⚠️ When safe, affirming hormone care is priced out—or miles away—people DIY, and the data show the danger.
✅ A nationally representative Vanderbilt study found licensed GAHT cuts severe psychological distress by 65% with no added medical risk.
❌ Getting hormones from unlicensed sources linked to higher odds of cancer, diabetes, heart attack, and blood clots.
People turn to DIY because they can’t find an affirming provider nearby, can’t afford traditional care, or can’t wait months for an appointment.
🏥 FOLX Health fixes that gap by providing care with licensed, affirming clinicians within 2 days from anywhere in the US.
Let’s make risky work-arounds obsolete by putting gold-standard GAHT within everyone’s reach.
