Mammography may currently be the best way we have to detect breast cancer, but what about the risk factors we can look at prior to that dreaded finding on mammogram? Statistics show that 1 out of 6 mammograms done will result in a call back to the patient to suggest an ultrasound, biopsy or repeat mammogram. What if we paid better attention to the female aging process and related risk factors to prevent breast cancer? No, I am not an ObGyn or breast specialist, I am simply a functional medicine doc who looks at any disease or condition and asks myself, “what are the environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors at play here?”
