Breast Health Resources
Combined with making lifestyle changes that improve her overall health, a woman can follow a proactive, preventive path to good breast health when she knows how to start and what to do.
There is a lot of useful information available now about how to improve overall health. As our culture continues the overemphasis on awareness of breast disease, there is surprisingly little emphasis on or information about how a woman can improve her breast health to prevent disease.
A woman cannot improve her breast health by doing a screening or taking a test. She must take charge of this aspect of her health and be educated about the proactive, preventive steps she can take to keep her breasts healthy. She can become proactive by knowing where to start and what to do.

SILENT SPRING INSTITUTE
Silent Spring Institute began in 1994, after members of the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition called for a scientifically sound investigation into elevated breast cancer rates on Cape Cod. They founded “a laboratory of their own” and named it Silent Spring Institute in tribute to Rachel Carson, whose landmark book, Silent Spring, launched the modern environmental movement. Carson died of breast cancer just two years after the book was published.
Silent Spring Institute partners with physicians, public health and community advocates and other scientists to identify and break the links between environmental chemicals and women’s health, especially breast cancer.

TESTIMONIALS
Every woman needs
to meet Gaye
Gaye is so passionate and knowledgeable on breast health and overall wellbeing. She takes the time to give you information for whole health which is critical for healthy breasts. I sought thermography after discovering I carry the BRCA 1 gene mutation which increases my risk of breast cancer. I chose to take a less invasive, non-surgical approach to my screening. I can say with confidence that after meeting with Gaye, I will continue to monitor my risk holistically. The whole process of doing the pictures and going over the results was really cool. I wouldn’t have gotten such genuine care and respect with a mammogram.
