Women who have been told repeatedly to "get your mammogram" may have been misled.For decades, women have been advised to "get your mammogram" as an early detection approach.

According to Dr. Nyjon Eccles, women have been misled. 

Based on research, Dr. Eccles states that mammography screening doesn't lead to survival advantage. He cites research results that show for every 2,000 women who are screened over 10 years, one life will be saved, 10 women will receive unnecessary treatment, and 200 women will receive false positive results.

A better alternative, says Dr. Eccles, is the use of thermography, which uses infrared cameras to detect heat radiating from breast tissue. Cancers generate heat because they are highly metabolic and cause increased blood circulation. The screening tool does not involve compression of the breasts, nor does it use radiation. It is able to pick up on potential cancer before it can be seen, structurally, by a mammogram. 

Another benefit is that thermography screening isn't impeded by dense breast tissue, and therefore can be used in younger women who may have a family history or genetic risk. 

While mammography may produce false positives, Dr. Eccles has seen thermography result in 90-95% accuracy. 

He does caution, however, that thermography shouldn't be used as a diagnostic tool; rather, its focus should be screening and early detection. Just because heat is detected, doesn't mean it's cancer -- it could be an inflammatory response. That said, any chronic or persistent inflammatory issues should also be followed up with additional diagnostic investigation.

Listen as Dr. Eccles joins Dr. Taz to discuss more about why thermography is a better option to mammography, as well as his development of  ThermoCheck®, a computer-assisted Breast Thermography system.

Learn how to treat neurological, behavioral and developmental disorders like PTSD, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD and dyslexia without pharmaceuticals.Neurological, behavioral and developmental disorders like PTSD, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, TBI, and Parkinson’s are most often treated with pharmaceuticals.

But, that isn’t always an appropriate or sustainable option, especially for children.

Carol Garner-Houston, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Brain Harmony, has created a non-pharmaceutical treatment option that can start to take effect in just five days. Neuroplastic tools such as bone conduction and sound frequency can be used to make changes in the brain.

Her bottom-up approach uses audio frequencies to pinpoint different parts of brain, stimulate them, and build connections to improve cognitive functions.

Advance your career and find balance with visualization techniques.In today’s world, women are more empowered to take ownership over their careers by becoming their own boss or getting access to the resources they need to be successful at a company.

However, there’s still a lot of work to be done.

For the women who climb the corporate ladder and take on more responsibilities in the workplace, they're trying to give 100% at home and at work, which leaves them feeling stretched and overwhelmed.

Joan Kuhl, founder of Why Millennials Matter, author, speaker and champion of women in leadership, shares tips and visualization techniques women can use to find balance and succeed in all areas of their life. She helps women identify gender bias in the office and arms them with tools to remove it. 

Listen as Kuhl joins Dr. Taz to discuss how women can build the career—and life—they deserve.

Lose weight and eliminate dangerous liver fat in just 28 days.If you notice a change in your body composition and are gaining weight where you don’t want it, you could be undergoing a metabolic change.

And, that change might be caused by your liver.

Even those who don’t formally have fatty liver disease may be heading towards it or have markers for it. If you have changes in your energy, weight, and appetite, you may be at risk for fatty liver disease.

Dr. Alan Christianson created the Metabolism Reset Diet, which is intended to reverse damage to the liver and eliminate the most dangerous fat in your body in just four weeks. Depending on the amount of weight you want to lose, the cycle can be repeated as many times as you’d like.

The result is weight loss, fewer food cravings, steady energy levels, and a metabolism that functions well.

Listen as Dr. Christianson joins Dr. Taz to discuss the relationship between your liver and your metabolism, as well as a diet that will help you lose weight and get healthy fast.

Learn how to reframe your anxiety and take control of your life.Today, there are so many opportunities for anxiety to enter a woman’s life.

Whether it’s anxiety around her social life, her job, our current political climate, or keeping up with the rising cost of commodities, there’s no shortage of ways for a person to be stressed. Layer on the fact that many women are essentially working two full-time jobs—one at the office and one at home—and you have a recipe for chronic anxiety.

Dr. Robert T. London is a well-known psychiatrist, educator, and writer who has come up with a form of short-term therapy that helps women deal with anxiety. His spin on cognitive behavior therapy, LPA, focuses on allowing a person to get a different perspective on the problem. He combines that with relaxation therapy to help women take back their lives.

Listen as Dr. Robert T. London joins Dr. Taz to discuss how women can overcome anxiety and PTSD.

Learn how these eight biomarkers can affect overall health and longevity.In the medical community, most resources go towards treating people who are already sick.

However, it’s also important to treat people who are well to ensure they’re making the right lifestyle choices, so they don’t become sick. Much of this school of thought centers around epigenetics. 

Epigenetics, at its simplest, is the study of biological mechanisms that switch genes on and off. What you eat, drink, think and do—or don’t do—can cause chemical modifications around the genes that will turn those genes on or off over time, determining your short- and long-term quality of survival.

There are eight predictive biomarkers in particular that are indicators for lifetime health. They are:

Listen as Dr. Russell M. Jaffe joins Dr. Taz to discuss these eight indicators and how to make lifestyle choices that will improve health and longevity.
