The FDA just removed long-standing black box warnings on many hormone therapy drugs and the marketing machine is already calling it a “new era of freedom” for menopausal women.
But here’s the truth: No black box warning does not mean no risk.
The original concerns from the Women’s Health Initiative — cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, dementia — didn’t magically disappear. The risks depend on your age, health history, hormone type, dose, and delivery method.
And despite what the new messaging implies…Not every woman needs HRT. Not every woman can use HRT. Not every woman wants a prescription for the next 20+ years.
Women deserve personalized care, not one-size-fits-all answers.
If you’re looking for a natural, proven, estrogen-supportive option, Pueraria mirifica has been used for centuries to ease menopausal symptoms without the risks of synthetic hormones. https://amatalife.com/
