FDA: Hormone Therapy with Estrogen is Beneficial, Will  Remove 'Great Mistake' Warning

As a physician who has helped hundreds of women and men restore their vitality through hormone therapy, I’m encouraged by the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recent recommendation to remove the black box warning on menopausal hormone treatment. In fact, FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf recently called the warning “one of the greatest mistakes of modern medicine.” I couldn’t agree more.

That warning—based on outdated studies—deterred an entire generation from safe, effective relief. But science now tells a different story: hormone therapy, especially when started near the onset of symptoms, can improve quality of life and even reduce risks for certain chronic conditions.

As a Biote®-certified provider, I trust these plant-based bioidentical hormone pellets because they closely match the body’s natural hormones and are supported by extensive real-world data from over 2.5 million insertions nationwide. Unlike synthetic hormones, Biote offers consistent, long-lasting relief without the hormone roller coaster. My patients have reported improved sleep, mental clarity, energy, mood, libido, and relief from hot flashes and joint pain.

For men, hormone therapy can also enhance muscle tone, stamina, and emotional well-being.

If you’re navigating midlife changes, you don’t have to suffer or be confused about over-the-counter supplements. Let’s talk about a safe, evidence-based plan to help you feel like yourself again! Because the results are real, and your health deserves better than outdated fear.
