Understanding Breast Health & Risk Reduction

How can healthcare providers support patients in promoting breast health, encouraging resilience, and creating an internal environment that supports overall wellness? This session explores principles of functional medicine and how they may contribute to a physiological state that is less supportive of abnormal cell growth.

Led by Dr. Elizabeth Boham, MS, RD, a physician and nutritionist specializing in Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center, this class will examine the relationships between insulin resistance, environmental exposures, inflammation, the microbiome, and breast health. Having personally navigated breast cancer at a young age, Dr. Boham brings a deeply personal and clinical perspective to the importance of a comprehensive, systems-based approach to long-term well-being.

Dr. Boham is an IFM Certified Practitioner, Board-Certified Family Medicine physician, and faculty member for the Institute for Functional Medicine, offering valuable clinical perspectives and strategies in this session.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to support a biological terrain that may be less favorable to abnormal cell development
• The role of functional medicine testing in evaluating individual health patterns
• The impact of inflammation on cellular health and ways to assess and support balanced immune responses
