Breast Health offers a comprehensive, integrative exploration of breast anatomy, hormonal influences, screening considerations, and natural strategies for supporting breast wellness across different life stages. Rather than focusing on disease alone, this course examines how hormones, lifestyle, nutrition, and metabolic health influence breast tissue over time.
Students gain a clearer understanding of breast structure and function, including the role of mammary ducts, glands, and key hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. The course also addresses common concerns such as breast pain, swelling, cysts, and changes during perimenopause, alongside natural approaches to supporting lactation and resolving inflammatory conditions like mastitis. Preventive perspectives are emphasized, including modifiable lifestyle factors that influence long-term breast health.
Screening and diagnostic tools are discussed within a broader context, helping students understand current controversies, benefits, and limitations without promoting fear-based decision-making.
This class is ideal for individuals and wellness professionals seeking an informed, holistic approach to breast health and prevention.

Breast Health provides an integrative, educational overview of how breast tissue functions and how hormonal, lifestyle, and environmental factors influence breast wellness throughout life. The course emphasizes understanding normal anatomy and physiology as the foundation for informed decision-making, prevention, and early support.
Students explore the structure of the breast, including mammary ducts, glands, and connective tissue, and how hormones such as estrogen and progesterone affect breast development, cyclic changes, and sensitivity. The course examines common breast concerns—such as pain, swelling, cysts, and benign lumps—particularly during hormonal transitions like perimenopause, helping students understand why these changes occur and how they may be supported naturally.
Screening and diagnostic approaches, including mammography, are discussed with attention to both benefits and limitations. The course also explores factors that influence breast cancer risk, including family history, breast density, and modifiable lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, alcohol intake, and metabolic health. Nutritional and lifestyle strategies that support long-term breast wellness are examined, including dietary patterns and foods associated with protective effects.
Natural approaches to supporting lactation, addressing mastitis, and maintaining healthy breast tissue are included as part of a broader, prevention-oriented framework. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on education, context, and empowerment rather than prescriptive protocols.
