“Hormones Off the Hook: What the FDA’s New Decision Means for Women, HRT, and the Future of Menopause Care”

đź’ˇ Episode Summary:

For decades, women have been warned that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is risky business — linked to heart disease, cancer, and every imaginable midlife horror story.

But that narrative just flipped.

In a landmark move, the FDA has lifted the black box warnings from many HRT products — a long-overdue acknowledgment that the old data was outdated, misunderstood, and unnecessarily fear-inducing.

In this episode, Joanne breaks down:

  • 🔍 What the FDA actually did — and how it changes the landscape for women in midlife.

  • ⚖️ Why the original warnings were wrong for most women and what new research reveals about timing, dosage, and delivery.

  • đź’Š The arrival of a new non-hormonal medication (Lynkuet / Elinzanetant) for hot flashes and night sweats — and who it’s perfect for.

  • 🧬 How all of this impacts your hormones, body composition, recovery, and long-term health.

This episode is your science-based, hype-free breakdown of one of the most important updates in women’s health in decades.

🎯 Why You’ll Want to Listen:

If you’ve ever been told HRT is “too risky,” or you’ve suffered through hot flashes, mood swings, or sleepless nights because you thought you had no options — this conversation changes everything.

It’s time to replace fear with facts and take control of midlife on your terms.

đź’Ś Work With Joanne:

Joanne is now accepting applications for her exclusive 10-month mentorship, A Perfect 10, starting February 2026.
