In this episode, I sit down with the Founder of Sonobreasts, Ultrasound Sonographer Jasmine Khorsandi, as well as Breast Implant Illness Advocate, Amanda Porta. With approximately 3500 women dying per month in the U.S. alone (according to updated 2024 statistics), there are understandably rising concerns regarding standard detection protocols. Unfortunately, nearly 50% of breast cancer is missed among women with dense breast tissue, therefore highlighting the truth: Routine mammogram screenings as the BEST form of detection are not the most effective approach for all women across the board.

During this discussion, we cover the following:

• What is sonography and how does it differ from mammography?
• What is dense breast tissue? Why is it so important for a woman to know her type?
• Why is mammography a poor detection tool for those with dense tissue?
• Why is breast cancer skyrocketing in the United States alone?
• How early can sonography detect a concern in the breast and surrounding area?
• Are there risks with repeated mammography scanning in terms of radiation?
• Why aren't the industry standard's changing to help women's health?
• Is there risk involved concerning mammograms and women with breast implants?
• At what age should women consider breast cancer screenings?
• How does one go about insurance coverage when choosing sonography?
• What about genetics and genetic history?
• How important are self breast exams?
• When are MRIs suggested for cancer detection?
• Why are women so disconnected from their bodies?
• Fear that circulates surrounding breast cancer and how it's mentally and emotionally affecting the female population
• How emotions play a role in our health, healing, and when faced with a diagnosis
• And more...
