Prevention starts with the choices we make every day.

Limit alcohol, do not smoke, stay active, maintain a healthy weight, and fill your plate with colorful whole foods.

Breastfeeding, when possible, is also linked to lower breast cancer risk. If you are considering hormone therapy after menopause or have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, talk with your provider about your individual risk and whether genetic counseling may be appropriate.

It is also smart to be mindful of unnecessary radiation exposure. X-rays, CT scans, and PET scans use ionizing radiation, so ask whether each scan is needed and if a non-radiation option like ultrasound or MRI may be appropriate. Recommended screenings still matter. The goal is simply to avoid unnecessary exposure.

Natural lifestyle choices like aluminum-free deodorant, breathable fabrics, or keeping your phone out of your bra may be personal preferences, but they are not proven ways to prevent breast cancer.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Breast health starts with awareness, education, and knowing your body!

Regularly check your breasts for unusual changes, become familiar with what is normal for you, and take an active role in your health.

Dr. Kaplan discusses breast self-awareness, thermography, and the importance of exploring your options when it comes to breast health.

Remember, early detection matters!

Any unusual breast changes should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.

Stay informed, know your body, and be proactive about your health!

You are your own best health advocate.

One of the simplest things you can do this Breast Cancer Awareness Month is get familiar with what is normal for your body so you can recognize when something changes.

Pay attention to how your breasts normally look and feel. In the shower, use the pads of your fingers to feel the breast and underarm area, and look in the mirror for changes in shape, skin, or ni***es.

Many breasts naturally feel lumpy, and most breast lumps are not cancer. What matters is noticing something new or different and bringing it to your provider’s attention.

Know your family history, stay up to date with recommended screening, and remember that breast self-awareness goes alongside screening, not in place of it.

If you notice a new lump or another breast change, reach out to your provider.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and one question we hear often is about thermography versus mammography.

Thermography is a non-invasive, radiation-free imaging option that uses an infrared camera to look at patterns of heat and blood flow near the surface of the breast. There is no compression and nothing touches the breast. For women looking for a more holistic way to monitor breast health, thermography can be a useful additional tool to discuss with their provider.

Mammography uses low-dose X-rays and remains the standard primary screening method for early breast cancer detection. The FDA currently clears thermography as an adjunct, meaning it is used alongside other appropriate screening rather than in place of mammography.

Current U.S. guidelines recommend mammography every two years from ages 40 to 74 for women at average risk. Your age, family history, breast density, symptoms, and personal risk may change what screening plan makes sense for you.

The most important thing is to be proactive. Ask questions, know your options, and work with your provider to build a screening plan you feel informed and comfortable with.

What we eat and how we move are two powerful everyday tools for mood.

Start with real, whole foods, plenty of variety, and good hydration. In one 12-week trial of adults with depression, 32% of those receiving dietary support reached remission compared with 8% of the control group.

If anxiety is part of the picture, watch caffeine and energy drinks, which can worsen jitters, a racing heart, and poor sleep.

Movement matters too. A review of more than 1,000 trials found physical activity improved symptoms of depression, anxiety, and distress. Lift weights, get outside, move with a friend, and start wherever you are.

Small, consistent habits add up.

If you are struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 anytime.

A day can seem small, but days become weeks, and weeks become months. What you do consistently matters.

Spend time outside, move your body, connect with people in person, and make room for real human touch. Research has linked both time in nature and strength training with better mental health and fewer depressive symptoms.

qEEG brain mapping can also provide additional information about patterns of brain activity as part of a broader evaluation.

Small choices add up.

If you are struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 anytime.

For depression, think progression.

Depression is associated with changes in brain networks involved in motivation, focus, decision-making, and emotional regulation, including areas of the prefrontal cortex.

The brain can change through neuroplasticity, and creating forward movement gives it something to work toward. Set small goals. Learn something new. Move your body. Spend time outside. Connect with people. Focus on your faith, health, work, or community.

Progress does not have to be huge. One small goal accomplished today can create momentum for tomorrow.
Depression is a health condition, not a character flaw, and you do not have to carry it alone.

If you are in crisis or need immediate emotional support, call or text 988.

In honor of World Mental Health Day, remember that small daily actions can support your mental health.

For anxiety, sometimes the first step is changing your environment. Step away from the situation, take a walk, listen to music, shower, call someone, or do something that helps interrupt the anxious cycle.

For depression, think progression. Focus on improving one area of your life at a time, whether that’s your health, work, relationships, sleep, movement, or daily routine.

You don’t have to fix everything at once. Small steps still move you forward.

Anxiety is not just in your head. It can show up in the body as restlessness, irritability, muscle tension, trouble concentrating, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping.

Instead of telling yourself to “just calm down,” try helping your body shift states. Take a walk, splash cold water on your face, try 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, listen to music, call a friend, or practice 4-7-8 breathing.

Caffeine, energy drinks, poor hydration, and irregular meals can also make symptoms feel worse. Prioritize sleep, balanced meals, movement, and hydration.

If anxiety is constant or interfering with daily life, talk with a qualified provider.

World Mental Health Day is October 10th, a good time to look at how our daily habits may affect anxiety, depression, and overall mental health.

The WHO reported a 25% increase in global anxiety and depression during the first year of the pandemic. Screen time may be part of the picture. Evening light can interfere with melatonin and sleep, and poor sleep can make stress and emotions harder to manage.

The U.S. Surgeon General reports that teens spending more than three hours a day on social media face about twice the risk of depression and anxiety symptoms. Social media can feel unsocial too, with less in-person connection and more time spent scrolling.

Try a simple phone reset: put your phone away an hour before bed, turn off non-essential notifications, get outside, and make more time for real connection.
