Does Weaning Off Hormones Cause Memory Loss?

Hello, I am 61 years old and have been on the Wiley Protocol (estroven & progestrone) for the past five years and it has been fine (p.s my uterus is in tack). I am looking to not be dependent on the hormones any more for both financial and pratical reasons. I am concerned about the withdrawal effects and the risks for heart, uterine and bone desease or memory loss (I do not have a family history) if I quit them. Do you recommend that I stay on this protocol (my Naturopath seems to encourage it to potentially ward off the deseases mentioned above) or seek alternatives and what alternatives are natural and appropriate. Thank you for any suggetions!

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, without any valid medical reason and clinical indication it is not advisable to continue the hormone therapy because this could cause numbers of side effects, and in my opinion you need to stop taking this therapy, hope this information helps, take care.
