About this episode
Ready for the breast health conversation nobody's having? Harvard-trained breast radiologist Dr. Lilian Ebuoma gives a masterclass that covers everything from why your daughter might be developing breast buds at 7 (spoiler: it's not just you) to the real deal on mammograms, dense breasts, and that one lifestyle change that drops breast cancer risk by 25%. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, worried about lumps, confused about nipple discharge colours (yes, there's a rainbow), or just want to understand your breasts better—this episode gives you the knowledge and confidence to advocate for yourself.
Plus, Dr. Lilian shares the one question that transforms patient care and builds trust across cultural divides. If you own breasts or care about someone who does, press play.
