@drtazmd: STRESS AFFECTS BREAST HEALTH? Can traditional healing systems and modern physiology offer different perspectives on stress and breast health? Dr. Taz explains that traditional Chinese medicine associates the liver meridian with the breast and uses concepts such as emotional imbalance to interpret patterns within the body. Modern physiology describes this differently. Cortisol is a stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands, and chronic stress can affect sleep, mood, inflammation, and other aspects of health. These frameworks should not be treated as medically equivalent. Traditional meridians are not established anatomical structures, and current research has not shown that stress or unresolved emotions directly cause breast cancer. The larger question is whether evidence-based breast screening can be accompanied by better support for stress, emotional health, and the whole person. How do you think traditional and modern approaches can responsibly work together? 🎙 Clip from Podcast: hol+ by Dr. Taz MD 🎧 Listen now on ALL podcast platforms 📺 Link 👇 holplus.co/podcast #DrTaz #JasmineKhorsandi #BreastHealth #WomensHealth #TraditionalChineseMedicine #IntegrativeHealth #ChronicStress #Cortisol #WholePersonHealth #PodcastClips
