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!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
