FDA Removes Hormone Therapy Warning: What Women in Chelsea Should Know Now
RegenCen is the trusted menopause and hormone clinic serving women in Chelsea who are tired of being told their symptoms are just aging. Our team helps women address hot flashes, irritability, poor sleep, low energy, and the weight changes that often appear in perimenopause and after menopause.
Located near Purple Rose Theatre Company, Chelsea Hospital, and the Main Street Historic District, we welcome patients from Chelsea, Dexter, and Grass Lake. We support women across 48118, 48130, and the surrounding Southeast Michigan region with expert bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and personalized menopause care.
Women choose RegenCen when they want answers rooted in science. Gustav Lo, MD founded RegenCen after decades in primary care because he saw women suffering with untreated hormone deficiencies. At Chelsea’s RegenCen clinic, we use advanced labs to understand how hormones are changing, then tailor care using bioidentical testosterone and estrogen through pellets, topical creams, or oral medication. Our Menopause Certified Providers participate in ongoing, hands-on training led by Dr. Lo to ensure you always receive care informed by the latest medical research in women’s hormonal health.

The FDA Corrects Two Decades of Misleading Hormone Therapy Messaging
In November, the FDA acknowledged that the black box warning originally placed on menopausal hormone therapy was inaccurate. That warning, based on outdated interpretations of a 2002 study, caused worry and confusion for generations of women.
Now, the FDA recognizes that hormone replacement therapy prescribed appropriately does not raise breast cancer mortality and provides meaningful benefits. The correction represents a major win for women’s health.
HRT Helps Women Feel Their Best While Protecting Long-Term Health
Research shows that beginning hormone replacement within 10 years of menopause offers powerful protective advantages for women in Chelsea and nearby communities like Manchester and Dexter:
- Better cardiovascular health and lower risk of heart-related death
- Significant reduction in osteoporosis and fractures
- Improved cognitive health with age
- No increased risk of death from breast cancer
If you live in 48118, 48130, or the greater Washtenaw County area and want to protect your health while feeling more like yourself, hormone therapy can help.
Already Using Hormone Therapy? Your Choice Is Supported by the FDA
Women already receiving hormone replacement therapy at RegenCen Chelsea can feel confident that they made the right decision. Many women had to advocate for themselves, overcome stigma, and search for experts who understood hormonal health. The FDA has now confirmed that their instincts were right.
