Jj Virgin Lifestyle Show

Every woman over 40 should get a mammogram, right? Maybe not.  In today’s episode of the podcast, I’m talking to Dr. Felice Gersh, an award-winning OB/GYN and integrative medicine physician, about the types of breast cancer and the ways we diagnose it. Join us as we delve into the risks and benefits of mammograms and the movement towards early detection. We discuss the realities of radiation exposure, genetic risk factors,  inflammation, and whether or not some women are being overtreated.  Dr. Gersh breaks down different tests and how she’s decided to manage her risk. Plus, she shares the key to turning off inflammation after menopause.  By the end of this episode, you’ll feel more empowered to decide what’s best for your breasts.  The views expressed in this episode represent those of one expert and do not necessarily apply to all listeners. Speak to your doctor about health concerns related to your specific medical history and needs. Full show notes: jjvirgin.com/mammo Learn more about Dr. Felice Gersh: ht
