The Galveston Diet.
The Galveston Diet is the first and only nutrition program created by a Female OBGYN, designed for women in menopause. The Galveston Diet helps women reach their health and wellness goals through an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition. Dr. Haver believes in food's power to combat inflammation and highly recommends the unlimited benefits of intermittent fasting. As part of her ongoing research, she became certified in Culinary Medicine in 2019, specializing in medical nutrition.

I’ve been following you for three months now and I’m down 17 lbs. I’m shocked at how much my belly has went down.

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Love this so much!!!!!!

[@sallyshields6553]

how did u lose the weight? congratulations!

[@rhondahargrove]

Wonderful to have you on my side because i feel pretty much alone out here !! I have been working out and eating healthy for soooo long. Boot camp and gym for 7 days a week . I am 52 sure I dont have to take meds but man the weight is like hugging me. I gave up about 4 months ago and i enjoy eating but i feel horrible. I had just given up. Thank you for your passion and information.

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

You are so welcome!

[@BlaBla-rx7yl]

I hear you.

[@BlaBla-rx7yl]

I can relate to your personal story I also lost a brother during the start if my peri menopause depression added to the mix and I have been gaining weight since then and I also have family history if cancer . I will look for information to join you on this diet . Thank you for all that you do. You are opening our eyes you can’t get this info from any dr out there . If u talk about weight they really don’t have a clue it just gets dismissed even peri menopause gets dismissed. Thank you 💕

[@tlsyoutube8914]

this information has been in my mind for so long and it's great to finally get some media attention. glad I finally found this Dr. and diet suggestions for my issues. Wish everyone would listen and pay attention and get changes in our foods and diets.

[@carolineagostini8734]

Hi Dr Mary, all I can say is thank you so much for your superb research and passion for women’s health. I am now eating a highly nutrient rich anti inflammatory diet and fasting, and the difference is incredible. My chronic pain disappeared in 1 week, which has blown my mind. This is me for the rest of my life now 💕 Thank you so much. You rock! X

[@MaryThomsen]

Love you! Thank you. I am on the journey. Got the book..

[@iolantherandlehoff705]

I just started watching your videos and hope this will be the answer to my belly fat

[@michellec2899]

AHHHHHH! I just ate a bag of chocolate covered pretzels from the $ store. I’m slowly learning your theory, thank you for sharing your important information,it’s starting to make sense to me. And thank you for sharing your truths, I’m caring for 3 seniors, and yes it gets emotional at times. Keep your chin up 🌸🌺🇬🇧🇨🇦🧘‍♀️

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Hang in there! You can do this!

[@waterdragon5418]

Thank you x 3 for this Info!

[@isabellagomez7709]

I love you Dr. Thanks God I find you 🙏🏻

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Wow, thank you

[@kerryrussell102]

Awesomeness…. 1000% Thank you.

[@dianalvarez3897]

Great video Dr! This makes so much sense. I’ve struggled with Hashimoto’s for years and losing weight is SO hard. How can I find out how many hours and which times intermittent fasting will work best for me?

[@salpipanman8997]

Great information. ❤️

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gusabuga]

T1 Diabetics can *with doctor guidance" do intermittent fasting, I actually find that IF along with anti-inflamatoy, low-ish carb diet massively helps my A1c. With these two strategies, (along with regular exercise) I can keep my A1c in the mid 5 range.

[@dilshaddegum4938]

Great information

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Glad it was helpful!

[@trishmk5847]

Hello Dr Mary, I like to add one to two extended fasts (42 hour fast) per week for autophagy. Do you recommend doubling up on omega 3 following an extended fast?

[@deanaturchiano648]

I have a question about what you said about intermittent fasting helping with Alzheimer's, etc. this question is for my mom. What if she has to eat to take certain meds and this doesn't allow for the normal intermittent fasting time cycle? I'd really like to learn how to help her because the medications are causing too much weight gain and she is immobile for the most part.

[@cherrylopez7818]

What can I do when my chronic pain prevents me from doing cardio?

[@vickymainwood7483]

Know this information but love your energy and twist on clarifying further. 49$ / month and assuming American. Aside from nutrient rich foods with Omega 3, have you a "supplement" for those days of inavaiability ie) travel, grocery accessibility, etc.

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Our program is a ONE TIME FEE for lifetime access, not a subscription. I am sorry if that is not clear on the website.

[@kari-anneunderwood4401]

I appreciate your help and information about my inflammation program but I would love to have help with my acne and redness it's like a rash 24/7 how do I get rid of it HELP ME! please and thank you 😊. Is it caused of menopause.????

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Acne can get worse in perimenopause

[@colletteschroeder8124]

Mary if we already paid the 99 dollars and want the 49.99 how do we do that ?

[@jprimalani]

very interesting video would really like to work with you. Would this diet work with Asians? As our food is quite different

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

We have many asian students!

[@joycedigirolamo7082]

What's the difference between the Galveston diet and the Keto diet? I lost 70lbs on the Keto diet...got bored and wanted more variety...then gained back 20 lbs. I could use your help, but it sounds a lot like the Keto diet.

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Good question! We are very different than the "butter and bacon" Keto diet. Our plan focuses on an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition, which is so important as we age!

[@bbclose]

And the sick thing is if the government took away all these foods and additives, people would have a shit fit. I understand people want to be able to have choices, but the truth is many are not nutritionally educated, to know what they are consuming.

[@Elizabeth-yi4qr]

funny; a frozen sub sandwich ad just played mid-video

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Hahahahahaha

[@patricias4442]

Can fibriods cause difficulties in losing weight too??

[@73cidalia]

Your family needs genetic testing. I have a family history of familial adenomatous polyposis, which is high risk for colon cancer. My siblings and I were all tested. Two of us negative. My youngest sibling was positive and, in fact, had cancerous polyps removed at age 21. My negative test means that my children don't have to be tested (thankfully).

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Thanks for the info!

[@charlottestaraitis1273]

How is this different than a KETO diet?

[@pennylynch913]

Gday! Yes diet! Theres a doco "eating you alive" its amazing. Check it out. Gday doc! Xxx " forks over knives" doco is very good too. Its lovely to meet u doc!

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Nice to meet you too!

[@TessavandieKaap]

Is this a raw diet ? Is it good for vegans?

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

We do have vegan options, but it was not designed specifically for vegans and is not considered a raw diet.

[@higginsba]

What about oatmeal? I didn't see it mentioned to take or avoid, but unsweetened steel cut is meant to decrease cholesterol

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Steel cut oatmeal with nothing added is a whole grain and has great anti-inflammatory properties.

[@marygee3981]

❤Keto with a lot of meat😊

[@March5546]

I’m 43 & breastfeeding. Can I do this diet?

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

We don't have any data on what fasting might do to milk production. If your milk supply is well established (>2 months), you could give it a try and start fasting later.

[@March5546]

@@maryclairehavermd8473 thank you!

[@jprimalani]

the price is showing $74.99 not $49.

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Yes! It is an older video which had the price of the program at that time. We have increased the price as we have made several improvements over time- more videos, graphics, and important tools to help with your success. It is much more valuable now! It also include the Companion Guide and the Daily Recharge Journal which sold for $20 each. Please use the code SAVE20 at checkout if you are interested to save 20% off of the cost of the program this month!

[@jprimalani]

Mary Claire Haver, MD thank you would appreciate if you could even answer my earlier question ! Thanks

[@plant-basedpuertorican7272]

Any kind of meat is not good for you

[@maryclairehavermd8473]

Why do you say that? Everything in moderation

[@karentongate8852]

Can you just get your inflammation diet plan written I’m not very tech savy
