The FDA Just Removed the Black Box Warning from Hormone Therapy: What You Need to Know

Описание: This is a monumental moment for women’s health. After two decades of fear-based headlines, the FDA has officially removed the black box warning from hormone therapy labels. But what does this mean for the millions of women entering menopause or currently suffering from symptoms?

In this video, we dive deep into the history of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), the incomplete data that led to the strongest possible FDA warning, and the human impact of leaving over 10 million women untreated. We discuss why timing, dose, and delivery methods—like patches, gels, and sprays—completely change the risk profile for recently menopausal women.

It’s time to move past the fear and look at the updated science. Whether you are in perimenopause or postmenopause, this shift represents a move toward evidence-based, individualized, and compassionate care.

In this video, you will learn:
The history of the early 2000s WHI study and its impact.
The difference between broad warnings and nuanced medical data.
Why the "window of opportunity" and delivery method (transdermal vs. oral) matter.
How to advocate for yourself in the doctor's office.
