The Beautiful Grit

Jasmine Khorsandi, the founder of Sonobreast, is this week’s guest on the Beautiful Grit Podcast. Jasmine is here to discuss a revolutionary approach to breast cancer detection and the limitations of traditional mammograms. Sonobreast focuses on automated breast ultrasound (ABUS), a technology Khorsandi champions as a safer, more effective alternative, especially for women with dense breast tissue. In the episode you’ll learn about the limitations of mammograms while widely used, are often less effective for women with dense breast tissue, which can obscure potential abnormalities. Dense tissue appears white on mammograms, as do tumors, making detection more challenging. You’ll also learn about radiation Concerns and the potential harm of repeated radiation exposure from mammograms, particularly for younger women or those with a family history of breast cancer, advocating for less invasive methods. Jasmine shares about the Role of Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS), emphasizing the benefits of ABUS, which uses sound waves to create detailed images of breast tissue without radiation. ABUS is particularly effective for dense breast tissue and offers clearer results, often catching issues missed by mammograms. And why it is so important to empowering women with choices encouraging you to be proactive in your healthcare, ask questions, and seek alternatives like ABUS if they are concerned about mammogram accuracy or radiation risks.If you would like to learn more about Jasmine Khorsandi’s work with Sonobreast and her advocacy for ABUS is reshaping how breast cancer screening is approached, particularly for women with dense breast tissue, you can visit her website www.sonobreasts.com and Instagram at www.instagram.com/sonobreasts If you would like to learn more about Gwen’s metaphysical approach to perimenopause and supporting women through the different stages of womanhood and using each opportunity in to heal, grow as a human and soul, download Gwen’s Guided Somatic Medicine Meditation: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5tdx2pimqok0pkq113xzc/Guided-Somatic-Medicine-Process.m4a?rlkey=g9266ynfiarr9v1x8bfvn9aco&st=u9u2646s&dl=0

In today’s podcast episode, Meredith Oke shares about cutting edge research and science of light, biology and physics with tools on how to implement these findings in practical and doable ways in everyday life. Through the powerful message of her personal journey of feeling extreme, debilitating fatigue and uncertainty as to what was causing it, Meredith gives to hope to so many individuals and practitioners that do not know what is causing collective stress, irritability and exhaustion. During Meredith’s confusing journey, she initially wrote this off the fatigue as the result of being a new mother or uprooting her life and moving to a new country with small children. But despite the plethora of doctors, tests for imbalances, and attempts to resolve her exhaustion and irritability, Meredith slowly put the pieces together and realized the root cause of her demise. It was directly connected to the amount of screen time and disconnection from the quantum frequency of the earth and by reconnecting to nature, attuning to the primal rhythms and patterns of light, she reclaimed her true nature and optimal health. It soon became her mission to share this information with others. Meredith Oke is a coach, founder of the Quantum Biology Collective and host of the QBC Podcast, a social enterprise that provides health and wellness practitioners with access to education grounded in cutting edge research on the intersection between physics and biology.
