Couri Center for Gynecology and Integrative Women's Health

24/07/2025

We’re excited to share the video of Dr. Michele Couri's Empowered Wellness keynote talk, The Truth About Menopausal Hormone Therapy — an honest, evidence-based look at hormone therapy and the myths that have persisted for far too long. This conversation is more important than ever in light of the recent FDA expert panel meeting to reconsider the black box warning on vaginal estrogen — a crucial step in undoing decades of fear sparked by the WHI. It’s time to right the wrongs of the last 23 years.

Watch now and join the movement for informed, empowered women's health.
