I am excited to have Dr. Yvonne Karney with me today for the second part of a two-part series where we focus on breast imaging options and the importance of informed consent. Last week, we discussed the limitations of current breast screening options. Today, in Part 2, we outline the future of breast imaging, beyond mammograms, to explore QT imaging and its impact on breast health. How to be proactive about your breast screening options: Ask your provider to explain all available imaging choices- not just mammograms Consider your personal comfort, risk tolerance, and medical history when making a choice Think about whether you would prefer to avoid unnecessary procedures (like biopsies) or prioritize immediate detection If your provider will not answer your questions, find one who will. Informed consent is your right. Yvonne Karney's Bio: Yvonne Karney is a medical doctor, traditionally-trained in gynecology, and a former United States Air Force physician who converted to integrative medicine when she realized she didn't have the right tools to help her patients achieve true health.  She is the founder of Vitality Renewal Functional Medicine in the Chicago suburbs, where her newest venture is revolutionizing breast imaging by offering an option with the image quality of MRI, WITHOUT radiation, IV contrast, or painful compression.  She's on a mission to give women options for breast imaging and educate them about the risks and benefits of the current breast cancer screening recommendations.  In this episode: The limitations of current screening  What makes QT imaging different?  How QT imaging works  The benefits of QT imaging  Who may not be eligible for QT imaging?  How QT imaging was cleared as an FDA breakthrough device in 2018 How access to QT imaging is expanding How QT imaging empowers women with choice, as an adjunct or alternative to mammogram screening Links and Resources: Guest Social Media Links: Vitality Renewal Breast Imaging Yvonne Karney on YouTube Yvonne Karney on Instagram  Vitality Renewal Functional Medicine  Relative Links for This Show: ⁠Use Code FIBER to get 10% off GLP-1 Fiber Your Longevity Blueprint: DIM – 60 capsules Your Longevity Blueprint: Methyl B Complex – 60 capsules Follow Your Longevity Blueprint  On Instagram| Facebook| Twitter| YouTube | LinkedIn Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online   Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray  On Facebook| Instagram| Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast production by Team Podcast

I am excited to have Dr. Yvonne Karney with me for a two-part series focused on breast imaging options and the importance of informed consent. In Part 1 today, we discuss the limitations of current breast screening options and how to protect yourself if you choose to get mammograms or MRIs. We also introduce you to QT Imaging, which is the future of breast imaging. Benefits of early detection: It allows for procedures like lumpectomy instead of extensive surgery Early-stage cancers often require less chemotherapy or radiation Detecting cancer early generally improves the chance of recovery and survival Smaller interventions preserve appearance and more tissue  Early treatment can be quicker, simpler, and less traumatic  Yvonne Karney's Bio: Yvonne Karney is a medical doctor, traditionally trained in gynecology, and a former United States Air Force physician, who converted to integrative medicine when she realized she didn't have the right tools to help her patients achieve true health.  She is the founder of Vitality Renewal Functional Medicine in the Chicago suburbs, where her newest venture is to revolutionize breast imaging by offering an option that has the image quality of MRI WITHOUT radiation, IV contrast, or painful compression.  She's on a mission to give women options for breast imaging and educate them about the risks and benefits of the current breast cancer screening recommendations.  In this episode: How mammograms are pushed without real informed choice The value of early detection   How false positives tend to fuel fear and lead to extra procedures Risks that come with breast compression and radiation How overdiagnosis leads to overtreatment The problems associated with MRIs  How true 3D imaging could change the future of breast screening Links and Resources: Guest Social Media Links: Vitality Renewal Breast Imaging Yvonne Karney on YouTube Yvonne Karney on Instagram Vitality Renewal Functional Medicine  Relative Links for This Show: Try Halo (Salt) Therapy for respiratory and skin health.

Today, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald joins me to talk about DNA Methylation.  Life expectancy in the United States is on the decline. We are living for a shorter time and according to the World Health Organization, even though we have a life expectancy of 79.3 years, the average age for developing a serious illness is 63.1 years old. That means that we spend the last 16.2 years of our life ill. Aging is driven by DNA methylation, a process that influences which genes are turned on and which are turned off. We use DNA methylation as an epigenetic clock to measure biological age. DNA methylation changes as we age, to our detriment, and it’s not just a surrogate marker of aging. DNA methylation appears to drive aging itself.  Foods that could lower your biological age: Liver [or liver capsules] Eggs Mushrooms [shitake or enoki] Leafy greens Pumpkin seeds Blueberries Turmeric Dr. Kara Fitzgerald Bio: Kara Fitzgerald, ND, IFMCP, is engaged in clinical research on DNA methylation using a diet and lifestyle intervention developed in her virtual and in-person Functional Medicine clinic.  She is the author of Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better, a ground-breaking work detailing an 8-week study that resulted in a 3-year reversal of biological aging, and the step-by-step program that will help you live better and longer.  In her quest for personalized health care for all, she leads clients through her Younger You Program and has as a Younger You companion cookbook, Better Broths, and Healing Tonics.  Dr. Fitzgerald is on faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine [IFM] and is an IFM Certified Practitioner.  She regularly lectures internationally and hosts the podcast New Frontiers in Functional Medicine. She received her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Oregon and is in private practice in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. In this episode: How cancer hijacks our epigenetics. [4:25] Dr. Fitzgerald defines methylation and explains how it differs from DNA methylation. [9:05]  Foods that are important to improve methylation. [15:45] Foods that seem to direct epigenetic traffic. [17:39] Lifestyle pieces that could favorably influence DNA methylation in addition to the diet. [19:33] Foods that could lower your biological age. [25:46] Studies show that people who drink coffee live longer. [27:44] How to exercise to help prevent aging. [30:32] Foods to avoid that could be pro-aging. [33:13] Supplements that are recommended for anti-aging. [40:10] A backdoor approach for those who do not tolerate supplements well.
