1362. What Mammograms Can MISS + The New AI That Could Predict Breast Cancer Risk w/ Surgeon Dr. Kristi Funk

Hey Heal Squad!! In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re talking all things BOOBS today with renowned breast cancer surgeon Dr. Kristi Funk! Yup she is back and we are going way beyond “get your mammogram.” We’re talking about why breast cancer rates are rising, especially in younger women, what women with dense breasts need to know about what mammograms can miss, and the lifestyle factors Kristi says can actually impact our risk.Then we get into the future of breast screening and it will blow your mind! . Kristi breaks down new ultrasound technology, how AI helped find more cancers in a major mammography study, and how emerging AI may even be able to look at your mammogram and help predict your breast-cancer risk years into the future. Plus, Kristi shares why she recently teamed up with Venus Williams to get the word out about something surprisingly simple that many women still aren’t hearing enough about: the role our food and lifestyle can play in breast cancer risk. This episode isn’t about being scared of our boobs, it’s about finally understanding them, knowing our personal risk, asking better questions, and learning what we can actually start doing TODAY. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Know your risk, not just your screening schedule: Kristi believes individualized breast-cancer risk assessment should start much earlier than most women realize. A mammogram is detection, not preventionLScreening matters, but Kristi wants women to pay attention to the bigger modifiable factors that can impact long-term health and risk. Dense breasts may need a bigger conversationL Know your breast density and ask your doctor whether your personal risk warrants additional screening beyond a mammogram JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR OUR NEXT HEAL SQUAD EVENT! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host Medjet: medjet.com AG1: www.drinkAG1.com/HEALSQUAD GUEST RESOURCES: Follow Dr. Kristi Funk on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkristifunk/?hl=en Website: https://pinklotus.com/ Make an appointment: https://pinklotus.com/care or call 833-800-7522 Venus Williams X Dr. Kristi Funk: https://www.instagram.com/p/DcyS1mOAWls/?hl=en Kristi’s Book: BREASTS: The Owner’s Manual Join the Trusted Voices Initiative: pinklotus.com/voice Explore the free Pink Lotus Power Up community: https://pinklotus.com/powerup Including Breast Buddies: https://pinklotus.com/powerup/breastbuddies/ Check out the Cancer-Kicking!
