SIMPLE STEPS FOR A SELF BREAST EXAM 🩷

If you haven’t checked your breasts this month yet—please do.

As promised, here are some simple steps. It only takes a few minutes, and it could save your life.

Step 1: Get in position
Stand or sit in front of a mirror with your arms by your sides.

Step 2: Look
Check for any changes in size, shape, or skin—such as redness, dimpling, or rash.

Step 3: Change position
Place your hands on your hips and press gently. Look again for changes.
Then raise your arms and check once more.

Step 4: Feel (lying down or in the shower)
Use the pads of your fingers (not the tips) and apply gentle but firm pressure.

Step 5: Follow a pattern
Start from the outer edge and move toward the centre, covering the entire breast.
Use small circular or up-and-down motions.

Step 6: Check surrounding areas
Don’t forget your underarms and the area up to your collarbone.

Notice anything unusual?
Stay calm—majority of changes are not cancer. But it’s important to get anything unusual checked by a doctor as soon as possible.

Please share this with someone you love. It might make all the difference.

When are you checking your breasts this month?
I’m here to remind you—please take a moment to check them.
Why? Because it could save your life!
Choose a consistent time each month:
-If you have periods, the best time is a few days after it ends.
-If not, pick a date you’ll remember—like the first of the month (today!).
Set a reminder in your calendar!!

Treat it like any important medical appointment—you wouldn’t miss that, would you?
This matters.
If you do just one thing after reading this… set a reminder.
I’ll be sharing simple steps on how to check your breasts—keep an eye out.
And please forward this to someone you love and care about so that she is reminded too. It might make all the difference 💕

Are you still drinking from plastic regularly, storing your food in plastic, and using synthetic fragranced skin care products? 📢 Plastics and synthetic chemicals aren’t just an environmental issue; they can influence your breast health too. 🌸
Many plastics contain endocrine disruptors like BPA and Phthalates. These "hormone mimics" can trick your body by blocking or mimicking natural oestrogen, which can impact everything from fertility to long-term breast health.
The good news? Your body is incredibly resilient, and lowering your "chemical load" is easier than you think!
3 EASY SWAPS you can make TODAY:
1️⃣ Ditch the Microwave Plastic: "Microwave safe" usually just means the plastic won't melt—it doesn't mean it isn't leaching chemicals into your dinner. Switch to glass or ceramic when heating up your lunch! 🥣
2️⃣ The "Fragrance" Fix: Phthalates often hide behind the word "parfum" or "fragrance" on labels. Look for "Phthalate-free" or scents made from pure essential oils for your soaps and lotions. 🌿
3️⃣ Glass instead of Plastic: Swap the plastic water bottle for a reusable stainless steel. It stays colder, and your hormones will thank you. 🥛
Small changes = Big impact. 🌿 Which swap are you starting with this week? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Constipation isn't just uncomfortable, it can also influence hormone balance.

When bowel movements are slow, used oestrogen may be reabsorbed back into circulation instead of being eliminated.

Supporting healthy bowel elimination can be one of the simplest ways to support hormonal health and breast wellbeing.

Small daily habits can make a big difference.

Save this post if you found it helpful.

Get in touch if you're struggling with constipation or slow transit time and would like some help.

Learning never stops for a Nutritional Therapist!!
Revisions and learning are part of my CPD and is an integral part of my job to stay abreast of the latest findings.
Great revision of the importance of methylation in male and female fertility last night by !
The body's biochemistry is amazing and complex. But don't worry, it is my job to understand and know these processes so I can assist you in your fertility journey!
