Logan lives in what longevity platform Hone Health calls a ”hormone desert” — a geographic area where residents lack access to qualified hormone health providers. Hone HealthTop hormone deserts for womenMississippi has roughly 1 menopause-certified physician for every 79,000 women aged 40–64. That means even where there are accessible doctors, they may not be qualified to provide midlife hormone care. Among women who seek hormone care, the highest per capita demand comes from the state of Nevada, where hormone specialists are scarce. In hormone care specifically, this preference for denser, wealthier geographic areas is made worse by gaps in provider training, inconsistent prescribing guidelines, and narrow insurance coverage for hormone testing.
