About this listen

A patient-proven eating and lifestyle program to balance nutrition and sustain weight lossincluding more than 40 delicious recipes and 6 weeks of meal planstailored to women in midlife.

“I haven’t changed my diet or exercise habits and yet the scale keeps moving in the wrong direction. What’s going on?!”

Time and again, this is the question Dr. Mary Claire Haver’s patients asked. At first, a practicing OB/GYN, she’d dutifully advise what she’d been taught in medical school: eat less and work out more. But that standard advice didn’t solve the problem because back then she—and so many other doctors—hadn’t taken into account the physiological factors affecting women. They tend to store fat, they can have a hard time accessing that stored fat as active fuel, and their hormonal fluctuations in midlife exacerbate the situation.

Then, Dr. Haver found herself in this exact predicament with the added issues of low energy, hot flashes, and brain fog. So she set out to develop a nutrition program that would meet her own and her patients’ needs once and for all. Now, nearly 100,000 women have found success in Dr. Haver's unique plan for permanent weight loss and reduced menopausal symptoms by following her three interconnected strategies:

  • Fuel Refocus: Starting in their thirties, women need a specific ratio of healthy fats, lean protein, and quality carbohydrates to efficiently burn fat as fuel.
  • Intermittent Fasting: 16 hours of fasting with a flexible 8-hour eating window coaxes the body to draw energy from stored fat and decreases inflammation.
  • Anti-inflammatory Nutrition: Limit added sugars, processed carbs, chemical additives and preservatives and layer in anti-inflammatory foods like leafy greens, olive oil, berries, nuts, and tomatoes.

With these three principles working together, women can finally lose stubborn weight as well as enjoy newfound energy, better sleep, less brain fog, and fewer hot flashes. Featuring forty delicious recipes, six weeks of easy-to-follow meal plans, shopping lists, and success stories of women who have changed their lives on this plan, The Galveston Diet—named for Dr. Haver's hometown—will revolutionize the conversation around weight loss for women, with health benefits that last a lifetime.

This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of recipes, meal plans, and other resources from the book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

“Dr. Haver is an excellent motivational speaker and educator, and her passion for helping women find nutritional and lifestyle solutions to counter the negative effects of menopause is inspiring. The validation of common hormonal symptoms and commiseration with weight gain challenges, especially from a physician with similar struggles, is likely a rare and comforting experience for many women.” Forbes Health

Diet book

The content of this book is really interesting, but it’s mostly about losing weight not so much of a menopause.

Clear and easy to understand, very informative

I love how charismatic the author is in reading her own book, she made it very enjoyable to listen to. The information in the book is simple to digest and extremely informative and gives such a sense of relief that I have not in fact lost my mind. This book gives more than hope that we as women can take control of our health by change of lifestyle. Change is not always easy but very worth the effort. However the Galveston diet is easy to implement, and sustainable. Thank you for this book, looking forward to the next one coming out in a few weeks.

Anti-inflammatory and losing weight book for long-term great health

An informative book that provides the way to living a more abundant and a healthier lifestyle. I have done a quite a bit of research on the anti-inflammatory diet and it is imperative for reducing pain and possibilities of a heart attack. I know that Mary is experienced and knowledgeable in women’s health. This book provides an in-depth helpful guideline for all women, but specifically peri-menopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women. Following the Galveston Diet and exercising will balance out hormones and improve women’s lives. Women can gain back their youthfulness and vitality and become a stronger more powerful being. To achieve these great things, you need to be disciplined and want this for yourself. I know I do.

This is a game changer!

I’ve been following Dr. Mary Claire Haver for a long time, but procrastinated on buying the book. After reading the book and replacing the foods in my house with the ingredients she recommends, I’m losing weight and have tons of energy. So happy I finally got started!

Absolutely love Dr Haver !

She is so informative! All her HRT advice has been revolutionary for me and many others ! Love this book.. it reminds us of many of the things we know we should be doing! Nice to have a real MD giving advice ! NOT a Celeb or some “healer “ “ naturopathic “dr” .
