Podcasts about mammograms

Susan G. Komen stands alongside the rest of the cancer community with deep concern about proposed cuts in the federal budget in addition to significant policy changes which could impact access to high-quality, affordable health care. It is hard to weed through the information and to know where things stand at any moment in time so joining us on the show today is Molly Guthrie, Komen's Vice President of Policy and Advocacy. Molly has intimate knowledge of what is happening at all levels of government and is going to share some insight with us about what is truly going on, as well as what we can all do to bring change to end breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women — but far too often, cultural stigma, language barriers and a lack of tailored education prevent early detection and timely care. To celebrate AANHPI Month, we're joined by Dr. Judy Wang, a national leader in cancer prevention and behavioral science at the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Wang unpacks how breast cancer uniquely impacts AANHPI communities, and why culturally responsive communication is critical in closing gaps in education, screening and survivorship. She also shares how providers, advocates and researchers can better meet AANHPI women where they are — with humility, trust and cultural understanding.

Caregiving can be a very personal role on many levels - assisting a loved one through their cancer diagnosis, helping with daily activities, providing support and helping to make treatment decisions may all be a part of their responsibilities. When young adults are the caregiver taking care of a parent, they face many unique challenges, such as having more duties to juggle and managing their own growing relationships and careers. Harley Stuebgen was just 25 years old when her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. She immediately stepped in as her caregiver and supported her throughout her entire breast cancer journey. For her mother, Kim, the support of her daughter and her greater community gave her the strength and support that she needed to keep going. Their experience highlights the powerful bond between mother and daughter and how allowing people to help can make all the difference.

Laurel Pointer always knew that breast cancer was a possibility, with a strong family history and a confirmed CHEK2 gene mutation. In July 2024, Laurel was diagnosed with stage 1 invasive lobular carcinoma and immediately knew that she wanted a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. Shannon Michaelson has been Laurel's co-worker and close friend for the past 6 years. As soon as Laurel got the news of an irregular mammogram, the two were immediately on the phone and Shannon has been part of Laurel's support team every step of the way. Laurel recently went through the final step of her reconstruction by getting 3D nipple tattoos, with Shannon by her side. These two are committed to supporting each other and the breast cancer community; and today they are here to talk about what the procedure was like and the emotions that have gone with it.

Today's guest is Mallory Tucker, a mother of four and breast cancer survivor from Georgia. She shares her experience with her diagnosis, how she approached the conversation with her children, and the role therapy played in helping her navigate treatment.

The woman details her chemotherapy treatment plan, which includes six rounds of chemotherapy every three weeks, followed by surgery and a year of immunotherapy.

When Jessica Baladad found a cancerous lump in her breast at 33 through a self-exam, it set her on a path not just to survive cancer but to become an advocate for women's health. She created a platform called "Feel for Your Life" to empower women to overcome fear, and financial barriers to take control of their breast health. In this conversation, Jessica shares the intimate details of her diagnosis journey, talks about why breast self-exams are overlooked, and provides actionable advice for dealing with insurance companies that refuse to cover supplemental screenings. Show notes:Feel for your Life: https://www.feelforyourlife.com/Subscribe to the newsletter for more background: https://overlookedpodcast.kit.com/e4b85028b6Want more Overlooked?

Her journey into breast cancer care began with a personal tragedy. At the age of 16, Dr. Jenn's cousin, acclaimed singer-songwriter Linda Creed, died of metastatic breast cancer just weeks after Whitney Houston's recording of her iconic song, "The Greatest Love of All," topped the charts. This loss became a defining moment, inspiring Dr. Jenn to dedicate her life to transforming how we approach breast cancer treatment and prevention.Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years leading the field. However, her perspective changed significantly when she became a patient herself. Through this personal experience, Dr. Jenn saw how broken the conventional medical system can be. This led her to discover and embrace functional medicine, a revelation that sparked her journey towards a more holistic approach to breast cancer care.This personal journey led her to create Real Health MD in 2019, a practice dedicated to holistic healing for breast cancer. It integrates conventional wisdom with root cause medicine and the drivers of health: nutrition, lifestyle changes, detoxification, and stress management. Dr. Jenn's innovative approach doesn't stop there. As the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, she is establishing safe imaging centers across the nation, armed with revolutionary technology that promises to redefine breast cancer screening. This technology is not only fast and safe but also comfortable, affordable, radiation-free, and boasts 40 times the resolution of MRI. It has received FDA clearance, signaling a new era in breast health and breast cancer screening.In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Jenn hosts the "Keeping Abreast" podcast, where she shares her expertise and encourages women to take control of their breast health. Her book, "The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer," challenges conventional wisdom and promotes a holistic approach. It emphasizes the importance of nutrition, lifestyle choices, and addressing environmental toxins, providing practical steps for women seeking to navigate breast cancer treatment and regain control of their health.Beyond her professional endeavors, Dr. Jenn is a devoted wife, mother, stepmother, grandmother, and athlete. Her life's mission is deeply personal, rooted in her cousin's memory, and driven by a desire to make a lasting impact on all those who desire breast health.

If you're struggling with issues affecting your sexuality, you're not alone. Sex and intimacy can be difficult for many women after a breast cancer diagnosis. Joining us today is Amy Rowan, a Certified Clinical Sexologist and Intimacy Coach. She's known as the Suburban Sexologist because she is just like so many of you – a busy, working mom and breast cancer survivor who just gets it. She makes talking about sex seem like the most comfortable thing in the world and she is here today to acknowledge just how hard intimacy after breast cancer can be and to give us some tips on how to deal with emotions and regain intimacy after treatment.

Feeling overwhelmed by the nonstop flood of information about breast cancer? You're not alone—and this episode is here to bring clarity, calm, and empowerment. Dr. Elisa Port, world-renowned breast surgeon and Director of the Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai, joins us for a candid and deeply informative conversation about what every woman needs to know. We dive into the most common myths—like whether deodorant or bras really cause cancer—discuss the truth about screenings, the power of genetic testing, and how to navigate risk in a way that feels proactive, not paralyzing. This is about taking back control in the age of overload, and walking away not with fear, but with facts, tools, and a renewed sense of hope.

Brett Heins went through breast cancer in her late 30s. Kristin Goodman was in her early 40s when she was diagnosed. Both women are well below the average age at diagnosis – 62 – leading them to wonder what caused their cancer to develop. A growing body of research shows lifestyle choices – everything from drinking alcohol to following a healthy diet – influences one's risk of breast cancer.

Are you about to get a mammogram and now worried about the conflicting information? Then tune into this episode with radiologist Dr. Robyn Roth who gives us her side of the story on mammograms and alternatives to breast screening.  You'll either love this episode or hate it, but I like to present both sides of the story. Over the last year I have had numerous guests who warned us of the dangers of mammograms. I had several of you reach out to me wanting me to share the other perspectives out there. So I gathered all the arguments that our guests have talked about in other episodes and presented them at Dr. Robyn to hear her rebuttal. We covered: The fears around mammograms Do mammograms really save lives? Are we over diagnosing and overtreating women? What is the damage that is done on a woman given a false diagnosis? What percentage of DCIS goes on to become an aggressive cancer from her experience? If mammograms don't pick up calcifications on dense breasts, why are we even doing them? What the man who invented mammograms says is the gold standard of breast screening Alternatives to mammograms and how reliable are they? If mammography is not recommended to pregnant women because of the risk of radiation on the fetus, then why are we all getting mammograms? Is a woman really a survivor if she dies at 6 years past her diagnosis instead of the time bias of 5?   Dr. Robyn Roth is an Ivy-league trained board-certified radiologist specializing in Breast and Abdominal Imaging, with over 15 years of clinical experience. She is better known as @TheBoobieDocs, her popular social media platform where she discusses breast cancer and breast health in an educational and fun way. She is a breast cancer specialist who educates, advocates and empowers about the importance of early breast cancer detection and understanding your risk factors. Dr. Roth hosts a podcast, “The Girlfriend's Guide to Breast Cancer, Breast Health, & Beyond” to help those navigating a breast cancer diagnosis.   RESOURCES https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21249649/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7681269/ Contact Dr. Robyn Roth: Instagram @theboobiedocs https://www.instagram.com/theboobiedocs Podcast, the girlfriends guide to breast cancer https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-boobie-docs-the-girlfriends-guide-to-breast/id1586884287  Website: https://theboobiedocs.com Email: theboobiedocs@gmail.com Instagram @theboobiedocs   Give thanks to our sponsors: Qualia senolytics and brain supplements. 15% off with code ZORA here.

In this thought-provoking episode of Keeping Abreast, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Goodyear, a board-certified physician who left conventional oncology to become a pioneer in integrative cancer care. Together, they explore the limitations of traditional treatment models and why the current “war on cancer” mentality may be doing more harm than good.Dr. Goodyear opens up about his personal journey from a traditional medical background to becoming a patient himself—an experience that radically changed his approach to healing. He and Dr. Jenn unpack the deeper truths about cancer: its roots in immune dysfunction, the influence of lifestyle and environment, and the transformative power of epigenetics.This episode doesn't shy away from controversy—from the politicization of medicine to the potential of off-label and repurposed drugs like ivermectin and metformin. It's a bold, necessary conversation about empowering patients, reimagining cancer care, and building a future where treatment is rooted in innovation, integrity, and true healing.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Dr. Goodyear's personal health crisis inspired a complete shift in his approach to cancer care.The “fight” against cancer often becomes a fight against the body—integrative medicine aims to heal, not battle.Cancer is part of the immune system—understanding that changes everything.Cryoablation offers a powerful, less invasive alternative to surgery with promising outcomes.Lifestyle, stress, diet, and toxins play a critical role in cancer development and recurrence.Epigenetic changes can pass through generations, altering cancer risk.Mammograms may not be as protective as once believed—and may lead to overtreatment.The healthcare system often incentivizes drugs over real healing.Repurposed medications like metformin and ivermectin show powerful anti-cancer potential.The term “quack” is weaponized to discredit innovative doctors who challenge the norm.

243: In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Simmons, a former top breast cancer surgeon turned functional medicine expert. We discuss her journey from conventional medicine to a root-cause-focused approach, and what inspired her to launch Real Health MD and perfeQTion Imaging. I had the incredible opportunity to visit her imaging center in Philadelphia for a breast scan, and it was unlike anything I've ever experienced—non-invasive, painless, and completely radiation-free. We talk all about this alternative to traditional mammograms and the many ways women can take proactive steps toward better breast health without fear or discomfort. Topics Discussed: What is perfeQTion Imaging and how does it compare to traditional mammograms? Are there non-invasive and radiation-free options for breast cancer screening? How does functional medicine approach breast cancer prevention and treatment? What are the side effects of traditional breast cancer treatments and are there alternatives? How can lifestyle and diet influence your risk for breast cancer?

Everyone is at risk of breast cancer. Some are more at risk than others due to hereditary factors – such as a family history of cancers – and lifestyle choices that affect our overall health. Knowing your risk of breast cancer can help you decide what steps to take to lower your risk. Joining me today is Dr. Jennifer Ligibel, a Susan G. Komen Scholar and Komen grantee, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Senior Physician at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and an expert on the impact of lifestyle factors, cancer risk and outcomes. Through more than a dozen lifestyle intervention trials, Dr. Ligibel has evaluated the impact of exercise, weight loss, fitness, body composition and quality of life in cancer patients and survivors.

In this conversation, Dr. Marjan Bolouri, a board-certified radiologist specializing in breast imaging, discusses the controversy surrounding mammograms, the historical context of their development, and the importance of early detection in breast cancer. In this conversation, Marjan Bolouri discusses the limitations of current breast cancer screening methods, including the flaws of thermography and QT Imaging and the importance of mammograms. She emphasizes the need for early detection and the role of AI in improving mammogram accuracy.  Radiation from mammograms is minimal compared to other medical imaging. QT imaging lacks sufficient data to be considered a reliable alternative. Thermography is not a reliable method for breast cancer detection. Mobile ultrasound services may lead to false diagnoses. Mammograms are essential for early detection of breast cancer. Radiation exposure from mammograms is minimal compared to daily background radiation.

I had a choice in terms of what would be the best option to remove the invasive ductal carcinoma that I had just learned was in my left breast.  I had recently had a biopsy in a different part of my left breast. Given that there were 2 places that had the potential or were actually problematic, I opted for a mastectomy. I thought that if there were 2 problem areas, there were likely to be more problem areas in that breast. I did not want to take any chances on having more cancer. I also wanted to avoid needing radiation. By removing my left breast via a mastectomy, I was not likely to need radiation to the breast or chest.  In addition to being convinced that there was a storm brewing in my left breast and even possibly other places that could be cancer (there were not), I wanted to avoid any radiation effects on the heart and lung tissues, which were situated nearby the left breast.   I share my personal assessment of the situation and why I chose to have a mastectomy in this episode. I also talk about my experience of looking back and wondering if the mastectomy was the right decision, nearly 2 years later and given the more in-deptch screening that I know have, knowing my risk for developing breast cancer. .   The content of this podcast is not intended to substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Genetic testing would reveal she had the BRCA2 inherited gene mutation that made her at higher risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers. Her experience made her want to educate people about inherited genetic mutations because she had no idea at the time that she was at risk. Lauren is here today to share her story, the preventative measures she has taken for her health and how she is giving back to the breast cancer community.

Breast cancer risk looks different for everyone. Our guests today have an inherited genetic mutation that increased their risk of breast cancer. Without knowing it, they may have passed this gene onto their children. Genetic mutations can increase risk of breast and ovarian cancers in women, and prostate cancer in men. About 10% of breast cancers are genetic – knowing if you have a gene mutation can help you take steps to lower your risk. It can also cause fear and anxieties and force tough conversations with family members about their genes and cancer risk. Shanise Pearce learned in 2020 that she has two inherited gene mutations and was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023. She also has two daughters. Natalie Gutierrez was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 and learned afterward that she carries an inherited gene mutation. She has twin sons. Shanise and Natalie are both living with no evidence of breast cancer and have turned their attention to supporting their children and helping them navigate their cancer risk.

Dinah McClymonds shares her journey with triple negative breast cancer and how regular mammograms detected her condition. She elaborates on her 2016 diagnosis and subsequent chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, until she completed treatment a year later. Dinah had a positive experience with the medical care she received but acknowledges that many women lack such access. Her conversation with Dorothy highlights that early detection can significantly impact outcomes, even for those without a family history of the disease. She stresses the importance of mammograms and the need for broader access to these screenings, especially for uninsured women. Dinah also touches on her role as the chair for the 2025 Everything’s Coming Up Roses Luncheon supporting The Rose.

It is Triple Negative Breast Cancer Day – an annual opportunity to bring more awareness to this aggressive type of breast cancer that is difficult to treat because it lacks an estrogen, progesterone and HER2 receptor. It primarily affects younger women and Black women and can spread quickly and be deadly if left untreated for too long. Treatment for TNBC used to include the toughest forms of chemotherapy, with debilitating side effects – but we've come a long way in how we treat patients with Triple Negative Breast Cancer so their outcomes are better. Today, we are speaking with Dr. Heather McArthur of UT Southwestern. She is a former Susan G. Komen grantee, Professor and the Komen Distinguished Chair in Clinical Breast Cancer Research. Dr. McArthur has been working on a Phase 3 clinical trial called KEYNOTE-522, which is testing whether a specific immunotherapy drug improves overall survival for people with high-risk early Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Dr. McArthur, along with her colleagues, are trying to determine if all people with this type of breast cancer truly need the drug, and if not, who would most benefit from taking it.

Dorothy Gibbons discusses the rising incidence of invasive breast cancer among young women, highlighting the urgency of early detection and proactive health measures. From 2015 to 2019, breast cancer cases in women aged 40 to 49 increased with a concerning trend also noted in younger ages.

Dorothy shares findings from a Canadian study reporting a significant rise in breast cancer among women in their 20s. She emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy and regular check-ups, especially for uninsured or underinsured individuals. Regular screenings and awareness can make a life-saving difference.

Welcome to the Komen Health Equity Revolution podcast series. Each month, we invite in patients, community organizations, health care providers, researchers and policy advocates to discuss strategies and solutions that drive the health equity revolution forward for multiple populations experiencing breast health inequities. In honor of Black History Month, this Komen Health Equity Revolution episode of the Real Pink podcast takes a deep dive into the unique challenges and disparities Black women face in breast cancer care. Joining me is Komen Scientific Advisory Board member Dr. Lisa Newman, a trailblazing breast surgical oncologist and researcher. In this episode, we'll explore the lack of representation of Black bodies in the medical space and its impact on care and treatment. We'll also discuss culturally responsive care, the transformative role of diverse health care providers, and ways to advocate for yourself as a patient. Let's dive into this important conversation.

Breast cancer treatment today is becoming more personalized and more precise. Precision medicine is rapidly expanding the options patients have for treating their cancer while helping them maintain a desired quality of life. A common mutation in breast cancer called PIK3CA affects more than 1 in 3 people with breast cancer, making it harder to treat. This mutation often leads to worse outcomes for these patients compared to others. Scientists are now developing new treatments that target this mutation specifically, aiming to reduce side effects and improve treatment outcomes, such as shrinking tumors or preventing disease progression. Today, we are speaking with Dr. Sarah Sammons of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to explore the exciting new possibilities brought by personalized medicine, including whether it can help slow disease progression and how it can it improve patients' abilities to potentially live more active and productive lives while on treatment.

This is Real Talk, a podcast conversation where we're digging deep into breast cancer and the realities patients and survivors face every day. We're talking openly and honestly about just how difficult breast cancer can be, from being diagnosed to selecting the right treatment plan, to living day to day with metastatic breast cancer, and life after treatment ends.   In today's episode, we're talking about the effect treatment has on sexual health and unwanted side effects women face during breast cancer treatment and life thereafter. Joining us today are Jenn Smith and Nisha Jaime. Jenn is 42 years old, and a 3-year breast cancer survivor. She and her husband have been married for 17 years. Nisha is 45 years old and a 1-year breast cancer survivor. She is also married with 3 school-aged children. Both women are learning to live with the impact breast cancer treatment is having on their bodies, their intimacy and their overall wellbeing.

Have you ever wondered if everything you've been told about breast cancer is true? Are mammograms really as safe and effective as we've been led to believe?

Could there be a better, more personalized approach to breast cancer care? How do overdiagnosis and overtreatment impact women's mental and physical well-being? We delve into these critical questions and explore alternative perspectives on breast cancer treatment that you won't want to miss. What role does estrogen actually play in breast cancer? Are there safer, more empowering choices women can make? Join us as we unpack these intriguing topics, question long-standing assumptions, and invite you to reconsider your own health journey. In this episode, we'll uncover: How mammograms may lead to overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. Why the current system often causes anxiety and fear among women. What the latest research reveals about the efficacy of mammograms. How hormone replacement therapy could be misunderstood in breast cancer discussions. Why personalized care could transform breast cancer outcomes for many women. Listen now to this compelling episode to discover a fresh perspective on breast cancer care.

242: If you have breast cancer, know someone who does, if it runs in your family, or perhaps you or someone you know has already gone through breast cancer treatment, this episode is one to save and definitely listen to. Breast cancer affects EVERYONE—not just the person who has it. Because if we don't have it, we most likely know someone who does or will. It's not something to take lightly, and sadly, there's a lot of misinformation out there about treatment and detection. That's why I have Dr. Jenn Simmons on the show today. She exposes and explains why mammograms can actually increase your risk of getting breast cancer, why soy doesn't contribute to breast cancer, the connection between birth control and breast cancer, whether HRT is harmful or helpful, and the types of HRT we should be getting after breast cancer treatment. We also cover alternative options for mammograms. Plus, we go into how to do a self-examination, why every woman, young and old, should be doing this monthly, and the right time to examine yourself—because that matters too! This might be one of the most important podcast episodes you'll ever listen to. Topics Discussed: Are mammograms causing cancer? How to detect breast cancer without radiation Do underwire bras contribute to breast cancer? Do mastectomies actually prevent you from getting breast cancer? What we're getting wrong when it comes to breast cancer detection How to examine your own breasts Things women are doing that increase our risk for breast cancer and how to minimize that risk HRT myths Soy and breast cancer myths Caring for yourself or others AFTER breast cancer treatment IVF and hormonal birth control Stress and its link to breast cancer Becoming empowered As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.  And if you like this show, please share it, rate it, review it and subscribe to it on your favorite podcast app.  Sponsored By: Manukora Head to MANUKORA.com/DIGEST to get $25 off the Starter Kit Equip Foods Code DIGEST gets you 20% off at Equipfoods.com/digest Fatty15 For 15% off the starter kit go to fatty15.com/digest Our Place Go to fromourplace.com and use code DIGEST for 10% Connect with Dr. Jenn Simmons Go to Auria.care & use code DRJENN20 Website Instagram Podcast YouTube Get her book Check Out Bethany: Bethany's Instagram: @lilsipper YouTube Bethany's Website Discounts & My Favorite Products My Digestive Support Protein Powder Gut Reset Book  Get my Newsletters (Friday Finds)
