Raising the Standard for Women’s Care with Celebrity OB/GYN Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi

In this episode, Dr. Lucky Sekhon and Dr. Alicia Robbins are joined by renowned OB/GYN Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, better known as Dr. A, to talk about what comprehensive women's healthcare should actually look like. Dr. A shares why she refuses to dismiss her patients' symptoms, why a Pap smear is only one small piece of an annual exam, and why these exams should be viewed holistically.&nbsp;&nbsp;The conversation takes a deeper look into breast cancer prevention after Dr. A opens up about her own experience discovering that her lifetime breast cancer risk was dramatically higher than she expected and how a breast MRI helped uncover early breast cancer in Olivia Munn after her initial imaging was negative. They also discuss the importance of pelvic ultrasound, what a Pap smear actually screens for, why endometriosis and PCOS can go undiagnosed for years, and how women can become better advocates for themselves without falling into the misinformation trap.&nbsp;&nbsp;Dr. A fervently speaks on why celebrity health stories can actually be powerful public health tools, how social media can both educate and mislead, and why finding a doctor who truly listens may be one of the most important things you can do for your health.&nbsp;Follow Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi - @drthaisaliabadi&nbsp;IF YOU’RE TEXTING YOUR FRIENDS LIKE...&nbsp;You:&nbsp;Wait... a Pap smear doesn't actually check my uterus or ovaries???&nbsp;Also You:&nbsp;How do I know if I'm actually high-risk for breast cancer?&nbsp;3AM You:&nbsp;Okay but what if my mammogram is normal and there's STILL something there???&nbsp;&nbsp;IF YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH HISTORY LOOKS LIKE THIS…&nbsp;What does a Pap smear actually check for?&nbsp;Should I get a pelvic ultrasound?&nbsp;What is the Tyrer-Cuzick score?&nbsp;How do I calculate my lifetime breast cancer risk?&nbsp;What does dense breast tissue mean?&nbsp;Do I need a breast MRI?&nbsp;Can a mammogram miss breast cancer?&nbsp;What age should I start breast cancer screening?&nbsp;Can endometriosis be missed?&nbsp;How do you know if you have PCOS?&nbsp;Should I get my AMH tested?&nbsp;How do I advocate for myself at the doctor?&nbsp;YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!&nbsp;Let’s continue the conversation!
