What the FDA’s Hormone Therapy Update Means for North Naples: Dr. Gustav Lo Explains

The FDA Finally Sets the Record Straight on HRT

After more than two decades of confusion, the FDA has officially removed the black box warning from hormone replacement therapy for menopause. That warning, based on flawed interpretations of outdated studies, has kept millions of women from early and effective relief.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 their risk of dying of breast cancer. Clinical trials do not support that association.”

This marks a major step forward in women’s health.

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

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

Women at RegenCen in North Naples have already experienced improvements supported by modern research:

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

If you live in 34120, 34110, or surrounding areas like Heritage Bay and Pebblebrooke Lakes and want to protect your long-term wellness, now is the ideal time to reevaluate hormone therapy options.
