Dr. Gustav Lo Explains: What This Means for Marco Island
The FDA Finally Sets the Record Straight on HRT
After more than two decades of confusion and concern, the FDA has finally taken action. They have removed the “black box” warning from hormone replacement therapy used to treat menopause. This warning, based on flawed interpretation of outdated data, has kept millions of women from relief.
“Over the past two decades, tens of millions of women have been denied hormone therapy because of a false belief that it would increase breast cancer death. Clinical trials do not support that association.”
This change marks a new era where women can choose hormone therapy with confidence and clarity.
HRT: Backed by Science, Proven to Help Women in Marco Island Thrive
Dr. Makary emphasized that starting hormone therapy within 10 years of menopause supports long-term health and quality of life. Women at RegenCen in Marco Island have already experienced significant benefits:
- 50 percent reduction in risk of deadly cardiovascular events
- Up to 60 percent fewer osteoporotic fractures
- Improved cognitive function and reduced risk of Alzheimer’s
- Most importantly: no increased breast cancer mortality
If you live in 34145, 34146, or nearby Southwest Florida communities and want to stay healthy and vibrant as you age, now is a perfect time to explore hormone replacement.
