At Esprit Health Clinic, we have always been at the forefront of hormone health, wellness, weight management, aesthetics, and longevity. With over 60 years of combined clinical experience, our team is dedicated to providing holistic, evidence-based care that treats the whole person—body, mind, and skin. Now, with the FDA’s recent decision to remove the black box warning from FDA-approved hormone replacement therapy (HRT) products, we are excited to help even more men and women ages 45+ achieve optimal wellness through safe, effective, and personalized hormone optimization.
Why was there a Black Box Warning on HRT?
The black box warning was introduced after early studies, such as the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), raised concerns about increased risks of breast cancer and cardiovascular events with HRT. However, these studies had significant limitations, including the use of older hormone formulations and enrolling women well past the typical age of menopause. Over the past two decades, new research and re-analysis have clarified that, for most healthy adults who start HRT within 10 years of menopause or before age 60, the benefits far outweigh the risks.
What Has Changed? The FDA’s Decision
In 2025, the FDA removed the broad black box warning from FDA-approved HRT products, reflecting the latest scientific evidence. This change acknowledges that, when prescribed appropriately and monitored closely, HRT is both safe and highly beneficial for most men and women in midlife and beyond.
Key takeaways:
- Timing and formulation matter: Starting HRT earlier and using FDA-approved bioidentical hormones is associated with the best outcomes.
- Personalization is essential: Individualized dosing and ongoing monitoring optimize safety and results.
- Whole person care: HRT is most effective when integrated into a comprehensive wellness plan
