Really good information. I always thought I was a healthy eater but after watching your videos, I further cut back on sugar, eat a lot more fiber rich foods and take a probiotic. After a couple of weeks, my stomach is finally flattening again and I feel less stiff. I’m 61 and feel better than ever. Thanks!
Love your sailor mouth! I just started Galveston recently after gaining 30 pounds in two years and the dreaded two years post menopause. I felt out of control I can now think better in just a week. I just hope I can keep up! Keep spreading the good news!
I just found your channel and I LOVE it!!! Early menopause set in last year (before I turned 40), and it been ... interesting. It's nice to have a community to which to turn. 😊
So funny what you said about our hormones in post menopause, "We have none. Zero!" Your potty mouth cracks me up. Love your honesty as always. So much conflicting information about EVERYTHING! 😳
I agree with MANY MANY things you say but Lectins in night shades and other foods are VERY inflammatory for some. The minute I got off of tomatoes and high lectin and oxalate foods my RA went away!!
@@les9058 I don’t do gluten, dairy or lectins & oxilates, but within 24 hours of getting rid of tomatoes RA improved drastically. I was eating pico de gallo quiet a bit and my hand was in so much pain I couldn’t write. Stopped eating it and healed quickly.
Do you avoid potatoes too? I have RA and also quit nightshades and noticed immediate improvement as well. It’s the bell peppers that are the worst for me. Does each night shade affect you the same? What other foods do you recommend avoiding? I’m not 100% inflammation free so I know there’s something else missing. I don’t do dairy or gluten either. But if I eat a nightshade I have a really bad flare up so I know it’s a no go for me.
@@MichelleNovalee I only eat sweet potatoes. I have in the last couple months determined I have SIBO (small intestines bacterial overgrowth). Basically leaky gut. If you have a lot of foods that cause inflammation that turn into RA, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. you more than likely have SIBO. a lot of the population does and isn’t aware of it. Typical medical doctors don’t recognize it. They just keep prescribing meds instead of getting to the root cause. You will have to research with functional medicine doctors. All I know is that the minute I got certain foods out of my diet, especially vegetables. I was able to feel better and start losing weight. I’m mainly carnivore with a few things like berries, sweet potatoes, coffee. Hopefully when I heal my gut I can add other foods back in.
I love how real you are and not feeding us a bunch of "bullshit" Thank you for being honest and having a passion for Women's Menopause. I tell everyone to follow you :)
Hi! I was born just outside Houston, in Pasadena, and after many years away, have returned home to Texas. One of my absolute favorite fruits is figs. I'll do an arugula salad with figs, prosciutto, and goat cheese and just lemon and evoo dressing or figs drizzled with honey or dark chocolate. I also really love strawberries and blackberries. We used to pick blackberries by the bushel every summer.
Grateful I came across your videos! I was thinking my weight gain was because of my anti-depressant meds because they are known for weight gain so I cut back. I was also taking Emgality for migraines which has a side effect of weight gain as well. It worked miracles on my headaches but I seemed to gain more weight. I was always the skinny person growing up and even all the way into my mid forties then it just happened. I never put two and two together about my weight gain being because of menopause. I’m following your advice and I am going to purchase your program this weekend so I’m more excited!! I’m also seeing a doctor for HRT next week. I’m ready to wear anything but black pants again!
Have you tried Bone Broth 🦴 yet... It's been Sooo helpful for headaches And lose'n some of those WTH pds.... It's the quality protein and collagen My hair and Nails are revving... Make your own from grass fed beef Bones and I think you'll be amazed at reduction in meds you'll need... 🤫
I eat the top healthy foods you recommend and avoid the bad ones however I also recently discovered that nightshades cause extreme inflammation and flare ups of my rheumatoid arthritis. It’s sad because about 95% of people (including doctors) don’t believe it’s a real thing. But luckily I found a doctor who said it’s real and that according to studies, 10% of people with an autoimmune immune disease react negatively to nightshades. Like super negatively. I wish this got more attention. I wonder if it actually affects more people and they just don’t know. I mean, it’s like deadly for me. If I eat a raw bell pepper, I will wake up the next day with a swollen ankle like it was broken and I can’t walk!
Thank you for this Dr. Haver. I do know about whole wheat or whole grain. I try to stay away from enriched, wheat, enriched anything. But it’s hard to find good bread for my husband and my mother.
I did a food elimination diet to see why my mouth was getting sores, face turning red on my cheeks and around my mouth, and it was all night shades that caused it. It is a real thing for some people.
Great informatiob! It's good to have a foundation from which to start experimenting with what works and what doesn't. We have such different genetics around the world. I can't do any nightshades, for example, including potatoes. I have RA, and my joint pain is directly related to my digestion. I can't eat many of the things listed as anti-inflammatory as they irritate my intestinal lining. Like coffee, nightshades, dairy. Apple cider vinegar however is ok for me in small amounts, it helps my metabolism and joints. I put a teaspoon in a glass of water with geiund ginger and stevia, it's yummy.
hi there. i love your content. i'm a huge proponent of maintaining a diet focused on low inflammation. I was wondering what your thoughts are on stevia and monkfruit. in the beginning you talked about added sugars and that the body treats all of them the same way...but later you excluded them from the list when talking about artificial sugars. I get that they're not artificial, but they would still be an added sugar. So are they a yes or no?
Dr. You are very refreshing. You're clear, concise and medically on point! And I agree, those processed vegan burgers look and smell like canned Alpo! Gross! Eat a salad or, if a meat eater, eat a f*%$'ng burger! Love it, hilarious
my OB/GYN will not put me on any HRT until I have been without a cycle for a year and then he can measure my hormone levels and "balance them out." Time to see a new doc - so sad I wasted all this time waiting for that day.
What are your thoughts on juices etc that combat inflammation but then are High in carbs? (I've been juicing green apple/ pineapple/ ginger/ spinach/ celery/cucumber).
I'm just part of the way in and may have more comments and or questions. You mentioned smaked foods as a negative. You mention the glycation due to high temp cooking however smaking is low temp cooking for ling periods. Can you elaborate?
If you eat naturally and healthy with low sugar content and whole pieces of food Does one trip to a fast food restaurant each week throw off what you have eaten all week? I do one meal at fast food each week as a treat. Is that too much?
I went to the doctor they give me all kinds a test for my stomach and the test came out negative, this is what happens if Probably a processed food like a taco anyway then I get the runs?
If you disagree with eating veggie burgers what would you suggest because so far I have lost a total of 30lbs since December 1st from staying away from meat. Thanks in advance.
Making veggie burgers yourself from whole plant foods definitely wins, hands down, when comparing cholesterol, saturated fat, sodium, and fiber. Store bought veggie burgers still win in terms of cholesterol and fiber. Saturated fat is often equivalent, but sodium is often higher.
I have been on a carnivore diet for a year and none of my lab results indicate inflammation. I feel much better since throwing the vegetables in the garbage. There is also no evidence high saturated fats cause any disease much less death.
What are your thoughts on wild yam creams, Vitex berry, American ginseng, or any other herbal, alternative supplements ? Is there a test to take to know your estrogen/progesterone levels ? Should you know your levels before supplementing? I’m sweating rivers in the night. Pretty miserable. Thank you for being there for us! ! Amazing💃🏽❤️. (Im terrified of Hrt, because of cancer😕)
I am obsessed with dates and almond butter! I have 5 dates and 2 tbsp of almond butter for dessert every day. Is this doing more harm than good? It keeps my sweet tooth in check and truly look forward to it every day. I do not add sugar to anything else I eat.
Dried fruits like dates and rasins/prunes have concentrated sugars - so in moderation. Some almond butters have lots of added sugars, so make sure to read the labels!
You mentioned gut microbiology. What is your thoughts on glysophate? I Know organic is more expensive 🙄ridiculous that there is two levels of food. That being said glysophate kills the microbiology in the gut?! You are a curious person, look up Dr Zach Bush. I promised he won’t disappoint. I know telling people to buy organic is hard. Just curious on your thoughts?
@@maryclairehavermd8473 Wow Thank you for responding so fast to all my questions. You are a super🌟🥰💃🏽! I think you will love Zach Bush. Your videos are the best, relatable, educational and inspiring. I always think of our bodies as walking plants. When a plant needs water or the RIght nutrients it is so obvious. (Shorter life). We are the same. Right input = healthy human. In other words don’t be hopeless. There is hope. Sending you ❤️❤️❤️🥦🥑🥕🫐🌈🙏🏾
Rude to say goodbye to those who challenge science. Science today is bought and paid for number 1. Science changes number 2. Stick to your program and skip the snarky please.
I respect you for being a very smart woman. But please stop touching your hair 😫 Wear a ponytail or something I get so frustrated when I see you do that...with all respect 🙏
Could you please put your hair up away from your face? You have a lot of great info in your videos, but touching your hair so frequently drives me away.
I appreciate the information you are trying to convey, but please try to be more professional. There is no need for the filthy language. It only decreases your message.
Dr. Haver, wondering if you could please refrain from introducing yourself 5 times throughout your video and asking us to tap and follow you and promoting your diet/program as it is quite distracting from the delivery of your brilliant content and viewer concentration.
Agree. It is very neurotic and distracting. Not impressed with the potty mouth for a 'doctor' either and the super thirsty push for likes and shares. Shameless. Leaving this channel to follow a real doctor who doesn't wear scrubs but working from home. Suspect.
Don’t apologize for cussing! If someone is offended they can go somewhere else! We need you and the information you provide us…thank you!!❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻💃🏼

You may be able to add beans back in as it may have been the reduction of oxalates and night shades that helped you

Yes of course! I use them sparingly when I break my fast.
Hi love your videos! Can you have a lot of inflammation but it not show up on blood work?
I love the Cajun DNA remark, my Cajun sister !!
What about white rice?
Thank you for this. How about the sugars from dried fruits like dates or mango? Should I limit those too?
Dried fruits should be enjoyed in moderation as they drying process concentrates the natural sugars. It is always better to eat the whole fruit!

Diarrhea is usually a sign of gut inflammation, likely the processed foods are causing this. I hope you feel better soon!
You recommend to eat full fat yogurt and that causes inflamation in the body
Oh hey I didn't hear You mention Splenda Maladrexton lol you know what I mean .
But , I'm assuming that too no good

If you have pcos what foods should you stay away from, plz?
Check out our website for foods that lower blood sugars/insulin levels. www.galvestondiet.com
This does not apply for Hashimoto's patients who need to be on AIP diet (where us no coffee, no grains..)
Ok. I'm throwing out the impossible burgers I bought at Costco.
Good idea! Just eat the veggies!
Yup… just eat the real burger or the real vegetables
Tomatoes
What about people who swear by the carnivore diet? Can you teach on the carnivore diet?
What do you think about drinking ISOTONIC SEA WATER that has al the minerals all the amino acids of the periodic table? (Ref. Rene Quinton)
I have never heard of this.
@@maryclairehavermd8473 I hope it gets your interest an you can rersearch it. As a first aproach look for Rene Quinton
More importantly what can you eat?
Whole grains, lean meats, fruits, veggies, legumes!
I have been on a carnivore diet for a year and none of my lab results indicate inflammation. I feel much better since throwing the vegetables in the garbage. There is also no evidence high saturated fats cause any disease much less death.
What about salt? I can have dairy but it seems like the salt inflames me? Can that be a thing?
Salt can cause swelling in many people.
@@maryclairehavermd8473 but what about dairy?
Couldn’t nightshades be inflammatory if there is an intolerance or allergy?

Wild yam creams are not bioavailable. The will do nothing to change any hormone levels.
No dates or raisins right?
in moderation!

Thank you!
How do you feel about semiglutide? Uugh so many are doing these shots to koose weight!

There isn’t nothing to eat in this world . You about said no to everything.
Not true!
I'm curious why the FDA allows artificial colors, flavors, or more than moderate amounts of sugar in our foods
