I am 55 now and postmenopausal but I had a hell of a time at 45. I went into the doctor with hot flashes and feeling kind of crazy and they blew me off. The doc told me I was too young to have those symptoms. I’ve been living with a lot of craziness over the last 10 years. Thank you for helping me see that I wasn’t crazy just completely unbalanced hormonally the next step is to buy your book . Thank you for being our advocate.
Sadly doctors are clueless when it comes to menopause. 45 is not too early. A lot of women go into perimenopause in their mid-30’s. I was 44. I finished at 52. I’m now 60.
Thank you for your comment! ❤This is my same story. Iam so thankful to have found this wonderful Dr. 😊
I've been watching a lot of videos that women have been struggling with their weight during perimenopause and menopause. Ever since I've been going to Perry menopause. My weight has been very, very low. So does anybody have any recommendations about low weight and having a problem gaining it? It's very rare for someone to be able to be low weight and not be able to gain weight. I'm struggling with it for sure.
@@tabithawardleonard8908, I think perimenopause affects everyone differently. I could not gain any weight before perimenopause. I was extremely thin so I know how you feel. Then menopause changed all that. I do know there are women just like yourself who have problems gaining weight in perimenopause. Keep searching. It all is very hormonal.
@@crh251Thank you so much for that advice and sharing that. With me it's nice to know that other women out there have the same problem. I have had a high metabolism for a long time. But now trying to get the weight on so that I can get estrogen into my body naturally is really hard. I'm like everybody else. And I'm not hungry all day long. But I have to force myself to eat sometimes.
58 years old - 0.6923 waist to hip; 120/60 blood pressure , 46 rising heart rate Done DAILY 30g x 3 meals protein, walk 30 min as fast as I can, weight train 3x week and well rested. Dont drink, smoke, eat highly processed foods. Im working everyday to think and do differently. Stay strong, Everyone. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
GOD BLESS you! I'm 73, 20 years post. There has NEVER been an advocating doctor, male or female, who addressed our women issues. I wish this information had been available during my years of HELL. I was repeatedly told it was in my head. My husband declared me insane & cold. When on HRT it helped. But there was not enough information to know what was going on.
Sisters listen to Dr. Marie Claire.
So glad I found you!! I thought I was going crazy, turns out I'm just a woman. Thank you for being our Captain on this Menopausal Cruise
I'm 53 and started having heart issues because of my weight. Fell into that "eat carbs - gain weight" trap and totally cut out carbs, which made my health worse. My kids gifted me the aspect health sensor, and I've been tracking my health there. The strain on my heart has decreased and I've dropped 4 lbs🙏🙏
Keep at it Eleanor! Good for you 😊
Dudes need to listen to you, so they can comprehend what their ladies are going through. Oh how wonderful the modern woman can get this information.
Visceral Fat is a serious issue on Pre Menopause & Menopause! Thanks for educating all of us ❤
What do you think of the REMS Echolight test for bone integrity for osteoperosis? There are only a few locations in US. May be worth setting up in Fwd, TX?
I'm 53 & have always been fit/active, I've done intermittent fasting naturally (at least 12hrs) all my life & have been the same size since high-school. During perimenopause I noticed my body fat seemed up a tiny bit (figured I needed to get back to strength training). 1 year into menopause I noticed a definite layer of FAT (tummy/torso). I've never had fat across my ribcage WTF??? My weight/size was the same but body composition was definitely different!!! I had been taking DIM & an phytoestrogen capsule - I FELT great(no hotflashes), like my hormones must be balanced.
THANKS to your info- I decided to do HRT (not wait until I feel like I need it). My doc said I was pretty balanced, estrogen was low on the edge of the normal range.
After 2 full months on .05 estrogen & 100mg progesterone- my excess fat has MELTED OFF!!! I changed literally nothing so I know it was 100% hormone related!!! I am getting back to strength training asap 💪 ❤
I've always slept well but I do sleep way deeper now!! THANK YOU Dr.Haver❤❤❤❤
I have been using cronometer food tracker for almost 3 years and it's a game changer at showing me my macro and micro nutrients break down. I focus on my calories, my protein intake and fiber intake. I'm 40 years old and my average fiber intake with most days is 50-65g of fiber...some days I get up to 75g of fiber 🙌 and I have never been more regular than I am right now. Colon cancer is high in my family and I'm not going to be another statistic with it....
I follow an 80/20 rule approach with 80% whole clean foods and 20% "fun" foods or treats....and since tracking my macros over the last 3 years I have lost 35 pounds....slow and steady wins the race. I need to have my visceral fat levels checked but that waist to hip ratio is a good starting point.
Great ideas! Thank you for mentioning this tool and the grams of fiber. I appreciate these insights.
I’m going to get a bone density test soon….I have RA….you have no idea how much sense you are making for me! 🙌🏽❤️🇨🇦
I wish you would read THE BIG FAT SURPRISE & the Great Cholesterol Myth and stop recommending lean meat.
Our healthy ancestors - my great grandparents and older - cooked in lard and prized fat and fatty organs above all other foods.
We can agree to disagree on the importance of so much fiber, but the jury is in on fat. It is SO necessary for women.
Impressive that you can talk and stay on that high incline on the treadmill!! Personally, as an exercise enthusiast it motivates and encourages me. Love it ❤️!
I am on Team Mary Claire, she is hear to help us....she is in this fight wirh us❤
QQ: I am 61 years old…, everything you talk about is/was happening to me. At one point, I was sent to a RA Doc who said I had RA and needed to get on methotrexate, I was 51 yrs old. I REFUSED not believing that was my problem. I educated myself (wish you were around). I changed my diet, took Bromelain and turmeric to get rid of the inflammation. I ate lean (still do). 10 years later, I have no pain, no RA. My biggest problem now. I gained 40 lbs and CAN NOT lose a lb. I gained it fast and it’s STUCK, :(.
HELP.
Will HRT help me?!?
WHY was this NEVER suggested to me??
I was always Lean and Mean with a hard core…. had a four-pack, LOL, now I am Fat and Pudgy. I know it’s NOT heathy, I hate it!!!!
I just want to be in balance. If I am depleted in something…, let’s fix it.
Thanks for your book and your TH-cam.
I'm exactly in the same boat as you. I'd like to know the answer to this question too.
Same boat here.
Have you tried building muscles via resistance training and higher protein intake? That helps.
Same And I'm a beast in terms of my heart rate biking to the gym, doing a TRX class, doing a Pilates reformer class, playing some pickleball, going into the pool, a cold splurge and a hot tub and the sauna in one day and working out four times a week like that can't budge I no longer have a waste and I've always had a waist and always been curvy and always been able to lose weight fast I believe I have muscle strength cuz I can go through the classes but I have this layer of fat around my middle and over my body I feel like I'm a man's way and I'm like 15 3 I need to be 140 and I can't get to it healthy blood pressure healthy sugar It's unbelievable I need HRT for real
Smallest part of waist divided by widest part of waist equals your Visceral Fat.
.86 and up you have elevated visceral fat.
Vegetarian since 2009, vegan since 2017. Lost 80 pounds. Best health ever.
Mine us 28 ÷ 38 = .7
I love how you are so real.❤
Thank you for what you do for women!!!
My symptoms when this wickedness started 3 years ago:
My mouth felt weird.
Went to the dentist, he confirmed it's HORMONES!
Fatigue
Bled for 2 weeks a month, which developed into Anemia.
When my period stopped, that's when my crazy symptoms began.
Right now, feeling in my fingers are altered. Can't grab and hold things like I used to. It's so irritating!
My knees and feet ache.
My feet swell.
Some food trigger hot flashes, which I don't normally get.
I want my feelings in my hands back!
Can you open a clinic on the East Coast? PLEASE
I’m so glad I found your channel. You’re a voice of reason in a sea of misinformation and confusion. I am in my mid 40s, with pcos and adhd, and I have a 42 BMI. I have so much working against me as far as fat loss goes and your advice gives me hope that I can still make my body healthier and live longer even if I never reach a “normal” BMI. Thank you so much.
I love that you are walking while you share your message. Demonstrating that you can multitask to get movement jn !
I am 47 and experiencing some changes in my monthly cycles…sometimes late, sometimes early, and they are getting heavier. I have trouble sleeping during my period and get hot during the first few days of the cycle.Also, my ovaries ache at different times of the month.
I’ve noticed over the past 3 to 4 months that my digestion is off during ovulation and during my period. Is there a connection?
Thank you in advance for your help. I have your book and watch as many of your videos here on TH-cam as I can. You are amazing!
Me too my digestive system and my menstruation are tied together
I’m glad I ran into you. I’m complicated since I’ve had breast cancer at 42 and had my uterus taken out at 49 for heavy bleeding”adenomyosis. I took my measurements and was a .9🥺. I’m going to hit a gym. I’m 53 now and definitely feeling the effects! Thank you for putting this stuff out there. I work on labor and delivery and will start asking my provider questions. Maybe one of the docs I work with has beefed up in this info.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for teaching us!
Just saw your interview on Diary of a CEO, brilliant! Thank you! So glad to have found you!! 💕
You Rock! Love your info! ❤
Very helpful..thank you
Yes we educated about it through you
Thanks so much for all you do and for your passion for this topic. Literally learning how to deal by watching these and reading your book ❤️
You are God sent , because I’ve been suffering from this issue.
Scrolling the web you popped up. I’m going to try this waist hip .
Thank you for sharing your knowledge/expertise. I find it very useful and informative!
I'd like to know if I'm still a candidate for HRT, I'm 62? My biggest symptom was weight gain. I was a backpacker, very active... then had a heart condition. I kind of plugged along with all symptoms. Now it's just weight...30lbs to loose. I still walk daily. It's my gut that is horrible. I wish I found you 10 years ago
Thank you
Those glasses are beautiful on you!
I had a DexaFit scan to check my visceral fat in June. I had 2.17 pounds of visceral fat. I’m working on it constantly to get it down further. It’s very stubborn.
I'm 57 almost 58, offered anti depressants. Giant weight gain, aches and pains, headaches, always exhausted irritable.
Right at 0.84 and wanting to improve
Please continue the advice is hip waist ratio under 7. Thanks
Hi I’ve been following you for a while and I would like to clarify what I think I’m hearing if your post menopause like 15 yrs it’s to late for HRT? And can we help naturally with diet to implement some additional hormone help??? Thanks for what you do ❤
I clean house and still hairdresser I excise all the time but the heat when you work out but thank you for sharing
What ?. I don't quite get what you mean. Are words missing ?
Please give info on best ways to reduce visceral fat
Must say i am so grateful for you! 56 Post menopausal 19 months. Just had blood work done and estrogen/ progesterone almost nil. I used to be 5'8 and slim but now rapidly gaining weight although eating low cal nutritious meals. Will going on an estradiol patch and progesterone pill eliminate the weight gain? Will i need testosterone as well? Much of the other symptoms are bothersome but i manage. Shout out from Canada!!❤
It won't by itself. But it will stop it from packing on in your waist.
I was slim and trim too until perimenopause. I put on 30 pounds so quickly. I did go on hormones mainly for sleep in post menopause, but honestly they have not helped much with my weight. I just had a full thyroid panel done and am waiting on those results because I am having a tough time losing that perimenopause weight.
Oddly enough estradiol makes me gain weight, I feel heavy and big around my abdomen
I am fit , 19 % body fat postmenopausal and every time I try to go on estradiol patch my abdomen gets big and weight gain 5 pounds
Some is water but some if fat abdominal and very difficult to get rid off
I am on oral progesterone as well but that makes it even worse
Very bloated, gaining weight not matter how much I exercise or little food intake
Never had this issue before
Even after pregnancies I came back to my normal weight with no issue
Very frustrating
@@marzenarongione4968, I’m curious, but are you in perimenopause or are you in post menopause?
@@crh251 post
I am 57
Exercise every day
Eat supper clean diet
No previous weight issues
Hello Dr. How do you know if the symptoms I am having is related to menopause or Thyroid? I have both
Oh - regardless of her caloric intake - I wondered about that because if anything I don’t eat enough. I have ADHD and often forget to eat. I do eat fairly healthy but just not regularly.
I’ve heard that sprinting exercise is the best whole body engagement for burning visceral fat and replace muscle in our entire body by sprinting, intense cycling or intense swimming. Dr Sean Omara explains the science of it and how jogging or cross country doesn’t work for eliminating visceral fat and building entire body muscle mass.
20 percent of humans don't have fast twitch muscle fibers so can't sprint so what are we supposed to do? lol
What do you feel is the best way to test
hormones?
I just got test results back from my gynecologist. We had discussed before blood work that options were progesterone cream if needed and for any type of estrogdal that I wanted to patch I did not want to do anything orally. Supposably my one ovary is still working post hysterectomy 11 years. Her suggestion was to put me on birth control and just start it during my cycle. I can't believe she is saying this she's the one who did my surgery and I have not had a cycle for 11 years and she wants to put me on birth control I am not very happy at all. Waiting for the office to mail me my test results and then I'm actually thinking about going to a different doctor and see what they say.
What so you do about bone loss.. I have started to get hip problems
Two questions: started hrt pellets at 60 after the weight gain, and all the other symptoms. Has helped a lot - any special info for me why it might include testosterone? Are there factors other than hypoactive sexual desire disorder? They said they do it will all their hrt women- related to that - any info on how to takeoff the extra 25 lbs since I started hrt? I can tell I have inflammation too - and do most of the things on your list. Enjoying finding you!
What about DHEA supplementation?
Hi Doc do have recommended Dr.in Canada 🇨🇦 Toronto please
This is a resource that should help you find a doctor in Canada. It is under the resources tab. menopausefoundationcanada.ca/

When should hrt be started I’m a 46 year old perimenopausal woman.
I started losing hair, started taking minoxidil, developed palpitations went to primary and a cardiologist and they both are like why would you take minoxidil? They acted like I was nuts for wanting to reverse hair loss. Dismissed my other symptoms (not sleeping, hot flashes, feeling crazy). I need to find a Mary Claire near me…I’m 49….
Symptoms- tummy weight gain, fatigue, gassy 😮, forgetful….. 51
Is there any good Doctors in Arizona to treat Perimenopause??
I'm 64 you. I visit Houston often. Am I still a candidate for HRT? Thank you doctor
What about smart scales, such as Garmin or GE brand? Do they give a somewhat accurate reading of visceral fat, muscle mass, body fat, etc?
Would you talk about surgical menopause? I was 46, my sister 42. I had 2 children, she never married, no children. I had less symptoms, she still does at 57 yo. Both of us obese. I’m T2 but working on it
Can I use stevia in black coffee and not break my intermittent fasting period?
how do you fast if you have to work out early in the morning and want to get beneficial protein soon after working out?
Love you Dr. Mary Clare. I want to make an appointment with your office. Do I just goggle you to get your office?
Dizziness and vertigo
I have a question about the waist to hip ratio:- does this still work for a person that’s very long waisted? I have short legs and a very long torso, so have always been able to carry weight easily without it showing too much ….So even if my waist to hip ratio is within safe range, I’m still concerned as I do have belly fat that jiggles on my abdomen since perimenopause no matter how much I work out and eat healthy.
Hi, love your videos! I'm 50 and Peri. Had partial hysterectomy but have ovaries that are still functioning. I'm on Estradiol patch, no progesterone due to not having a uterus and on a small amount of Testosterone gel. I'm heavier than ever but I know there are some things I need to adjust re food & exercise. I think my Estradiol patch might be too high dose since not menopausal yet so might get that lowered but my question is the Testosterone. I know you're leary of Testosterone from some of your videos. Im just curious if you yourself take any Testosterone or do you ever prescribe it to your patients? Trying to figure out if I should stay on it? Thanks for your time!
She talks about the only cases she'll prescribe testosterone for - go to 41:50 into the video. It doesn't sound like she takes it herself.
i’ve been told that my estradiol patch (in US) only comes in .025 mcg, .03mcg, or .05mcg…(1) what patch do you have that comes in .5? and (2) what min dosage provides all the benefits (beyond that of finding what helps me with my symptoms)?
Working with a compounding pharmacist.. what are your thoughts on that? Results are based on saliva test.
Marie, I also have very narrow hips and have always had no waist even when young and only 50kg! Is there another indicator other than hip:waist ratio?
I have the same problem
I really want to take HRT but with Histamine Intolerance and possible MCAS I don't know if it's good idea. And no MCAS specialist will take me as a pt in Ontario. 🙁
You mentioned it is important to take probiotics. Is there a probiotic that you would recommend for someone with a history of SIBO???
Its tougher on us apple shaped girls thats where we get alot of the fat stored
My LDL cholesterol suddenly jumped
I must say your info is wonderful. But if a person is suffering with gut issues, then some people will benefit from eliminating some fruits, veges, processed foods, some dairy because they are high in FODMAPS. Causing inflammation, brain fog, depression etc.
What if I have hypothyroidism and also in perimenopause? The symptoms are so confusing.
I keep hearing different things about skin is it good to exfoliate? Ive heard your suppose to and ive seen your videos where you just wash your face and use retinol? Im just curious. Im 48 and menopausal. Thank you so much
67 y.o. Total hysterectomy at 49. Menopausal on estradot patches. Auto-immune diseases of sclerosing alopecia including arthritis, which is a driving force of inflammation. With hypocholesterolaemia , fatty liver disease.So how can one reduce visceral fat when I have no control over to cure these inflammatory diseases. I have a normal bone density. Past history of frozen shoulder.
I'm 51! Been in Periomenopause since i was 45. One of my worst symptom is my hair thinning in the crown. Does the hair return to normal, once i hit menopause?
I am on Immunosuppressive meds for Kidney) pancreas transplant for 3 yrs and 3 months ago started having extreme shoulder and elbow pain that hasnt stopped yet. My dic us younger and doesn't seem to be listening..... I'm 43yrs old😭😭😭
I’d love to get some tips for how to find a physician who can help me navigate similar things in my health. My primary care dr is definitely not that person.
Could you PLEASE 🎉talk more about incontinence and progestrone. You always buzz by it. Does progestrone help you sleep? I have chronic insomnia. Are you supposed to be on progestrone if your on estrogen?
Anyone got any recs on probiotics
I had my bone scan and asked about visceral fat results and was told that was a separate scan... the one I was having was only seeing how brittle my bones were and whether I was low in vitamins C and D. I was told I needed more C....do you suppose there are results and I can still get a report from that scan?
I also have an Inveifit scale which measures visceral fat..bmi..water..ect. my number on visceral fat is 14. I'll do the W-H measures tomorrow and see where I need to be
Can i receive estrogen in perimenopause?
Yes, Dr Haver recommended Midi Health online
Makes me anxious to watch your video while you are excersizing and hard breathing etc.
Please do videos when you are calmed
This woman is busy. We are lucky she's taking the time out to even do these videos.
@@user-rr3sh3yn6v she gets money from posting videos ok!
It is not like she just post because she is nice. Don't you know how social media works!!???
Get updated
It would be better if u were not on a treadmill discussing these issues.
That’s an odd reaction to this video.
She is doing great things for us women. If you do not have anything positive to say don't comment
Is it true that if you experience breast soreness when starting hormone therapy, that you get breast cancer?
I have a question, my labs show possibly hypothyroidism, and low levels of all sex hormones. I am starting bioidentical HRT. Is this ok if I have hypothyroidism? My rheumatologist tested me for autoimmune and everything is normal except my ANA is positive.
At 54 I was in menopause without issues and went on HRT. At 62 I went off HRT AND I’m experiencing menopause blast. I’ve gain 30 lbs, joint ache, anxiety, hot flashes like crazy. I asked to go back on and the nurse practitioner refused. I’m taking supplements - Estroven and Aswaganda. Doesn’t seem to be helping. I don’t know what to do.
Note I went off of HRT at 60.
❤❤❤❤
Im interested in the estradiol patch. Im on the estrogen cream inserted vaginally and i don't like it. Sometimes i get irritation.
I’ve been on the estradiol patch for a little over two years. I love it!
Can anyone recommend an affordable treadmill please?
Craigslist
Can I use Estrogen at 45 years old?
Yes, Dr Haver recommended Midi health online for exactly this ...
Is BCP also used as a HRT?
Are you talking about Bpc-157 my friend? It's magical, no doubt but no it's not HRT.
No i mean birth control pills
@@the3agirls, some doctors will give out birth control pills for menopause, but it’s not the best choice. Seeing a menopause specialist is better because they know what to do. Unfortunately most doctors know nothing about menopause so they hand out other things instead.
@@crh251 EXACTLY
What type of doctor? Functional Medicine Dr? Regular insurance Dr? I am so tired all the time. I get hot flashes and night sweats. My back hurts and I feel like I'm changing.
She recommended Midi health online
When talking about fat it would be useful to include lipodema, which affects over 10% of women.
Like like like ❤
My waist always measures 11 inches smaller than my hips, so I always come out to about .75. Does that mean Ill probably never have visceral fat or do I need a different test. I am 61, weigh 155 and 5'-6".
I am about the same as you.,I was thinking same also..
HELP..I HAD BREAST CANCER at 38 which wad positive for Estrogen& progesterone so had to have Total overectomy & double nastectony..Now 17 yrs later STILL NO ONE WILL GIVE ME estrogen or progesterone therapy..they WONT EVEN DISCUSS..I was able to just now get my Dr. To prescribe bio identical testodterone. Im willing to lie about my cancer but once they do a blood test they now i have no ovaries & wznt to know why.
Myalloy may do it for you
I have no hips, so my ratio
Is awful. I def have visceral fat… What can I do?
I’ve listened to her other videos, and she mentions three important things.
1) No more than 25 grams per day of added sugar. This is not including any natural sugars from fruits or vegetables.
2) Have more than 25 grams of fiber everyday.
3) Practice intermittent fasting daily.
Look at Melissa Neill. She advocates weight training and protein.
I hurt all over… almost all the time. It’s the worst.
So women genetically inclined to have extra large butts and their relative waist size is 'small' in comparison are automatically healthier? A female could weigh 300lbs- but as long as her butt is extra large- it's all good?
What about females who are not inclined towards large butts and hips? Basically built more like a man with a rack?
70. 20 y old bones. Depression wt gain
I’ve been working out for the past few years. I hired a personal trainer and eat small meals. And I can’t loose weight for the life of me 😢😢😢😢.
Small meals? Instead of portion size focus on nutrients. Drop sugar, refined carbohydrates and ultra-processed foods. Eat the right things and eat till full. Stop snacking between meals etc.
