Are you at high risk of breast cancer? Follow this early detection guide | Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi
Do you really know your breast cancer risk? Many women think they do – trusting family history, regular checkups, and mammograms to keep them safe. But what if these measures leave dangerous blind spots, leading to later, more aggressive diagnoses? Today's episode is a powerful wake-up call.
Joining us is globally renowned OBGYN, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi. Known simply as “Dr. A” to her global following, she's OBGYN to royals and celebrities, and a leading voice on women’s health featured on The Kardashians, The Doctors, and Dr. Phil. Dr. Aliabadi shares her own shocking story: how, despite following all the rules, she uncovered a hidden cancer risk that standard screening completely missed.
Today you'll learn why your lifetime risk may be higher than you’ve been told, how diet and lifestyle could change your trajectory, and the essential steps to take today to safeguard your health. This is information every woman needs - don’t wait until it’s too late.
