The FDA Ends 20 Years of Hormone Therapy Misinformation. What It Means for Women in Wellington

At RegenCen, the trusted menopause and hormone center in Wellington, we help women in Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, and Loxahatchee restore energy, relieve hot flashes, support weight control, and sleep more peacefully. Located near the National Polo Center and the Mall at Wellington Green, our clinic specializes in bioidentical hormone therapy designed for real, lasting relief. We proudly serve women in 33414 and 33411 along with the broader South Florida region and the larger Miami metropolitan area.

Hormone therapy at RegenCen is designed for women who want real solutions instead of being told symptoms are just part of getting older. Founded by Gustav Lo, MD after more than 30 years in primary care, RegenCen combines advanced hormone testing, personalized hormone treatment, and regenerative medicine to support both immediate relief and long-term health. We offer hormone pellets for steady sustained support and topical or oral hormone replacement for fine adjustments throughout perimenopause and well into post menopause.

Our in-person Menopause Certified Providers and hormone specialists in the Wellington region complete ongoing RegenCen training including hands-on clinical bootcamp and weekly grand rounds. This ensures our care reflects the most current science and menopause expertise available.

What the FDA’s Hormone Therapy Update Means for Women in Wellington, FL: Our Founder Explains

The FDA Finally Sets the Record Straight on HRT

After years of confusion and fear, the FDA has updated its guidance on hormone replacement therapy. A major announcement in November confirmed the removal of the outdated black box warning from menopause hormone products. The original warning came from a 2002 study that did not accurately represent risk and caused decades of concern for women seeking relief.

“Over the past two decades, tens of millions of women have been denied, not offered, or avoided hormone replacement therapy because of a medical dogma that it would increase their risk of dying of breast cancer. Clinical trials, however, don’t support that association.”

— Dr. Marty Makary, WSJ, Nov 2025

This correction by the FDA confirms what many experts have said for years. Properly prescribed hormone therapy is safe and beneficial.

HRT: Backed by Science, Helping Women in Wellington Thrive

Studies show that when hormone replacement therapy begins within 10 years of menopause, the benefits are significant. Women in Wellington and beyond have experienced:

• Lower risk of deadly cardiovascular events by up to 50 percent
• Up to 60 percent fewer osteoporotic fractures
• Reduced likelihood of Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline
• No increase in breast cancer mortality

If you live in 33414 or 33411, including neighborhoods like Palm Beach Polo and Country Club or the Isles at Wellington, this is an ideal time to consider whether hormone replacement is right for you.

Already on HRT? Your Decision Is Now Backed by the FDA

If you have already chosen hormone therapy through RegenCen Wellington, the FDA now confirms the science behind your choice. Many women across Lakefield North, Lakefield South, and Sugar Pond Manor had to move past outdated beliefs to find relief. That choice is now supported at the highest level.

If you delayed hormones due to concerns, today’s guidance offers renewed confidence.
