U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is initiating the removal of broad “black box” warnings from HRT (hormone replacement Therapy) products for menopause.

"As women go through menopause, the ovaries produce less estrogen and progesterone. FDA-approved HRT containing estrogen and progesterone (or estrogen alone as indicated for postmenopausal women without a uterus) can restore these declining hormones and relieve symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, and bone loss."

Randomized studies show that women who initiate HRT within 10 years of the onset of menopause (generally before age 60) have a reduction in all-cause mortality and fractures. Women may also reduce their risk of cardiovascular diseases by as much as 50%, Alzheimer’s disease by 35%, and bone fractures by 50 to 60%.

The FDA is NOT seeking to remove the boxed warning for endometrial cancer for systemic estrogen-alone products.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today announced historic action to restore gold-standard science to women’s health.

Testosterone Therapy: Unlocking Better Health, Strength, and Vitality—No Added Heart or Cancer Risk

A comprehensive meta-analysis covering studies up to July 2025 confirms that testosterone replacement therapy improves libido, erectile function, lean mass, bone density, and insulin sensitivity—without increasing the risk for major cardiovascular events or prostate cancer when patients are appropriately monitored.

Erythrocytosis continues to be the most frequent side effect observed, highlighting the importance of regular follow-up during therapy.

Semaglutide: Targeting Fat While Protecting Muscle

At InHouse Medical, we focus on more than just weight loss, we focus on helping you lose fat while keeping your strength.

A recent study published in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism found that people using once-weekly semaglutide (2.4 mg) for 12 months lost a significant amount of body fat while preserving lean muscle mass and even improving muscle strength.

Here’s what researchers discovered:
✅ Average weight loss: 12.7% after one year
✅ Fat mass decreased by nearly 19%
✅ Muscle strength improved (handgrip up by 4 kg)
✅ Metabolism increased, supporting long-term results

These findings show that semaglutide doesn’t just change the scale, it supports a healthier body composition and stronger, more efficient metabolism.

At InHouse Medical, we use this research-based approach to help our patients achieve lasting success while maintaining their energy and strength.

Menopause isn’t just about hot flashes, it can change how your body stores fat, builds muscle, and handles stress.
As estrogen levels drop, women may face what experts call a “triple whammy”:
• More insulin resistance
• Less muscle mass (slower metabolism)
• Higher cortisol from sleep disruption

Add in mood shifts, life stress, and new aches and pains (“musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause”), and it’s easy to see why weight loss gets harder.

At InHouse Medical, we help women navigate this transition with medically guided strategies that address hormones, metabolism, and mindset, not just calories.

The Hidden Pillar of Weight Control: Why Sleep Matters!

You already know that healthy eating and regular exercise are essential for effective weight management. But what if we told you there's a third, equally powerful pillar that many of us are neglecting? Sleep!

Emerging research, including findings noted by the American Heart Association, confirms that insufficient sleep isn't just about feeling tired, it's strongly linked to an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

The Sleep-Weight Connection:
-Appetite Hormones: Poor sleep can disrupt the hormones that regulate your appetite, making you feel hungrier and less satisfied.

-Insulin Sensitivity: It can reduce your body's sensitivity to insulin.

-Cravings: It makes it harder to resist high-calorie, "comfort" foods.

-Reduced Energy: Lack of sleep means less physical activity, slowing your metabolism.

One study found that sleeping less than 7 hours nearly doubled the rate of overweight and obesity!

1. Be Consistent: Stick to a regular sleep schedule, even on weekends.

2. Power Down: Limit use of electronic devices (phones, tablets, TV) close to bedtime, as the blue light suppresses sleep-inducing melatonin.

3. Wind Down: Create a relaxing routine like reading a book, taking a warm bath, or listening to soft music.

4. Set the Scene: Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool.

Your weight-loss journey, energy levels, and overall health will thank you!

New warning label changes for Tylenol coming:
The FDA has started the process of updating warning labels on acetaminophen (Tylenol and similar products). New studies suggest that using acetaminophen during pregnancy may be linked to a higher chance of children later being diagnosed with conditions like autism or ADHD.

It’s important to know:
• Researchers have found an association, but this does not prove cause and effect.
• Some studies show this possible link, while others do not.
• In many cases, acetaminophen may still be the safest option for treating fevers during pregnancy. Untreated high fevers can also be dangerous for moms and babies.
• Other pain relievers, like aspirin and ibuprofen, are already known to cause problems in pregnancy.

What this means: Pregnant women should talk with their doctors before using acetaminophen. While many may choose to avoid it for mild discomfort or low-grade fevers, there are still times when it may be reasonable and necessary.

The FDA’s goal is to make sure parents and providers have the information they need to make the safest choice.

STAY AWAY FROM ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS
A groundbreaking study from the University of Copenhagen reveals that ultra-processed foods contribute to fat gain, lower testosterone levels, and even introduce harmful chemicals— all WITHOUT increasing calorie intake.

👉 Men in the study gained more fat on processed foods compared to whole foods, even when calories, protein, carbs, and fats were identical.
👉 Hormones took a hit: testosterone and fertility markers dropped.
👉 Pollutants from packaging and processing were found in their bodies—linked to declining s***m quality.

At InHouse Medical, we see every day how diet, hormones, and health are connected. This research confirms what we emphasize with our patients: it’s not just about calories—it’s about the quality of your food.

If you’re struggling with weight gain, low energy, or hormone imbalance, our team can help you get answers through advanced lab testing and personalized treatment plans.

Patients who are overweight or obese may have a lower risk of developing cancer if they take GLP-1 receptor agonists, according to research published in JAMA Oncology.
Researchers found that patients taking GLP-1 receptor agonists had a lower risk of cancer overall as well as lower risks of meningioma, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer.
This study is limited by its observational nature and by the lack of longitudinal assessments of BMI. Therefore, it’s not clear whether the apparent reduction in cancer risk was due to the GLP-1 receptor agonists themselves or the drug-induced weight loss.

Semaglutide Not Linked to Increased Risk for Eye Disorders, Diabetic Retinopathy
For adults with diabetes, semaglutide treatment is not associated with increased risk of eye disorders or diabetic retinopathy, according to a review published online Aug. 14 in JAMA Ophthalmology.
Additional studies dedicated to checking the relationship between semaglutide and NAION are needed.

Wegovy (semaglutide), a GLP-1 medication, was recently cleared by the FDA as a treatment for a common liver disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, or MASH, with moderate to advanced liver scarring.
Wegovy helped improve liver scarring, or fibrosis, and resolve symptoms.
Besides obesity, Wegovy is also approved to cut the risk of heart complications. Novo also plans to seek approval of the drug to treat heart failure.
