Summary
Hormone replacement therapy can be incredibly helpful for some women—but it isn’t always the first place I recommend starting. Before considering HRT, I want to look at how well your body is being supported in three foundational areas: • Digestion • Blood sugar balance • Healthy detox pathways Why? Because hormones don’t work in isolation. If your body is struggling to digest well, regulate blood sugar, or properly process and eliminate hormones, simply adding more hormones may not address the bigger picture. In this episode, I’m breaking down the three areas I look at first and how supporting these foundations can help you better understand what your body actually needs during perimenopause. If you’re wondering what support would make the most sense for you, book a free discovery call with me. https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18525602&appointmentType=27841554 And if you’re navigating perimenopause right now, be sure to check out my Perimenopause support resources as well. You don’t have to guess your way through this season.The post Before You Start HRT: 3 Things to Support First first appeared on Health and Hormones.
