HRT, Misreported Risks & A Turning Point in Women’s Health!

For over 20 years, women were warned away from estrogen therapy because of the WHI study.

But here’s the truth:
🧠 The original findings were misinterpreted,
📰 The media misreported the risks,
⚠️ And the resulting fear was misleading — leaving countless women to suffer through menopause without support.

Now, the FDA is finally correcting course.
They’ve removed the black box warning on many estrogen therapies — acknowledging what many of us in women’s health have known for years: when used appropriately, estrogen can be safe, effective, and life-changing.

In her new article, Dr. Jade Wienbar breaks down:
✔️ What the WHI study really said
✔️ How the media spun the story
✔️ What we now know about estrogen’s benefits
✔️ Why this matters right now for women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s

✨ If you’ve been told to “just deal” with hot flashes, night sweats, low libido, or brain fog — please read this article.

✨ Feeling off lately? You’re not alone. ✨

Perimenopause can feel like a hormonal rollercoaster — unpredictable sleep, sudden mood swings, and that sense that something’s “just not right.” 😵‍💫

In her latest blog post, Dr. Jade Wienbar unpacks why this transition feels so chaotic — and how your shifting hormones, especially progesterone, play a central role in disrupting sleep and emotional balance.

👉 But there’s good news: your body isn’t broken — it’s adapting. And there are natural, supportive ways to feel like you again.

Let’s normalize this journey and empower ourselves  through it. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to suffer.
