Unpaused is supported by Claude from Anthropic. Midlife comes with questions that deserve more than surface level searching. Maybe you're trying to make sense of conflicting research on hormone therapy, or you've got a stack of lab results and want to understand what your numbers mean in context, not just whether they're in range, but what the patterns might suggest over time. Claude is an AI that thinks through those questions with you. It doesn't just hand back a summary. It helps you dig into the research, pushes back when the evidence is mixed, and cites its sources so you can see the receipts and where the info was pulled from. You can now even connect your Apple Health data to Claude, which means Claude can help you understand fitness patterns, track progress towards goals, and visualize trends with native charts. So when you're prepping for an appointment, or just trying to figure out why your sleep has been so off the past week, Claude has the full picture, not just the first Google result. Try Claude for free at claude.ai forward slash unpaused and see why problem solvers choose Claude as their thinking partner.

While the GR Sport model, coming soon, boasts a net combined 320 horsepower in a plug-in hybrid drivetrain with a GR tuned suspension for even more responsive, exciting drive.

I'm a board certified obstetrician, gynecologist and certified menopause practitioner, and I'm so excited to tell you about my new podcast, Unpaused, launching October 21st. What I hear from women every day is they want more for themselves. Yet here's the reality. As women, we've been expected to serve and fade. We were raised to believe that our values lie in how much we give, how quiet we stay, and how well we put everyone else's needs before our own. And then, when we hit midlife, the world looks away. But women are waking up, and they're saying hell no. That's why I'm bringing you Unpaused. This is not just another women's health podcast. It is a place to have bold, unfiltered conversations about what it really takes for women to thrive in the second half of life. We'll be talking about everything that matters. Your hormones, yes. But also your identity. Your financial power, your relationships, and the tools you need to build the life you want. Our guests include medical experts, celebrities, and powerhouse women living these experiences every day. Unpaused is about reclaiming our health span. Not just the number of years we live, but the number of years we live well. I created Unpaused because I have a vision for something better, and I know I'm not alone. If you're ready to write your own story, follow and listen to Unpaused with me, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, available wherever you get your podcasts.
