Everyone celebrates the weight GLP-1s take off, almost no one warns you about the volume they quietly pull out of your face and the loose skin you can't train away. The fix depends entirely on the diagnosis, and knowing which category your concern falls into is what saves you time, money, and regret.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Kristy Hamilton, a board-certified plastic surgeon, to discuss:Why rapid GLP-1 weight loss deflates facial volume and creates loose skin and why the leaner and more muscular you get, the more visible that laxity becomesThe muscle-sparing breast augmentation (Preserve) that gets active women back to full training in about a week, and why placing an implant in front of the muscle protects your strengthWhich skin-tightening treatments reset structure (like internal radiofrequency) versus the surface treatments and "expensive coat rack" machines that won't touch real laxityThe real NIH data on breast implant illness and why you don't need a $30,000 detox or to have healthy tissue cut out to get reliefBy the end, you'll know what rapid weight loss really does to your skin, which procedures match which problem, and how to avoid wasting money on fixes that were never going to work for your specific situation.Thank you to our sponsors:Cozy Earth - Go to https://bit.ly/3RLZNEv for up to 20% off!Timeline - Get 20% off your Mitopure order at https://bit.ly/4ptIchfSquare - Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at https://bit.ly/4gOCfZP #squarepodExplore More from Dr. Gabrielle LyonPremium Podcast Subscription: Ad-free episodes, key takeaway summaries, exclusive Q&A, and behind-the-scenes content https://foreverstrong.supercast.comWeekly newsletter: Recipes, podcast updates, and practical weekly insights https://drgabriellelyon.com/sign-up/Apply to become a patient: Personalized care with Dr. Lyon's clinical team https://drgabriellelyon.com/new-patient-inquiry/Find Dr. Kristy Hamilton at:Website: https://www.drkristyhamilton.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkristyhamilton/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drkristyhamilton/Connect with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drgabriellelyonX (Twitter): https://x.com/drgabriellelyonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyonChapters00:00 - Introduction: GLP-1s and the plastic surgery boom01:53 - The dark side: losing facial volume02:40 - Fat transfers and donor-fat products03:10 - Alloclae and the "zombie" fat06:04 - The Miami Thong Lift explained11:15 - Thong lift vs. BBL recovery13:05 - Pec muscle-sparing breast augmentation15:30 - Behind vs. in front of the muscle20:43 - Silicone vs. saline implants21:39 - Breast implant illness and the NIH data24:16 - Predatory explants and the $30K program31:33 - Implant size and the ballerina breast37:00 - Non-surgical tightening with Quantum RF41:00 - Are you a candidate?

A seasoned grant writer pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to fund an Indiana‑sized breast care service area with five pink mobile coaches and thousands of uninsured women. In this episode, Anna Caballero explains how she matches The Rose’s mission with state programs, foundations, and local donors, why rural counties and maintenance funds matter as much as screening dollars, and how her own mother’s late‑stage breast cancer diagnosis shaped her passion for access and self‑advocacy. She shares how today’s funders expect data, outcomes, and systems change, and why she still believes every mammogram sits inside a much bigger story of community health, navigation, and follow‑up. Support The Rose HERE. Subscribe to Let’s Talk About Your Breasts on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and wherever you get your podcasts. Key Questions Answered 1. What does Anna’s role on The Rose’s development team involve, and how does she use writing to bring in funding? 2. How does the grant application process actually work, from simple email forms to complex portals and site visits? 3. What kinds of entities fund The Rose, and how do state, local, and foundation dollars fit together? 4. How does the Breast and Cervical Cancer Services Program combine state and CDC funds, and who does it serve? 5. Why is it so important that screening and diagnostic grants also connect women to treatment through a Medicaid‑like program? 6. How large is The Rose’s 45‑county service area, and why does Anna compare it to the state of Indiana? 7. How did Anna’s years at the American Cancer Society and her mother’s late breast cancer diagnosis shape her commitment to this work? 8. What did Anna learn about self‑advocacy from watching her mother answer “I’m fine” to questions about pain and sleep? 9. How do grants like Empower Her Sponsorship and Keep Mobile support uninsured women, rural communities, and the mobile coach fleet? 10. What do modern funders expect in terms of impact, data, and systems change, and how does Anna show that their money is doing more than “just a mammogram”? Timestamped Overview 00:07 Roxann welcomes Anna and asks about her role at The Rose; Anna explains she is a development team member who writes grants to bring in funding.00:43 Anna outlines how grant applications range from simple emailed forms to complex portals, site visits, and detailed reviews of The Rose’s finances and impact.01:54 She highlights key funding, including the Breast and Cervical Cancer Services Program, which helps cover screening and diagnostics for uninsured, low‑income women and connects some to treatment.03:06 Anna explains how geography matters: The Rose’s 45‑county service area must align with foundations’ local priorities, while larger funders support broader regions.03:55 She describes partners like the Episcopal Health Foundation and frames mammography as one crucial piece of comprehensive community care, especially in areas without local imaging.05:02 Anna compares The Rose’s 45‑county footprint to the landmass of Indiana and notes it serves more than nine million people across rural and metropolitan areas with high uninsured rates.05:57 She shares that her first job was with the American Cancer Society, where she spent twenty years and discovered a passion for making even small differences in public health.07:00 Anna recalls taking her mother for a free voucher mammogram, later finding out her mother did not return and was eventually diagnosed with aggressive, late‑stage breast cancer.08:44 Watching her mother’s treatment taught Anna how vital self‑advocacy is and how often women minimize pain or symptoms to “be polite,” reinforcing her belief that someone must speak up in the exam room.11:05 She says those habits still show up today, especially for young or uninsured women, and underscores why The Rose’s mission is to offer equal access regardless of insurance status.12:44 Anna explains how she first encountered The Rose through a breast health collaborative years ago and later joined the staff after a former American Cancer Society colleague called about a job.13:53 She describes the Empower Her Sponsorship Program, which uses grant dollars to cover the full continuum of breast care for uninsured women, from screening through diagnostic resolution.14:35 Anna talks about the importance of “Keep Mobile”–type funds that maintain the five pink coaches, noting that a broken coach can mean losing twenty to twenty‑five screenings a day in communities with no other options.16:25 She notes that the funding climate has shifted, with partners affected by federal changes and funders increasingly focused on measurable impact and systems change.17:22 Anna explains that foundations want to see how The Rose improves access to care, not just provides mammograms, and that she must back the story with data and outcomes.18:37 To grant officers, she stresses that funding mammograms means supporting comprehensive care for women who anchor families and economies, and helping The Rose plug gaps in local health systems.19:35 Anna emphasizes that the relationship with patients does not end with a normal or abnormal mammogram; navigators connect women to treatment, primary care, and reminders for future screening.21:08 Roxann closes by thanking Anna for explaining how every dollar is stewarded; Anna credits clinic and community staff for doing the on‑the‑ground work that makes her grant writing possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Breast cancer diagnoses are rising among younger women, including many who are not yet old enough for routine mammograms. What warning signs should women in their 20s, 30s and early 40s recognize, and what should they do when a concern is dismissed?Host Johanna Gomez, a breast cancer survivor, speaks with Dr. Starr Mautner, breast surgical oncologist, and Dr. Reshma Mahtani, chief of Breast Medical Oncology at Baptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer Institute. They explain why knowing what is normal for your body, understanding your personal risk and advocating for proper imaging or a biopsy can make a critical difference. Why breast cancer rates are increasing in younger women  Lumps, skin changes, nipple changes and other symptoms that should not be ignored  How lifestyle, alcohol use, genetics and family history may affect risk  When screening should begin and why dense breast tissue matters  Why an ultrasound does not replace a mammogram  When to push for a biopsy or seek a second opinion  Fertility preservation and coordinated care for younger patients  Practical steps women can take to protect their breast health Early detection matters. Know your body, understand your risk and do not ignore a change that does not feel normal for you.Host:Johanna GomezAward-Winning Host & JournalistGuests:Starr Mautner, M.D.Breast Surgical OncologistBaptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer InstituteReshma Mahtani, D.O.Chief of Breast Medical OncologyBaptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer InstituteIf you found this episode helpful, you may also enjoy:Life After Breast Cancer: Fear, Healing, and HopeYoung Women and Breast CancerBreast Cancer Survivorship: 10-Years Later

What Your Mammogram Is Missing, And the Technology That Changes Everything Linda Creed wrote The Greatest Love of All. She wrote it in 1977, and when Whitney Houston released it in 1986 it spent fourteen weeks at the top of the charts. One month after it hit number one, Linda died of metastatic breast cancer. She was Dr. Jenn Simmons' hero. And that loss became the reason Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon — and eventually, the reason she walked away from conventional oncology entirely. Because what she found inside that system wasn't healing. It was pattern recognition, symptom suppression, and a mammography screening program that the American College of Physicians now says offers no survival benefit at any age. In this episode, Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Jenn Simmons, integrative oncologist, breast surgeon, and founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, for one of the most important conversations in the show's history. They cover what mammograms actually do and don't do, why thermograms are being misused, why stage zero is not cancer, why bioidentical hormones do not cause breast cancer and may actually be protective, and the FDA-cleared technology Dr. Jenn has built that screens for breast cancer without pain, compression, or radiation — with forty times the resolution of MRI. Every woman needs to hear this episode. And so does every clinician still telling women they can't have hormones after a breast cancer diagnosis. What you'll discover: The story of Linda Creed, writer of The Greatest Love of All, and how her death from metastatic breast cancer became Dr. Jenn's life mission [01:53] What the American College of Physicians published in April 2026 about mammogram screening — and why it confirms what integrative medicine has been saying for years [around 20:00] The mammogram math: screen 2,000 women for ten years, potentially extend one life, diagnose ten with cancer they never needed to know about, and subject 200 to unnecessary biopsies [around 22:00] Why thermograms are not a screening tool for breast cancer and what they should actually be used for [29:39] Why stage zero is not cancer — and why the breast cancer world hasn't renamed it the way other specialties have [38:53] The truth about bioidentical hormones and breast cancer: what the data actually shows, and why women who take hormones after a breast cancer diagnosis have better outcomes [42:01] How PerfeQTion Imaging uses sound waves through a warm water bath to create a 3D reconstruction of the breast — no pain, no compression, no radiation, 40x the resolution of MRI [34:29] How breast cancer is a metabolic disease — and why screening for metabolic dysfunction can identify risk years before it ever shows on imaging [34:29] What it means to give every patient a health plan, not just a treatment plan [around 23:00] Breast health is health. And now there's a better way to protect it. The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.Learn more and find a provider near you at evexias.com Connect with Dr. Terri:

Estrogen dominance is the hidden imbalance behind why your PMS, weight gain, and mood swings all hit at the same time — and most doctors never test for it. Nurse Doza breaks down four clinical reasons your cycle goes sideways: inflammation, dysregulated estrogen, your gut microbiome (the estrobolome), and an inflamed liver. Learn how your gut and liver actually regulate estrogen, why birth control isn't the fix, and the daily habits that restore a healthier, calmer cycle. Featured Product: Boost by MSW Nutrition When your hormones go sideways before your period, energy is usually the first thing to crash — the afternoon wall, the brain fog, the "I could nap standing up" fatigue Nurse Doza describes in this episode. Boost is the multivitamin you can actually feel: 2,500 mcg of methylated B12, a full multivitamin plus B-complex, electrolytes, and plant-based antioxidants including S-acetyl-L-glutathione — with a built-in liver detox support blend to help your body do the clearing work we talked about today.

Can you run with breast implants?As a runner, this was one of my biggest questions before breast augmentation. I worried about everything—would it affect my performance, would recovery be miserable, and yes... I literally thought my implants might end up in my armpits.In this episode, I sit down with my plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Cohen, to talk through the questions every active woman seems to Google before surgery. We cover implant placement, recovery, getting back to running, lifting weights, and how newer techniques are changing the experience for athletes.More importantly, we talk about making decisions that are right for you. There isn't one way an athlete is supposed to look, and you don't have to choose between feeling strong and feeling feminine.If you're a runner considering breast implants—or you just want an honest conversation about body image, confidence, and making informed decisions—I think you'll enjoy this one.Topics covered:• Running with breast implants• Recovery after breast augmentation• Over vs. under the muscle implants• Returning to exercise• Breast implants for athletes• Body confidence & making decisions for yourself

At just 32 years old, Keisha Kinison was working in women's health when she suddenly found herself as the patient. In this episode, we'll talk about what it was like to discover her diagnosis before a physician had the chance to call, why she made the difficult decision to change doctors during treatment, how her experience transformed her and the incredible support that helped carry her through.

She is remarkably well qualified to provide guidance for prevention and treatment of breast cancer, and runs a model program at Mount Sinai in New York (←we'll get into why I say that).She has just published a terrific book that centers around the concept of informed optimism. Many of her patient stories are integrated.We tried to cover the waterfront during our conversation including:—4 Ws for reduction of risk: weight, walking, wine, and working out (especially in Nature, “green exercise”)—Only 10-12% of women will ever develop breast cancer during their lives —Role of adipocytes (fat cells), aka estrogen and inflammation factories—Misinformation (underlying the need for this book)—Pervasive myths of magic supplements, with safety issues of unregulated intravenous drips and others when analyzed turned out to be crushed up, dried house plants—Total body MRI: mixed results from her patients —Breast cancer on the rise in young women. Dr. Port relates about recent patients diagnosed in their 20s. Some without BRCA or other pathogenic mutation. Why?—Mammograms in non-dense breasts pick up 80-90% of breast cancer. It's the 40-50% women with dense breasts, which the scan is trying to find a polar bear in a snowstorm, is a problem. The problem with false-positives.—Use of AI with mammography for increased initial detection, prevention, detect high-risk in women with a “normal” mammogram, and risk of heart disease (see my recent Ground Truths and piece in The Lancet on this important topic)—Mount Sinai provides Transpara AI (the one validated by the big Sweden trial of >100,000 women) to all women getting mammograms FOR FREE. That is the best validated AI tool in medicine today!—How a mammogram saved a patient's life, not about breast cancer!—Hormone replacement and birth control pills. How to assess benefit and risk in women young and older? Differences in the hormone risks.—Tamoxifen for primary prevention in high-risk people. Reduction of breast cancer in 50% or more in these women. In some subgroups reduction as high as 80%!—GLP-1 drugs may reduce breast cancer risk and this may not just be related to weight loss—Lack of utilization of Genetic testing (it could be your father).

BUFFALO, NY – June 24, 2026 – A new research paper was published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on June 9, 2026, titled “TRAIL-R2 in the shadows: Epigenetic silencing and clinical implications in breast cancer.” The study was led by first author Nuzhat Khursheed from the University of Kashmir and corresponding authors Asia Asiaf from the Central University of Kashmir and Showkat Ahmad Ganie from the University of Kashmir. Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. While advances in diagnosis and treatment have improved outcomes for many patients, researchers continue to investigate the molecular changes that enable tumor cells to survive, grow, and spread. One process receiving increasing attention is epigenetic regulation, in which genes are switched on or off without altering the underlying DNA sequence. In this study, researchers examined TRAIL-R2, also known as death receptor 5 (DR5), a protein that plays an important role in triggering apoptosis, the programmed cell death process that helps eliminate damaged or abnormal cells. Loss of apoptotic signaling is a hallmark of cancer, but the clinical significance and epigenetic regulation of TRAIL-R2 in breast cancer have remained incompletely understood. The investigators analyzed matched tumor and adjacent normal breast tissue samples from 67 patients. Using methylation-specific PCR, quantitative real-time PCR, and western blotting, they evaluated TRAIL-R2 promoter methylation as well as its gene and protein expression levels. The analysis revealed that TRAIL-R2 was frequently silenced in breast tumors. More than half of tumor samples showed promoter hypermethylation, a chemical modification that can suppress gene activity. At the same time, both TRAIL-R2 mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly lower in tumor tissues than in adjacent normal breast tissue. Further analysis demonstrated that TRAIL-R2 hypermethylation was more common in invasive ductal carcinoma, the most common subtype of breast cancer, and in patients with a history of oral contraceptive use. Reduced TRAIL-R2 expression was also associated with advanced tumor stage and several clinicopathological features linked to more aggressive disease. The researchers observed a strong inverse relationship between promoter methylation and TRAIL-R2 expression, suggesting that epigenetic silencing may contribute directly to loss of this important apoptotic receptor. Tumors with reduced TRAIL-R2 activity may become less susceptible to programmed cell death, potentially allowing cancer cells to survive and progress.

What Makes a Sports Bra Actually Work?A conversation with Nicola, senior researcher in bra and breast biomechanics at the University of PortsmouthIn this episode, I speak with Nicola about the science behind sports bras, breast movement, and what actually contributes to support during activity.Nicola works in breast and bra biomechanics, a field that looks at how breast tissue moves, how that movement changes during different activities, and how bras can help control that movement. We talk about why sports bras are much more than a comfort item: they are an important piece of equipment that can affect whether women feel able to run, train, compete, and stay physically active.A major focus of the conversation is a University of Portsmouth study looking at how different sports bra design features affect performance. The study tested 98 sports bras on 77 women in 34B and 34D sizes to understand which design features reduced breast movement during running.The paper identified five key sports bra characteristics linked to performance:Bra style: Encapsulation and combination styles performed better than compression-only styles.Material: Bras made primarily from nylon performed better than those made primarily from polyester.Underband adjustability: Adjustable underbands were linked with better support than pullover styles.Padding: Padding appeared to contribute to movement reduction, not just modesty.Neckline height: Higher necklines were associated with better support than lower necklines.One of the most interesting parts of the episode is the idea that sports bra performance is not just about making a bra tighter. Breast tissue moves forward and back, side to side, and up and down, and different sports create different movement patterns. This means a bra that works well for running may not be the same bra someone wants for weightlifting, rowing, golf, or other sports.Nicola also explains why compression bras are not always enough, especially for larger cup sizes. Compression styles hold the breasts against the chest wall, while encapsulation styles support each breast individually. Combination styles can offer both the structure of encapsulation and the familiar “held in” feeling of compression.We also discuss how much is still unknown. Even after identifying several design features that contribute to sports bra performance, a large portion of what makes a sports bra work remains unexplained. That leaves room for more research into fit, materials, movement, comfort, breathing, and sport-specific design.Sports bras are often treated as a simple clothing purchase, but this conversation frames them as a health and participation issue. A poorly fitting or poorly performing sports bra can affect comfort, confidence, posture, breathing, and whether someone wants to keep participating in sport or exercise.Nicola also talks about the importance of getting this information to the people who need it, including athletes, school girls, and everyday consumers. The goal is not just better products, but better education, so women and girls know they do not have to accept pain, discomfort, or lack of support as normal.Referenced paper: Norris, M., Blackmore, T., Horler, B., & Wakefield-Scurr, J.

Most of the menopause conversation happening right now, on social media, in podcasts, in the press, is aimed at women going through a natural hormonal transition. But there is a population of women whose menopause arrived differently. Suddenly and surgically. In the middle of one of the most frightening experiences of their lives, a cancer diagnosis or a high-risk prevention decision. This episode is for those women. And for every woman who loves one of them. My mother was 50 years old, on hormone therapy, when her breast cancer was diagnosed. Nobody talked about menopause then, what her future would look like, how the diagnosis would affect her long-term health, or what her options were. It wasn't until I was in my mid-forties, two decades later, that my own doctor finally brought up perimenopause. My guest, Elana Silber, CEO of Sharsheret, a national nonprofit supporting women, men, and families facing breast and ovarian cancer. Elana has spent her career at the intersection of cancer, women's health, and community, and she brings both professional expertise and deep personal commitment to one of the most underreported conversations in the menopause space: what happens when cancer forces the conversation. In this episode, we cover: The difference between natural menopause and surgically or chemically induced menopause after cancer treatment What breast and ovarian cancer diagnosis means for a woman's hormonal health, immediately and long-term Navigating survivorship and menopause simultaneously, the symptoms, the decisions, and the silence around both Hereditary cancer risk and what women need to know before menopause arrives How Sharsheret supports women and families through diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship If this episode resonates with you, share it with the women in your life navigating cancer, survivorship, or a hereditary risk decision. This is a conversation that needs to reach further than it currently does. Medical Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

What happens when a doctor becomes the patient?This week, Zoe sits down with GP, broadcaster and author Dr Punam Krishan for a powerful conversation about motherhood, health and what happens when we put ourselves last.Following her recent breast cancer diagnosis, Punam reflects on recovery, the traumatic birth of her first child, severe postnatal depression, and the moment she realised that while everyone was focused on the baby, nobody was asking how she was.Together, Zoe and Punam explore the "maternal health penalty" - why so many mothers normalise exhaustion, pain and overwhelm - and what needs to change so mothers receive the care and support they deserve.

On this episode of SurgOnc Today, Dr. Tari King and Dr. Austin Williams join Dr. Kara Button to discuss their paths into breast surgical oncology, from early training and pivotal mentorship moments to the decisions that shaped their careers. We explore how each navigated the transition from training to practice, how their definitions of success have evolved over time, and what has guided the roles they've chosen to take on, or step away from. They also reflect on the realities of day-to-day practice, how they structure their clinical and academic work, and what surprises them most about life as a breast surgical oncologist. Finally, they share advice for medical students and residents interested in the field, including how to find meaningful mentorship, build early experiences, and think intentionally about training and career decisions.

What does it look like when fifth-generation farming meets modern food entrepreneurship? For Sue Heward of Singing Magpie Produce in Monash, South Australia, it looks like sun-dried Smyrna quinces, semi-dried black and white figs, vine-ripened Shiraz grapes dried on the vine, and artisan gift boxes that tell the full story of the Riverland. In this rich, grounded conversation recorded on the Heward family orchard, Tawnya Bahr sits down with Sue and her father Frank - a man who has farmed this property for over 60 years - to trace 105 years of family growing history, the birth of Sue’s business, Singing Magpie Produce nearly a decade ago, and the hard-won lessons of building a value-added food brand from the ground up.

Could your sleepless nights, mood swings, joint pain, or "I just don't feel like myself" feelings be connected to perimenopause? Do you really need hormone testing to know what is happening? And is menopause hormone therapy actually as scary as we were once told?  Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Dr. Amy Voedisch, hosts of OvaryActive and co-authors of Estrogen, Interrupted, join Dr. Lora Shahine for this episode of Brave & Curious. Their conversation opens up a thoughtful, funny, and myth-busting conversation about menopause, perimenopause, hormone health, and why women deserve to understand their bodies. They also explain the difference between menopause and perimenopause, why symptoms can start years before periods stop, why hormone labs often do not tell the full story, and how symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, anxiety, vaginal dryness, weight changes, itchy ears (yes, we said "itchy ears"), burning mouth, and joint pain can all fit into the bigger picture. Perimenopause is often a "story-based" diagnosis rather than a single lab result, and treatment options are available. This conversation will walk listeners through all of that and more. Listeners will feel informed, validated, and ready to ask better questions.

He explains the strengths and limitations of current screening strategies, reviews the recommendations from major medical organizations, and discusses why screening guidance can often seem confusing or contradictory. Peter outlines a practical framework for understanding breast cancer risk and personalizing screening decisions, including when to begin screening, how frequently to screen, and which imaging modalities may be most appropriate based on an individual's risk profile. Throughout the episode, he emphasizes that while population-based guidelines provide an important foundation, optimizing outcomes requires a more personalized approach aimed at helping women make informed screening decisions that can improve the chances of early detection and successful treatment. We discuss: Why women still die from breast cancer: the benefits of screening, the problem of under-screening, and the need for risk-based screening strategies [1:45]; Current screening recommendations, why they differ between organizations, and the importance of personalized screening decisions [6:30]; A framework for personalizing screening [8:45]; Assessing baseline breast cancer risk: genetics, family history, breast density, lifestyle factors, and the role of risk calculators in personalized screening [9:30]; Balancing cancer detection and false positives: how breast cancer risk influences screening intensity and imaging choices [17:45]; Mammography as the foundation of breast cancer screening: detecting ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and the advantages of 3D versus 2D mammography [21:00]; MRI for high-risk women: the benefits of supplemental screening, abbreviated MRI, and the emerging role of contrast-enhanced mammography [23:00]; The role of ultrasound: supplemental cancer detection, diagnostic evaluation, and limitations compared with mammography and MRI [26:00]; Choosing the right breast cancer screening strategy: imaging modality selection, screening hierarchies, and the importance of imaging center quality [28:00]; How often should you screen for breast cancer?

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Episode Introduction Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, author, keynote speaker, and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, hosts this solo episode focused on cardiovascular and general health prevention. Drawing on a recent paper from the University of Chicago, Dr. Bishop explores how primary care physicians can best prioritize preventative interventions to save the most lives. The episode aims to help patients and their loved ones understand which preventative strategies deliver the greatest health benefits. Key Takeaways: A University of Chicago study identified 42 different preventative interventions and ranked them by their ability to reduce mortality and morbidity, highlighting the challenge of covering all of them in a single medical consultation. Pre-exposure prevention for HIV in high-risk individuals ranks as the single most impactful intervention for gaining future life-years, yet it remains significantly underused in primary care settings. Breast cancer reduction medication (anti-estrogen and anti-aromatase drugs) for high-risk individuals ranks second in preventative value, a fact that surprises many, including Dr. Bishop himself. Pre-exposure prevention counseling for intravenous drug use ranks third, requiring primary care physicians to engage in sensitive but critically important conversations. Statin therapy for primary prevention ranks fourth overall and is considered underappreciated and underused, despite strong evidence supporting its benefits. Alcohol counseling and weight loss/dietician referral round out the top six patient-centered interventions, reflecting the ongoing importance of lifestyle modification. When ranked by efficient use of doctor's time rather than pure patient benefit, the list shifts slightly, with hepatitis B screening and hypertension screening entering the top six. For a practical real-world example, a 65-year-old overweight woman would be prioritized for statins, weight loss counseling (potentially including GLP-1 medications), and colorectal cancer screening, followed by reassessment. Not all preventative screenings are equally valuable — cervical screening ranks lower than commonly assumed, while breast cancer risk-reduction medication ranks far higher than most patients or doctors expect. Patients are encouraged to arrive at medical appointments informed and prepared, knowing their personal risk factors so they can make the most of limited consultation time.

At 34 years old, Katelyn Armstrong was living what many would consider a healthy lifestyle. As a wellness influencer, she exercised regularly, prioritized nutrition, and focused on overall well-being. Breast cancer was the last thing she expected to hear.In this powerful conversation, Katelyn shares her journey through a triple-positive breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and the often-overlooked mental health challenges that follow. She opens up about advocating for herself when she knew something wasn't right, navigating the impact cancer had on her marriage, and making the deeply personal decision to remain flat after a double mastectomy.Katelyn also discusses how social media became a lifeline during treatment, helping her find connection, community, and ultimately a new purpose. Today, she uses her experience as both a survivor and mental health professional to support others facing the emotional realities of cancer.This episode is an honest conversation about identity, healing, survivorship, self-acceptance, and why mental health deserves a seat at the table in every cancer journey.In This Episode We Discuss:• Being diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer at age 34• The importance of trusting your instincts and advocating for yourself• Mental health challenges during and after treatment• How cancer impacted her marriage and relationships• Choosing to remain flat after a double mastectomy• Finding connection and community through social media• The realities of survivorship and identity after cancer• Supporting other survivors through mental health coaching• Why young women should pay attention to breast health• The importance of open conversations and early detectionFind Kate on TikTok and IG: @k8armstr0ng/

How do you feel about mammograms?  Have you had one?  More than one?  Or, are you feeling guilty or reckless for not getting one yet?  Conventional medical dogma is definitely to get regular mammograms.  Mammograms are our first line of defense against breast cancer.   You probably personally know someone who has encouraged you to get a mammogram because a mammogram discovered cancer in them or someone they love, and they want to make sure you're taking care of your health by getting screened before it's too late.  We're very indoctrinated that mammograms save lives.  Too bad they don't.https://auria.care/science  coupon code: drjenn20U.S.  QT imaging locations: https://www.qtimaging.com/locations/ Dr Jenn Simmons' Podcast episodes:11,  34,  64,  96,  125,  142,  144Cochrane report on mammographic screeningBoobs: The War on Breasts Documentary by Megan SmithArticle in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine to an article called “Mammography Screening is Harmful and Should be Abandoned.”Are you ready to give your cells their best chance to not have to stop living before they die by allowing them access to physiologic levels of hormones, but aren't sure how to even get started?  Join the waitlist for my new beta program here and help me figure out how best to help wonderful women like you get the hormone care they deserve!Join the Waitlist HereCome visit me: www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com

BEEF I've been saying for weeks to stay ahead of your needs, and I'm going to reiterate, stay ahead of your needs, as demand does seem to be ticking up a bit. Weekly harvest is not moving up to help meet that demand. Last week's harvest was 528K head, down from the prior week's 535K head. While middle meats are struggling to move higher, ground beef is on the march higher every day. Retail ground beef is now averaging over $7/# for the first time…ever. I don't see this backing off any time soon. Increases in chucks and rounds are very modest but they are moving higher again. Thin meats, briskets, flanks, sirloin flap, are showing some weakness, we could see a correction on this over the next couple of weeks, but it will be pretty minor. Staying with the theme, keep ahead of your needs. POULTRY Boneless Skinless breasts decline again for next week. Getting to be a pretty big spread between breast meat and tenderloins, tenderloins holding pretty steady. Wings holding steady next week too. Production continues over last year running almost 3% up from over last year. Breast meat is turning into a great value as the price declines. On the Avian flu beat, a really good week, two new cases totaling 11,600 ducks.  GRAINS Corn declined this week, closing today at $4.62 down from last week's $4.75 close. Wheat was showing signs of a bit of a run, but that is about done, we could see wheat decline over the next couple weeks. Soy was actually showing some weakness, until Tuesday this week, soy is now on the move higher. This could be short lived, but right now, soy oil is moving up.  PORK Pork bellies bottomed out last week at $104. Today's close $112. Still a great value for this time of year, I'm buying bacon. Summer is typically a high demand time for butts and ribs, and both are moving up steadily. Loins continue to be a great protein value. DAIRY CME Last week the CME looked like it was going to move overall lower. This week thru Thursdays close, butter is up 3 while block and barrel both declined another 5 cents. We'll keep watching but I don't see much to push higher in the short term. Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Is progesterone the same as a progestin? It sounds like it should be. It is absolutely not. And that distinction matters more than most women — and many providers — realize.This is the conversation Dr. Carolyn Moyers has multiple times a day in clinic — especially with women in perimenopause who are trying to understand their options, figure out why a previous hormone regimen made them feel worse, or advocate for a prescription that actually fits their biology. It is also one of the most consequential mix-ups in all of menopause medicine, and it is long overdue for a dedicated episode.Bioidentical progesterone and synthetic progestins are not interchangeable. They have different molecular structures, different receptor profiles, and meaningfully different effects on your breast tissue, your cardiovascular system, your sleep, and your brain. The WHI study — the one that scared a generation of women off hormone therapy — tested a synthetic progestin, not bioidentical progesterone. And the breast cancer finding it reported was not even statistically significant. That context has been almost entirely missing from the public conversation. Until now.In this episode:• What bioidentical progesterone actually is — and how it differs from synthetic progestins at the molecular level• The WHI study: what it actually tested, and why its results have been misapplied for 20+ years• Breast cancer risk: the ESTHER study and what the evidence actually shows• Cardiovascular differences between progesterone and MPA (Provera)• Why progesterone is a neuroactive steroid — and what that means for your sleep, anxiety, and mood• Uterine protection: what it is, why it matters, and whether bioidentical progesterone is sufficient• What to do if you don't have a uterus — and whether you still need progesterone• Perimenopause: why the progestogen conversation is completely different when you still have cycles, variable ovarian function, and potentially need contraception• The levonorgestrel IUD, norethindrone acetate 5mg vs. the minipill, and Slynd (drospirenone 4mg) — what each one does and who it's for• Exactly how to advocate for yourself at your next appointmentResources mentioned:• ESTHER Study (Fournier et al.) — progesterone vs. MPA and breast cancer risk• Women's Health Initiative (2002)• Prometrium prescribing information• Labia Logic (@labialogic) — vulvovaginal specialists | Memorial Day vulvar health post: instagram.com/p/DYqK9uvj2M8• Sky Women's Health Podcast — Episode 158: Progesterone Intolerance | podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/episode-158-progesterone-intolerance/id1541657642?i=1000640152675Work with Dr. Moyers: skywomenshealth.com | In-person: Fort Worth, TX | Virtual: Texas & West Virginia

"Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak." (William Congreve)It is often said that music is healing, but what are some ways that this truism plays out in practice? Jon Batiste recently collaborated with Joanne Loewy of Mount Sinai on a study that advances “social music” as a prescription for better health outcomes. That's just one angle. This hour, guest host Mona Seghatoleslami talks about the benefits of music on healing and health, particularly mental health, in our community and world. We discuss music therapy and expressive arts with Jennifer Philips, a board-certified music therapist and neurologic music therapist, specializing in early intervention, elder care, and neurorehabilitation. She is also chair of the Expressive Arts Department at the Hochstein School. Annika Bentley shares her experiences as a classical choral musician and singer/songwriter, focusing on the upcoming Mount Hope World Singers concerts, "Bright Threads." The program reinterprets historical and cultural examples of music used for healing, and centers on themes of shared humanity and restorative connection. We also talk with Gaelen McCormick, director of the Eastman Performing Arts Medicine Center, who dives into the work that she and her colleagues are doing at the intersections of music and medicine.

We've been talking about this with CEO Jake Leach for a while now – it will be a 50% smaller with what they're calling advanced sensing capabilities. According to Leach, G8 will adapt to the physiologic variability of each user. It has additional technology built in, based on a new silicon chip design and algorithm. 15 day wear is now the baseline for all Dexcom sensors moving forward. At launch the G8 will only measure glucose but the plan is for a multi-analyte version to follow. That would measure ketones and potassium. Ketones we know – but potassium is very important for people with kidney and possible for people taking some diabetes meds. It's an interesting space to watch.. btw, analyte is just a medical word for the specific thing you're measuring – the target of the test you're running. we're going to hear that word a lot I think..   Looks like an FDA submission for the G8 next year.. with an outside the US launch the following year. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/dexcom-unveils-next-gen-g8-cgm/ XX Glucotrack has submitted its implantable continuous blood glucose monitor (CBGM) for FDA IDE, that's investigational device exemption and would enable the company to initiate a U.S. clinical study for the fully implantable technology. Rutherford, New Jersey-based Glucotrack's device features no on-body external component. The company aims to offer it for three years of continuous, accurate blood glucose monitoring for a more convenient, less intrusive solution. Unlike traditional CGMs that measure glucose in interstitial fluid, the CBGM measures glucose levels directly from the blood. The implant goes five centimeters within the subclavian vein. Glucotrack's active implantable device has a small battery and some electronics that go just under the skin in the pectoral region. The location of the implant is not in a major vessel, but the implant can measure real-time glucose levels as pulsatile blood flows over the tip of the sensor. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/glucotrack-submits-long-term-implantable-cbgm-fda-ide/ XX PharmaSens today announced the publication of data from the first clinical study evaluating its all-in-one insulin patch pump offering. The all-in-one pump pairs the Niaa Essential insulin patch pump with the SynerG continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor developed by Pacific Diabetes Technologies. However, this system would be one device that features both the pump and CGM technology.   PharmaSens and SiBionics also have a collaboration aimed at developing the all-in-one solution. They are jointly developing the next-generation Niia insulin patch pump with a SiBionics CGM. PharmaSens expects a second feasibility study in the second quarter to evaluate the next-generation pump with SiBionics' CGM.   PharmaSens says the clinical feasibility study of Niia demonstrated for the first time ever that the combined offering is, in fact, feasible. It believes its device addresses the need for alternatives to multi-device diabetes management. systems.   Aggregated MARD for the investigational device came in at 11.6%. A MARD target of less than 10% is considered ideal for CGM devices, but PharmaSens said that, in the context of the early feasibility study, the results were encouraging and provide evidence supporting the development of an all-in-one system. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/pharmasens-efs-insulin-patch-pump-cgm/ XX   XX ViCentra launches the newest version of the Kaleido pump system in Europe. This is that small colorful pump, with Diabeloops algorithm and the Dexcom G7. It'll be in Germany and the Netherlands later this summer. https://hellokaleido.com/vicentra-announces-commercial-launch-of-new-smartphone-controlled-kaleido-automated-insulin-delivery-patch-pump-system/--   XX Diabeloop just got CE Mark approval for DBLG2 integrations – it's latest AID platform the company has kicked off the gradual European launch of the technology. It currently offers DBLG2 as a smartphone application on Android, with iOS integration coming soon. As you just heard, it's integrated with kaleido and the company says it plans to make additional configuration for DBLG2 with alternative pumps "available soon." Running on a user's smartphone, DBLG2 works as a self-learning algorithm. It continuously analyzes glucose data, calculates insulin needs in real time and automatically adjusts delivery. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/diabeloop-fda-next-gen-algorithm-g7/   XX Among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the initiation of GLP-1-based therapy was associated with a lower risk for all-cause death, several cardiovascular outcomes, all-cause hospitalisations, and hypoglycaemia, without a higher risk for diabetic ketoacidosis.   METHODOLOGY: Researchers in Greece conducted a retrospective cohort study utilising real-world data from a global health research network to evaluate the association between GLP-1-based therapy and cardiovascular and renal outcomes in adults with T1D. A total of 4088 patients receiving GLP-1-based therapies (median age, 43 years; 34.3% men) were propensity score matched with an equal number of patients not receiving the treatment. The risk for hypoglycaemia was lower with GLP-1-based therapy (hazard ratio, 0.72; P = .021); however, the risk for diabetic ketoacidosis did not differ significantly between the two groups. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/glp-1-drugs-tied-cardiovascular-benefits-t1d-2026a1000fbx   XX Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced detailed results from two late-phase trials showing that people with obesity maintained their weight loss long term with either Foundayo or lower-dose Zepbound after switching from higher doses of injectable incretin therapy. The findings from SURMOUNT-MAINTAIN and ATTAIN-MAINTAIN, were presented at the 33rd European Congress on Obesity (ECO) and published in The Lancet and Nature Medicine, respectively.   "Weight regain remains one of the biggest challenges in obesity care, and is often the result of treatment interruptions that cause biology to work against patients, undoing the progress they've made," said Louis J. Aronne, M.D., FACP, DABOM, founder and Chair Emeritus of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, former president of The Obesity Society, Fellow of the American College of Physicians, world-renowned obesity specialist and Lilly consultant. "These medicines can be used for long-term maintenance today, and results from SURMOUNT-MAINTAIN and ATTAIN-MAINTAIN provide additional evidence of their potential when switching from higher doses of injectable incretin therapy." https://investor.lilly.com/news-releases/news-release-details/lillys-foundayo-and-lower-dose-zepbound-helped-people-maintain XX Scientists in Sweden have developed a more reliable way to create insulin-producing cells from human stem cells. These lab-grown cells not only respond strongly to glucose but were also able to restore blood sugar control when transplanted into diabetic mice. When transplanted into diabetic mice, the cells gradually restored the animals' ability to regulate blood sugar. Long way to go, as we say with most of these mice studies. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/05/260505234620.htm XX Interesting look at how the body controls sugar storage – apparently this finding challenges long-standing biology concepts and could open new directions for disease treatment. Published in Nature, the study describes a potential method for directly reducing glycogen, the stored form of sugar in the body. These scientists discovered that glycogen can be directly regulated by ubiquitin, a protein best known for marking damaged proteins for recycling or removal. The study is the first to show that ubiquitin can regulate glycogen in humans, overturning more than 50 years of scientific understanding. Excess glycogen is also associated with more common health problems, including diabetes, obesity, liver disease, and heart disease.       https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-just-rewrote-biology-hidden-mechanism-could-transform-diabetes-treatment/ XX A new Oklahoma law will give parents the option to have their children screened for Type 1 Diabetes.   The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in the Legislature and takes effect Nov 1. Oklahoma consistently ranks among the states with the highest rates of diabetes and diabetes-related deaths. The law gives parents access to antibody testing that can detect risk years before symptoms develop, helping families take preventive action and avoid emergency room visits. https://journalrecord.com/2026/05/11/oklahoma-law-expands-access-type-1-diabetes-screening/ XX More to come including a new study trying to figure out why some people are more likely to develop diabetes, a look at cannabis and preventing metabolic disorders, and XX   A National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded study has identified key differences in human pancreatic islet cells that may help explain why some people are more likely to develop diabetes. Researchers found that the mix of hormone-producing cells in the pancreas varies widely from person to person, and that variation plays a central role in how the body regulates blood sugar. The study involved a deep dive into islet cell function that is linked to donor traits associated with observable characteristics, or phenotype, such as sex, race and ethnicity, as well as genetic information, or genotype, including predicted ancestry and genetic risk for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The findings highlight that islet cell composition, rather than the physical size and shape of islets, is a key factor in regulating hormone release. The team found that the makeup of pancreatic islets plays a major role in how effectively they release insulin and glucagon — key hormones that regulate blood glucose. Islets with a higher proportion of insulin-producing beta cells showed stronger insulin secretion in response to various stimuli, while higher levels of alpha and delta cells were generally linked to reduced insulin output. In addition, the researchers found that islet hormone secretion is affected by donor traits, such as sex, race and ethnicity and their genetic makeup, including ancestry predicted from genetic testing and genetic risk for type 2 diabetes. Combined, the findings of the study have significant implications for understanding the factors that may predispose people to diabetes. "This study is the tip of the iceberg," said Dr. Evans-Molina. "We hope this dataset becomes useful to the entire diabetes research community and that researchers use it to answer questions about the genotype-phenotype correlation within these data."   https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-funded-study-maps-human-pancreatic-islet-cells-offering-new-clues-diabetes-risk XX XX XX Research published recently in JAMA Network Open offers illuminating evidence suggesting there is a positive association between GLP-1 agonists—drugs commonly used to treat obesity and diabetes—and better outcomes among breast cancer patients.   "This study suggests that GLP-1 drugs may offer protective benefits potentially improving survival and recurrence risk in some female patients with breast cancer – whether this is related to weight control, improve cardiovascular health or other mechanisms remains to be studied," said study senior author Bernard F. Fuemmeler, Ph.D., MPH, associate director for population sciences and the Gordon D. Ginder, M.D., Chair in Cancer Research at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center.   Breast cancer patients who are also obese or have type 2 diabetes experience more aggressive cancer growth and worse outcomes. Prior studies have shown that weight loss treatment and surgery following a breast cancer diagnosis are associated with improved heart health and increased survival.   What are GLP-1 drugs? Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). Approved to treat type 2 diabetes in 2005 and weight management in 2021. Impacts on breast cancer survival and recurrence are still unclear. Since 2020, the use of these drugs has increased dramatically, where approximately 12% of Americans have used GLP-1s for weight loss, according to a RAND report.   The research findings Through a retrospective cohort study examining the electronic health records of more than 840,000 breast cancer patients who were diagnosed between 2006 and 2023, the results suggest there is a potential link between GLP-1 RAs and improved outcomes among breast cancer patients who are also obese or have type 2 diabetes.   GLP-1 RA use was associated with an overall lower risk of death from any cause over a 10-year follow-up period among breast cancer patients. Additionally, breast cancer survivors who used GLP1-RAs for diabetes or obesity had a significantly lower risk of their cancer returning over 10 years following their initial treatment.   "Our findings align with emerging preclinical research and contribute to a growing body of literature related to GLP-1 RA use in oncology settings," said study lead author Kristina L. Tatum, PsyD, MS, of the VCU School of Public Health.   What's next? Further studies are needed to understand the biological mechanisms, if any, between GLP-1 RAs and breast cancer outcomes. The research team intends to further evaluate these correlations through randomized clinical trials.   "Our study underscores the potential of GLP-1 RAs as an adjunct strategy for improving cancer-related outcomes among patients with breast cancer, although clinical trials are needed to inform effective therapeutic approaches and clinical decision making," Fuemmeler said. https://www.oncology-central.com/could-glp-1-receptor-agonists-improve-outcomes-for-breast-cancer-patients-with-obesity-or-with-type-2-diabetes/ XX Researchers at UC Riverside gave cannabis to obese mice and found that not only did the rodents lose weight, but when given a concentrated cannabis oil, the mice also saw striking benefits in their metabolic function. DiPatrizio said his team studied the issue to better understand why cannabis users show significant reductions in weight and risk for diabetes compared with nonusers. "We would think that chronic cannabis users would be eating more and weigh more, but it's just the opposite," DiPatrizio said. Scientists are increasingly examining the possibility that cannabis compounds could fight obesity or metabolic disorders like diabetes. Cannabinoids interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which partially controls nearly every aspect of our physiology, including metabolism and appetite. That creates the possibility that targeting this widespread system could unlock new therapies for these conditions. https://www.sfgate.com/cannabis/article/cannabis-weight-loss-california-study-22255328.php XX A new campaign launched by diaTribe and Genentech aims to empower and educate people about diabetes-related eye disease. Here's what you can do today to protect your eye health. To help address these barriers, diaTribe and Genentech partnered to launch All Eyes on DME, a new campaign that aims to spread awareness and educate people at-risk for or living with diabetes-related eye conditions like DME. Also partnering in the campaign is actor and comedian Damon Wayans, who wanted to share his journey (and, of course, a joke or two) with type 2 diabetes to open up the conversation about what is often a stigmatized or less talked about topic: eye health and diabetes.   One of these important conversations happened recently at the All Eyes on DME launch in New York City, where Wayans joined a panel of experts, advocates, and people living with DME to talk about diabetes-related eye disease and how to help prevent it. https://www.alleyesondme.com/dme-in-the-spotlight.html https://diatribe.org/diabetes-complications/all-eyes-dme-new-campaign-spotlights-eye-health-and-diabetes

What if the body already knows exactly how to heal… but modern life keeps interrupting the process? In this profoundly emotional and paradigm-shifting conversation, Darin sits down with Australian wellness expert, author, and speaker Andi Lew for a sweeping exploration of trauma, birth, attachment, nervous system regulation, chiropractic philosophy, purpose, intuition, breast implant illness, and the forgotten wisdom of the human body. From the way we enter the world through birth, to the emotional wounds that shape our identities, to the systems that disconnect us from nature and ourselves, this episode is ultimately about one thing: reclaiming your innate intelligence and reconnecting to what it truly means to be human. What You'll Learn Why symptoms like fevers, coughing, and rashes may actually be signs of healing The body's innate intelligence and how modern medicine often suppresses it How trauma and emotional suppression shape physical health outcomes The connection between birth practices, attachment, and nervous system development Why "cry it out" parenting may create emotionally disconnected adults How posture, movement, and chiropractic care impact longevity and vitality The hidden reality of breast implant illness and medical gaslighting How trauma can unconsciously drive cosmetic enhancement

It's constantly communicating, adapting, protecting, and trying to guide us back into alignment. But modern life has disconnected us from that wisdom. Real healing begins the moment we stop suppressing the signals, start listening deeply, and reconnect to nature, purpose, vulnerability, and the innate intelligence already living inside of us."

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Eve: God bless you for all you do. I had a routine mammogram in early 2025, followed by a bilateral breast ultrasound, they recommended 6 month monitoring due to multiple small cysts/masses (I have very dense breasts). I was advised to continue to monitor with ultrasounds every 6 months. At my March 2026 follow-up, they recommended a biopsy because one mass at the 9 o'clock position increased from 1 cm to 1.5 cm. For context, I had a benign biopsy in 2024 in the same breast (10 o'clock) and regret doing it out of fear. I feel that poking and probing can be more harmful. I'm worried about unnecessary procedures but don't want to ignore anything serious. Would short-term monitoring (repeat ultrasound in 3 months) be reasonable? The tech seemed inexperienced, could measurement error be possible?      Eve: Hi it's me again, I wrote in yesterday and after I spoke to my PCP about my hesitation on getting a breast biopsy, she was supportive and said why don't we do an MRI instead to be certain instead of poking and probing before knowing what it really is. The only thing is that it would have to be with contrast. What do you think? Less invasive, more real answers, but the contrast makes me anxious. Can I do a detox if I opt for the MRI vs the breast biopsy? Ty Doc.      Anonymous: Hi! Can you help provide advice on how to help with orange hands/elbows/feet? I've tested extremely high for beta carotene. I'm not sure why as I wasn't eating bushels of carrots, just trying to get a diversity of plants in each week but guess I steer towards vegetables with higher concentrations (squash, dark leafy greens, broccoli etc). I've practically eliminated all sources of it, but still seems not to improve much. Any advice would be helpful as it is embarrassing. Thanks!      Anonymous: Hi! What are your thoughts on using clean sources of nicotine treat things like long COVID, chronic fatigue, brain fog etc.. Thanks!      Nikita: Hi Dr Cabral, After 4 years of heavy hairloss, I finally corrected my iron-deficiency anemia (through prescription iron pills- only thing that worked). 6 months later my hairloss has finally slowed down a lot. However, I'm not noticing any type of regrowth. I'd love to get some of my density back after those 4 years of bad hairloss. I wanted to know your opinion on starting minoxidil for a temporary period of time just to wake up the hair follicles? I never took it before bc I don't want to commit to it forever, but do you think it could work for this case and then maybe I can stop it and the hair won't fall out again because now   Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3733 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
