Description

Jennifer and Britney sit down with sonographer and clinic owner Jasmine Khorsandi to demystify breast screening. Jasmine explains why dense breast tissue can hide cancers on mammograms, how SonoCine automated whole-breast ultrasound (AWBUS) captures 3,000+ images (including lymph nodes), and what that means for people with breast implants. They cover baseline screening ages, family history/BRCA, rupture detection, and why creating a soothing, human experience matters. Jasmine also shares her integrated approach—Reiki, 528 Hz sound baths, stress reduction—and a prevention toolkit from hormones to sunscreen choices. The convo ends with a soul-nourishing riff on self-love, friendships that fuel health, and being the CEO of your own health.
