Thank you!! BTW, when I was Googling "dirty estrogen" I couldn't help, but notice there are no websites talking about dirty testosterone! We're socialized to believe women's bodies are unclean. This dirty estrogen nonsense is just another way that hucksters are capitalizing on misogyny.

Sharing this with all the providers at work! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this. Hormone testing can be a really tough conversation to have with patients, especially when recommending against fashionable or trending tests. And now I have a better understanding of why. The perspective that testing = caring.

Thank you so much for all of your work on your blogs and with social media. I just read another blog by a dietitian selling the Dutch test and explaining some complicated physiology about estrogen. As a fellow dietitian, it drives me absolutely nuts! So, it's very helpful to have your information, books and resources to share with other dietitians, and most importantly my clients/patients. I've been an NCMP since 2015 - and the more I learn about menopause and hormones, the more I learn to stay in my lane. Anyway, I really appreciate your work.
