BREAKING NEWS IN WOMEN’S HEALTH
The FDA has officially removed the Black Box warning on menopausal hormone therapy — a label that has shaped two decades of fear and confusion for women and their physicians.

For nearly 20 years, millions of women suffered through hot flashes, sleep disruption, brain fog, weight changes, bone loss, cardiovascular shifts, and a loss of quality of life — not because hormone therapy was dangerous, but because early data was misinterpreted, miscommunicated, and amplified through fear-based messaging.

The original study that led to the Black Box warning was deeply flawed:

It studied the wrong population (average age 63 — long past the menopausal transition)

It used outdated formulations that we no longer use today

And the conclusions were oversimplified and inaccurately generalized to all women.

The result?
A generation of women were told to “just deal with it.”
A generation of physicians were discouraged from offering individualized, evidence-based care.
A generation of science was stalled in the name of “caution.”

Today’s change matters.
It acknowledges what high-quality research has shown for years:
✨ Hormone therapy, when thoughtfully prescribed, is safe, effective, and life-changing for the right patient.
✨ It can support cardiovascular health.
✨ It protects bone density.
✨ It supports cognition, sleep, mood, and sexual well-being.
✨ And most importantly — women deserve access to accurate information and compassionate, individualized care.

This is a win.
But it is not the finish line.

Women’s health research has been underfunded, underrepresented, and deprioritized for decades. We are living in a time where scientific expertise is being questioned, minimized, and in some cases, actively undermined.

Now more than ever, we need:

More research

More transparency

More women in the room where medical decisions are made

More advocacy

And more respect for evidence, science, and lived experience.

Today we celebrate progress.
Tomorrow, we keep going.
Women deserve nothing less.

Meghan Trainor’s breast augmentation has been a long time coming.
