October often gets called Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But let’s be honest, most of us are already aware. What we rarely hear about in mainstream medicine is what actually prevents breast cancer, supports long-term breast health, and gives women real options for navigating menopause safely and confidently.

I prefer to think of this as Breast Health Month. Because while early detection is important, prevention is even better.

Why Prevention Is Power

Research shows that up to 75% of breast cancers are non-genetic. DNA damage, estrogen dominance, stress, and environmental toxins are major contributors. These are not things we need to wait to measure with a mammogram. We can identify and address them now.

This is where functional medicine shines. By looking deeper at how your body produces, metabolizes, and detoxifies hormones, we get answers that empower you to take action before symptoms or disease ever show up.

Last week I had the privilege of attending The M Factor film screening in San Diego, hosted by Hot Pause Health. It was such a meaningful opportunity to share thoughts and connect with other incredible thought leaders in the menopause and women’s health space.

I left feeling proud and inspired about how my work in functional medicine is contributing to the collective. My mission has always been to empower and educate not just women in menopause, but women at every stage of life, along with their families. Health is not something that should wait until midlife. For example, building a strong foundation in my teenage clients gives them a lifelong head start on real health. This early investment pays off through the challenges of adulthood and into the often-neglected menopause years, helping us rise above both societal and medical shortcomings that too often leave women without answers.

What stood out most from this event was the balance of insight and open discussion. I deeply appre...

You guys… I don’t want to alarm you, but the end of summer is literally around the corner. 

And if you’ve spent the last few months doing the “hope and pray” method with your health (you know, trying the latest supplement you saw trending on Insta, Googling your symptoms at 1 am, or saying "I’ll deal with it in the fall"), I see you. But babe, we can do better.

Your body doesn’t lie. That bloating? The fatigue? The breakouts or mood swings or stubborn “menobelly” that won’t budge? These aren’t just random symptoms - they’re your body waving a big red flag saying, “Hey! Pay attention!”

Want a private 1:1 session?  I’m inviting YOU to take that next step and stop guessing. This is your last call for the Summer to reclaim your energy, clarity, and confidence before the craziness of fall kicks in.

Here’s what we do differently with Reset With Andrea:

We test. We don’t guess.

I run targeted functional lab tests that actually give you insight. No more throwing supplements at the wall. ...
