Debunking Breastfeeding Misconceptions with Dr. Rachel Yang | Golden Hour Podcast, Episode 26

Breastfeeding is a natural and powerful connection between mom and baby—yet modern pressures, from “pump culture” to social media, have set unrealistic expectations around milk supply. Add to that outdated advice on common challenges like nipple pain and the over-diagnosis of tongue-tie, and it’s no wonder so many moms feel overwhelmed.

Enter Dr. Rachel Yang, a board-certified breast surgeon and lactation specialist, who joins me on Golden Hour to debunk breastfeeding myths and offer expert guidance. Together, we’ll break down the most common struggles and, more importantly, empower moms to navigate one of the most rewarding (and demanding) parts of motherhood.

Dr. Rachel Yang attended Wellesley College and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. She completed an internship and residency in general surgery at Stanford University. She completed a breast surgical oncology fellowship at the University of California San Francisco. She is a certified lactation counselor and international board certified lactation consultant. She currently works at Marin Health as a breast surgical oncologist and breastfeeding medicine physician. She lives in Berkeley with her husband and two children.
