Dr Brooke Show #374 Breast Health: Beyond Mammograms

Dr. Brooke Show

Unlike most health conditions for women which have multiple layers of screening and various tests to assess risks and progression, breast health is generally a yearly screening mammogram with little to no conversation about other ways we can improve the health of breast tissue and what other markers beyond a mammogram tell us our risk for breast cancer and generally the state of affairs in our breasts.

In this episode I talk about how to get a much broader view of your beast health and risk using tests for hormone balance vs. just levels of hormones, oxidative stress markers and even how your circadian timing and cortisol impact your breast health and breast cancer risk. There is so much you can do for your breast health! I hope this episode leaves you very empowered to get that info and take some lifestyle steps that make a huge difference and understand how targeted supplements can help when you know exactly what you need to shift things more favorably for your needs.

Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.

One of THE BEST tools for your health is a CGM, continuous glucose monitor. It helps you effortlessly understand what foods work for you and even how stress and sleep impact your blood sugar allowing you to make changes in real time. A CGM also allows you to see your glucose variability (the difference between your highs and lows) which may be as important as how high your blood sugar runs. It’s an amazing tool and Nutrisense has my favorite interface with their app and dietitian support! It’s easy and straightforward and with code BETTEREVERYDAY at checkout you can save 30% off a subscription. Click here and be well on your way to better health.
