For decades, hormone therapy came with a warning — a literal black box stamped on every prescription. It shaped how doctors prescribed, how women decided, and how fear lingered in exam rooms.
⠀
But now, the FDA is lifting that warning.
⠀
So what does that mean for us — as clinicians, as women, as storytellers of our own health?
⠀
This week, I sit down with Mary Heim, RPh of Rivertown Compounding Pharmacy, to unpack the truth behind hormone therapy: the science, the stigma, and the shift.
⠀
We talk bio-identicals, myths, personalization, and how to reclaim clarity and care in the face of medical messaging that hasn’t always served us.
⠀
This one’s for the women still asking, “Is it safe?”
For the practitioners ready to unlearn and relearn.
And for anyone wondering what happens after the black box fades.
