Summary
Dr. Mary Claire Haver, a board-certified OB-GYN with over 30 years in medicine and a #1 New York Times bestselling author, joins Post Run High to break down everything women were never taught about their bodies—from their cycle to fertility to perimenopause and menopause.
In this episode, we unpack why women’s health has been historically misunderstood, how to actually understand your cycle, what’s normal (and what’s not), and the critical signs most women are told to ignore. We talk about birth control, fertility timelines, hormonal health, and why so many women only learn about their bodies when something goes wrong.
This conversation isn’t just for women trying to conceive—it’s for anyone who wants to understand their body earlier, advocate for their health, and build a foundation for long-term well-being.
Because your period is a vital sign—and your health should never be an afterthought.
