It will be interesting to see what happens to Dr. Newson. I agree with you that she has done a lot of excellent work in helping women, and I'm equally uncomfortable with wording such as "estrogen deficient". I think in the end, there hasn't been enough research to definitively know what the result will be for prescribing HRT beyond official guidelines. But instead of villainizing each other, wouldn't it be more helpful if we can have an open conversation and learn so that ultimately all women will have more information to make the best choice for themselves? Great post, thank you!
