My Interview with Alexis Brink of Jin Shin Institute on Link Live
Leave a Comment
I was so thrilled to sit down with Alexis Brink of Jin Shin Institute to talk about one of my favorite topics: breast thermography.
If you haven’t heard of Jin Shin, it’s a Japanese healing art that uses hands to balance the energetic body, mind and spirit. Jin Shin Institute is in New York and offers events, education and healing sessions.
We started with a background on breast thermography, including the fact that it was actually covered by insurance until 1984 and recommended as an adjunct to breast cancer screening.
Breast thermography still is a common screening method in many countries, including Spain, Brazil, Japan, Germany, Canada and India.
While mammography is a word that’s far more well-known, it often leads to overdiagnosis and overtreatment. As a result, many women are getting biopsies who don’t need them—according to the NIH, 80% of biopsies are false positives, meaning they look like cancer but aren’t.
Watch this interview on breast thermography to learn more, including:
- What thermography is and how it works.
- Why and how mammography can lead to false positives.
- Where the estrogens that create inflammation are coming from.
- The role that inflammation plays in breast cancer detection.
- Whether or not thermography can be used for the whole body.
- What your bra might be doing to your body plus some options for big-breasted women!
- How a broccoli seed with “innate wisdom” helped a client with vascular issues.
A warm thank you to Alexis for having me on the show!
