🚨 Big News for Women’s Health!
After more than 20 years, the FDA is finally removing the outdated black box warnings from menopause hormone therapy (HRT) products.
This is a huge win for women everywhere — and for science.
For decades, fear and misinformation kept millions from the benefits of hormone therapy.
Now, the message is clear: women started on HRT within 10 years of menopause (and before age 60), have a reduction in all-cause mortality and fractures, and may lower your risk of:
❤️ Heart disease (by up to 50%)
🧠 Alzheimer’s (by up to 35%)
💪 Bone fractures (by up to 60%)
What else is new?
Two new treatments were also approved — a generic version of Premarin and a non-hormonal option for hot flashes.
👉 But let’s keep this in perspective.
This news is a great step forward in ending the fear-mongering around hormone therapy, especially bioidentical HRT (BHRT). Still, not all hormones are created equal.
⚠️ Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to what your body naturally makes — that’s why they deliver the best results for symptom relief, longevity, and disease prevention.
⚠️ Premarin is not bioidentical. It’s made from horse urine and contains estrogens that don’t exist in the human body.
⚠️ Oral contraceptives and other non-bioidentical HRT can still carry risks. Don't confuse this messaging with all forms of HRT.
⚠️ Non-hormonal drugs may help with hot flashes and are good options for those with contraindications, but they don't protect your heart, brain, or bones like bioidentical estradiol can.
This is progress, but also a reminder to stay informed, ask questions, and choose what truly supports your health and longevity. 💪✨
