The Menopause Update Every Woman Deserves to Know
A major shift just happened in women’s health — and shockingly, most people haven’t heard a word about it.
The FDA has officially removed the black-box warning from Hormone Replacement Therapy.
For more than 20 years, that warning shaped how doctors counseled women, despite the fact that the original study it was based on (WHI, early 2000s) was deeply flawed.
Most women in the study were in their 60s–70s, long past menopause…
They were given outdated forms of hormones…
And the study didn’t differentiate between starting HRT early vs. decades later.
Updated research now shows a more nuanced — and empowering — picture.
For many women, HRT may support bone density, brain health, sleep, mood, and s*xual wellbeing.
And here’s another revelation:
A new study by Justin Lehmiller shows that ma********on may ease menopause symptoms.
Women reported improvements in sleep, mood, and overall comfort simply through self-pleasure.
Imagine a healthcare system that acknowledged or**sm, pleasure, and pelvic blood flow as part of menopause care.
Women are not “drying up.”
We’re evolving — and our bodies deserve science-based care, not fear-based messaging.
