It's a big day for the future of Women's Health as the FDA approves the removal of black box warnings on hormone therapies for menopause, but as always, nothing in the world of health is ever as black and white as we wish it could be.

In today's episode we talk about:

• What it means to have a black box warning removed


• The study behind why it was incorrectly labeled in the first place


• The benefits of having HRT/MHT more accessible


• How HRT is not a replacement for healthy lifestyle implementations


• The importance of working with the small portion of practitioners actually trained in menopause hormonal therapies


• Some critical questions to ask yourself on your own journey with MHT


• Why the FDA is not 100% transparent or even 50% accurate when they talk about dismantling "patriarchal medicine"


• Kinsey's wrap up and conclusion...

The sources covered in today's conversation:

1. Dr. Stephanie Estima's Podcast deep diving into the issues with the Women's Health Initiative.

2. Erin Holt's conversations with Dr. Deanna Minich challenging the HRT or BUST narrative.

3. The Mother Jone's Article addressing the issues with the FDA's announcements.

As always, I would love to hear what you think, ideas for future podcasts, or hear stories from your own life!
