In this episode, Dr. Shawn Tassone discusses various aspects of hormone health, particularly focusing on breast cancer screening methods including mammography, ultrasound, and thermography. He shares insights from his book, 'The Hormone Balance Bible', and emphasizes the importance of understanding different testing methods, their pros and cons, and emerging technologies in breast imaging. The conversation aims to empower women with knowledge about their health and the options available for cancer detection and prevention. Episode Highlights: The Hormone Balance Bible provides insights into hormone imbalances. Mammography, ultrasound, and thermography are key breast cancer screening methods. Each screening method has its own pros and cons. Thermography is a physiological test, while mammography and ultrasound are structural tests. Mammograms can miss fast-growing tumors due to their nature. Ultrasound can detect some tumors missed by mammograms. Thermography has a lower false positive rate compared to mammograms and ultrasounds. Emerging technologies like the QT scan may offer new options for breast imaging. Prevention is more important than detection in cancer care. Women should choose the screening method that resonates with them.
