Let’s talk facts. According to the preliminary results from our menopause survey, 54% of women said they don’t have enough information to manage their menopause symptoms effectively. That’s more than half of us navigating brain fog, fatigue, night sweats, and more without the tools or trusted care we deserve.
So when the FDA announced it’s removing the black box safety warning from hormone replacement therapy, that matters. For years, this warning scared women, especially Black women, away from a treatment that could ease symptoms and improve quality of life. Now, science has caught up with what many doctors have known: when guided by informed, culturally competent care, HRT can be a safe and effective option.
But access and understanding still aren’t equal. Too many of us are still dismissed, misinformed, or left out of the conversation altogether.
