Should You Do a Breast Self-Exam?
“Breast self-exams are no longer recommended.” When I saw that headline earlier this year, I thought it was a typo. As someone who found my own breast cancer lump that turned out to be stage 3 cancer, I was surprised to learn that many health organizations like the American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute don’t recommend breast self-exams.

As everyone from perimenopausal women to gym bros are encouraged by health providers and their TikTok algorithm to up their protein intake, supplements such as powders, bars, and shakes are everywhere — shek
