Dr. Elisa Port

As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, surgeon and author Dr. Elisa Port joins Monica on Reclaiming this week to separate fact from fear. What do we get wrong about breast cancer—and how can better information help us feel more empowered, not more afraid? Drawing on her book, The Breast Advice, Dr. Port pairs medical expertise with patient stories to unpack individualized screening, dense breasts, genetic testing, and common misconceptions about mammograms and biopsies. Together, they explore the questions behind the headlines—from hormone replacement therapy and GLP-1 medications to AI’s potential in breast cancer detection. It’s a candid, practical conversation about understanding your risk, weighing your options, and reclaiming a sense of agency over your health. Learn more about your ad choices.
