Speakers will present their research regarding the biological, psychological, behavioural, economic and social factors in women’s health and their effects on women’s health outcomes.

With respect I think this doctor's negative view of estrogen is based on a very skewed perspective - all the women on the combined pill or on appropriately dosed HRT, we are not the ones coming through her door complaining of menstrual flooding and other horrible symptoms. The people she is seeing who are miserable aren't on any estrogen.
