11 | A Historic Day for Women's Health: Inside the FDA Expert Panel on Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy

This historic hearing offers tremendous hope for women navigating menopause.

In this episode, we discuss:
- The End of Silence: Menopause, once a shamed and dismissed topic, has finally entered serious public discourse, moving beyond quiet endurance to high-level recognition.
- A Personal Story Driving Change: The head of the FDA shared his personal story about his mother who suffered greatly due to outdated fears around hormone therapy, emphasizing that bone fractures in older women can be fatal.
- Dismantling Dogma: Experts revealed that vaginal estrogen is categorically safe for all women, with no systemic absorption, directly challenging the black box warning.
- Brain and Bone Health: Researchers presented alarming data on how estrogen decline impacts brain function and bone density, emphasizing that hormone therapy can be a critical prevention tool, not just a treatment for the elderly.
This hearing signals a critical shift: women's health matters, our experiences are valid, and we deserve care based on current science, not outdated assumptions. Whether or not you choose hormone therapy, there is now hope that you can make informed decisions based on facts.
