Medical disclaimer
Tommy & James is not a medical provider and is not affiliated with any clinic, laboratory, supplement brand, telehealth service, insurer or government health agency. Everything published here is general educational information for healthy adults. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it cannot account for your history.
Tommy & James is not a medical provider. Nothing on this website is medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and reading it does not create any clinician-patient relationship.
What this site is
Tommy & James is an independent publication. It provides general educational information about women’s health for healthy adults, written from published research and clinical guidance. It is written by a health writer, not a physician, nurse, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, dietitian, pharmacist or therapist.
What this site is not affiliated with
Tommy & James is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any clinic, hospital, medical practice, laboratory, diagnostic company, pharmaceutical manufacturer, supplement brand, telehealth service, insurer, or any government health agency including the FDA, CDC, NIH or any state health department. No official seal, agency logo or government styling appears anywhere on this site, and none is implied.
General information is not personal advice
Information here is written for a general audience. It cannot account for your medical history, your current conditions, your medications, your allergies, your pregnancy status or your laboratory results. A statement that is broadly true across a population can be wrong, and occasionally dangerous, for one individual.
Always speak with a qualified clinician who has access to your history before you start, stop, or change any medication, supplement, hormone therapy, diet or exercise programme. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read here.
Emergencies
If you think you may be having a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately, or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not use this website. If you are in the United States and in crisis, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available by call or text at 988.
Accuracy and currency
Medical understanding changes. Every page carries the date it was last reviewed, and the sources behind it are listed so you can check them yourself. Even so, guidance can change between reviews, a cited study can be superseded, and errors can survive editing. No warranty of accuracy, completeness or currency is given or implied.
External links
Links to third-party websites are provided because the source is relevant. Tommy & James does not control those sites, is not responsible for their content, and linking to a source is not an endorsement of everything that source publishes.
No commercial relationships
Tommy & James takes no vendor sponsorship, no supplement partnerships, and no telehealth or laboratory referral fees. If any page ever carries an affiliate link, a visible disclosure appears on that page and on the disclosure page.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tommy & James and its author accept no liability for any loss, injury or damage arising from the use of, or reliance on, information published on this website. You use this site on that basis.
