In this episode, Dr. Terry and Lisa discuss the potential risks associated with mammography, including radiation exposure, mis-diagnosis, and its limitations in women with dense breast tissue. Mammograms expose women to low levels of ionizing radiation, which can increase the risk of radiation-induced cancers, especially with repeated exposure. They also have a high false-positive rate, leading to unnecessary stress, anxiety, and invasive procedures. Plus, mammograms are less effective in detecting tumors in dense breast tissue, missing up to 50% of cancers.

We explore safer, more effective alternatives like ultrasound and thermography. Ultrasound is a non-invasive, radiation-free option that improves cancer detection, especially in women with dense breasts. It’s a safer, stress-free solution that offers early detection without the need for compression.

Benefits of Ultrasound:
- Non-invasive and no radiation exposure
- Effective for women with dense breast tissue, nursing mothers, and those with implants
- Early detection of small tumors
- Comfortable and easy screening process

We also share proactive ways to minimize cancer risk through lifestyle choices, including eating organic whole foods, reducing stress, eliminating toxins, and nurturing emotional well-being.
