    In this episode of AGE BETTER, Barbara is joined by frequent guest Dr. Margaret Nachtigall, reproductive endocrinologist at NYU and Medical Director of Pink Medical.

They also dive into how hormonal changes affect breast density, the role of genetic testing, and what women of all ages can do to stay proactive about breast health.
