When it comes to breast health, viral advice is not always reliable advice.

In the latest episode of Take Her Word for It, Dr. Sadia Khan, Medical Director of the Breast Program at Hoag Women’s Health Institute and Hoag Family Cancer Institute, joins host Anusha Wijeyakumar to examine the science behind common claims about soy, alcohol, lifestyle choices and breast cancer risk.

The conversation cuts through fear, fads and conflicting information to provide trustworthy guidance you can use to make healthier choices with greater confidence.

Feeling at home in your body again. Talking about changes you weren’t expecting. Meeting someone who just gets it.

These moments matter when you’re navigating life after breast cancer, and they were at the heart of Hoag’s recent event, “Beyond Thriving: Reclaiming You After Breast Cancer.”

Hoag patients and survivors gathered at VEA Newport Beach for gentle yoga, brunch and honest conversations with Dr. Sadia Khan, Dr. Stephanie Da Silva Davis and Anusha Wijeyakumar. Bringing expertise in breast surgical oncology, sexual and hormonal health, and wellness, they shared insights and made space for questions that can feel hard to bring up.

We’re honored to help our patients and survivors feel more like themselves, with expert care and a community beside them.

Dr. Devyn Gibby returned to Dana Hills High School, this time as “Principal for a Day.” For the Hoag family medicine physician, it was a change to reconnect with a school and community that helped share his path to medicine.

At 17, while attending Dana Hill High School, Dr. Gibby developed a severe case of Guillain-Barré syndrome that left him completely paralyzed. After weeks in intensive care, he began a long recovery, relearning how to walk and building the strength to return to school and sports.

Through it all, his family, friends and Dana Point community showed up for him. He made a full recovery, returned for his senior year and found inspiration for his future: becoming a doctor.

Today, he cares for patients in the same South Orange County community that supported him. Having been on the other side of care, he knows how much it means to feel heard, understood and supported.

This visit brought him back to where so much of that story began, with familiar faces to reconnect with and a new generation of students to meet.

Mammograms, ultrasounds and breast CT scans each have a role in breast health, but understanding when and why they are used can feel overwhelming.

In the latest episode of Take Her Word for It, host Anusha Wijeyakumar speaks with Dr. January Lopez, Medical Director of Breast Imaging at the Hoag Breast Center. Together, they separate fear from fact, address common concerns about mammogram radiation and explain how breast cancer screening continues to evolve.

The goal is not more anxiety. It is a clearer understanding of your options and a more informed conversation with your care team.

Menopause is not a single moment. It is a transition that can begin years earlier, bringing physical, hormonal and emotional changes that look different for every woman.

“Most women arrive at menopause under-informed, under-supported and surprised by the breadth of their symptoms,” says Dr. Monica Aszterbaum, OB-GYN at Hoag.

Through our dedicated Menopause Program, Hoag is helping change that experience by bringing together specialists in gynecology, endocrinology, mental health, breast health, urology, weight management and other areas to provide personalized, evidence-based support at every stage.

Treatment may include hormone therapy, nonhormonal options and lifestyle guidance based on each woman’s symptoms, health history and individual needs.
