Do NOT Rely on Mammograms Alone — A Breast Cancer Survivor Doctor Explains What to Do Instead

About this episode

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Boham, Medical Director of the UltraWellness Center, to explore why breast cancer develops, the hidden factors that may influence your risk, and what you can do to be proactive about prevention—not just early detection. Here's what we discuss in today's episode: Why breast cancer is increasingly being diagnosed in younger women The overlooked factors that may influence breast cancer risk beyond genetics and family history How your gut health, hormones, and environmental exposures may be connected to breast cancer What women should know about hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer risk The screenings, tests, and everyday habits that can help you take a more proactive approach to breast health While we can't prevent every case of breast cancer, there are meaningful steps we can take to influence our health. Understanding your individual risk and addressing the factors within your control can help you make more informed decisions about prevention and long-term wellness.
