How can I safely wean off of HRT?

Ask Emily — hormone replacement therapy

QUESTION:

ANSWER:

When taking HRT, our bodies come to rely on the supplemented hormones. Depending on how long you’ve been taking hormones, you will need sufficient time to ease your body out of that relationship. Before you wean yourself off HRT, one of the best ways to ensure a successful outcome is to be extra-kind to your body — providing generous nutritional, emotional, and endocrine support — as best you can. These are all elements of the multilayered approach we adopt in in our Personal Program for Hormonal Imbalance — and why the program we have customized specifically to help women gently and safely wean off HRT is so successful.
