Our Founder Explains What the FDA’s Hormone Therapy Update Means for Women

The FDA Finally Sets the Record Straight on HRT

After more than two decades of confusion and concern, the FDA has removed the long-standing “black box” warning from menopause hormone replacement therapy products. That warning, based on flawed data from early studies, has kept millions of women from relief they deserved.

“Over the past two decades, tens of millions of women have been denied hormone therapy because of a false belief that it would increase their risk of dying of breast cancer. Clinical trials do not support that association.”

This marks a major turning point for women’s health and quality of life.

HRT: Backed by Science, Proven to Help Women in Naples Thrive

Dr. Makary emphasized that starting hormone replacement therapy within 10 years of menopause provides long-lasting benefits.

Women at RegenCen in Naples have experienced this science-backed support firsthand:

• 50 percent reduction in risk of deadly cardiovascular events
• Up to 60 percent fewer osteoporotic fractures
• Lower risk of Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline
• No increased breast cancer mortality

If you live in 34102, 34108, 34104 or surrounding Naples neighborhoods, this is the ideal time to reevaluate hormone replacement therapy with updated science guiding the way.
