FDA Updated Guidance on Estrogen Therapy: What Women Should Know

November 28, 2025 • Allure Medical

The FDA has updated its stance on estrogen therapy, reversing decades of confusion from early WHI interpretations. New research and global data now show estrogen may support long-term health and reduce key chronic risks.

This episode explains the FDA’s updated guidance, what the WHI got wrong, and what current science reveals about heart health, brain function, diabetes risk, bone density, and breast cancer. We also break down synthetic progestins vs. bioidentical progesterone, why timing matters, and how Europe achieved better outcomes with HRT.

Tune in to get clear, evidence-based insights so you can talk confidently with your provider and decide if hormone therapy fits your goals.
