"Osteoporosis is real and 50 percent of women will have an osteoporotic fracture before they die. If you fall and break your hip, your chance of death in one year is 30 percent with surgery." - Dr. Mary Claire Haver

In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Mary Claire Haver delivers crucial insights about women's health that challenge conventional thinking about fitness and aging. She reveals how the focus on being thin in our 20s and 30s could be setting women up for serious health challenges later in life, explaining that muscle mass and bone density peak around age 30. Through compelling medical evidence and personal experience, Dr. Haver emphasizes the critical importance of strength training and protein intake, particularly as women approach menopause, when the loss of muscle and bone accelerates dramatically.

Dr. Haver also explores the complex relationship between menopause and major life changes, including divorce. She shares fascinating insights about how this transitional period often becomes a catalyst for women to prioritize their own wellbeing, sometimes for the first time. Drawing from her clinical experience and conversations with divorce attorneys, she unpacks the surprising statistics about marriage satisfaction between genders and the various factors that contribute to relationship changes during menopause, including depression, cognitive changes, and sexual health concerns.
