In this eye-opening episode of Women's Wellness Authority, I’m joined by Gaye Walden, a certified holistic health coach and founder of Holistic Breast Health in Charlotte, NC. We explore what every woman deserves to know about breast health—beyond the mammogram.

Gaye breaks down the difference between mammograms, ultrasounds, MRIs, and the often-overlooked thermography—a radiation-free, FDA-registered screening that offers a proactive, inflammation-focused view of breast health. You’ll learn how dense breast tissue affects screening accuracy, how the lymphatic system plays a critical role in detoxification, and why lifestyle choices like bra type, movement, and product ingredients matter more than you think.

This episode is packed with insights for women who want to take charge of their health—not just react to it. If you've ever felt confused or disempowered about your screening options, this conversation will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to advocate for your body.

Bonus: Gaye shares actionable tips you can implement today to reduce inflammation and support long-term breast wellness—naturally.
