I am a 62 year old woman who has taken cBHT since age 48 when I became perimenopausal. My main purpose was to protect my body from aging after educating myself through Dr. Diana Schwarzbein (an MD with a specialty in endocrinology). I have kept my weight low at pre-menopausal levels, am energetic and have educated myself. When I was forced to take a generic Vivelle patch, I saw weight gain and did not feel good.
