Hi,
Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women during their lifetime, making early detection and prevention essential.
For decades, mammograms have been the standard screening tool, but research now shows they may do more harm than good for some women.
While mammograms can detect cancer early, they also come with risks:
-
Radiation exposure over years of repeat screenings
-
False positives leading to unnecessary biopsies and anxiety
-
Overdiagnosis, resulting in aggressive treatments for cancers that may never progress
The good news? You have choices.
There are safe, non-invasive alternatives like thermography, ultrasound, and MRI — and even more importantly, functional medicine strategies to address the root causes of cancer before it develops.
In our latest blog, we explore:
-
The benefits and hidden risks of mammograms
-
Gentle, radiation-free screening alternatives
-
How toxins, inflammation, hormones, and immune function play a role in breast cancer
-
Advanced functional medicine tests like the Total Tox-Burden Test and DUTCH Test
-
Simple lifestyle shifts to create a body environment where cancer struggles to thrive
When you understand your options, you can take control of your breast health with confidence and clarity.
