unPAUSED with Dr. Mary Claire Haver

Dr. Mary Claire Haver became something of a phenomenon in the menopause space through her bestselling book and massive social media following, and unPAUSED is her long-form podcast extension of that work. Launched in late 2025, the show already has nearly 950 ratings with a 4.8-star average, which tells you something about how hungry women are for this kind of content. Dr. Haver is a board-certified OB-GYN and certified menopause practitioner who brings an unfiltered, sometimes blunt approach to conversations about midlife health. New episodes drop every Tuesday and feature extended interviews with medical experts, CEOs, and public figures. Naomi Watts has been on to talk about her menopause brand and HRT journey. Dr. Louisa Nicola came on to discuss brain changes during perimenopause. The show is explicitly tagged as having explicit content, which gives you a sense of how candid these conversations get -- no tip-toeing around libido loss, vaginal dryness, or the mental health impacts of hormonal shifts. The central thesis is about reclaiming your healthspan, meaning not just how long you live but how well you live during those years. If you are in your late 30s through your 60s and feeling like the medical system has not taken your symptoms seriously, this podcast feels like validation. Dr. Haver does not just acknowledge the gaps in menopause care; she gives you specific language to use with your doctor and actionable steps to take.
