I am a 59 year old family physician who has struggled with perimenopause and menopause for the past 15 years at least and finally found much needed relief in the form of a cBHT troche from a locally owned compounding pharmacy in my town. I had failed OCPs in a variety of doses, traditional hormone replacement tablets, cBHT creams, and even HT injections. I slept poorly, had poor energy, night sweats, brain fog, low libido, and my mood wasn't that great. All of this certainly made it difficult to be my best self in order to see and care for patients every day. This troche has so improved the quality of my daily life and work- I cannot imagine life without it now! Also of note is that I now refer many female patients for testing for cBHT. Most often they return to thank me because they feel so much better and are more effective in all they do. I cannot imagine going back to a time in this country when half the population can't have access to their essential medications and supplements.
