It's really important that people know that the HRT study in 2002 (was it? or 2003) was grossly misrepresented not only in the media but that doctors being trained in gynecology shied away from it! I was perimenopausal right in the middle of the announcement of the ending of the study, but thankfully my gyn and my reading of Women's Moods by Deborah Sichel and Jeanne Driscoll gave me enough background (along with an ability to read research, thank goodness) not to freak out. I'm shocked to be listening to a podcast recorded in 2023 that very little has changed and women are not getting the care they need! 20 years have passed, people!
Thanks for this! I'm so grateful (mostly women) are now finally doing the research and writing so those of us going through this transition understand it's communal and biological and not an individual failure or pathology. So grateful!
I'm glad you found it useful. I wish I had know more about this a couple of years ago but I'm glad we have all these amazing (women) scientists who are now changing the situation for the better and finally giving us answers

Yes, it is so sad to see how many women suffered needlessly because of this study 😔
