Annual medical and monthly self-breast exams will ensure that any or all changes will be detected and worked up according to risk and concern,which is a key factor in being proactive in your healthcare. 

Nutrition and Hormone Imbalance Effects

To support your liver's job of detoxification, regulation, and metabolism of hormones through the nutrients of your daily diet is essential to balancing hormone effects on the body's organs. Particularly our reproductive organs including the breasts. The genetic differences in our human biology and environmental exposures also determines what level/dose of nutrient rich foods our bodies may need to support our liver and endocrine systems. To eat right for your genetic type is also a key factor in being proactive in your healthcare.
