Episode 5: Breast Health: What Women Need to Know Earlier with Dr. Jawad Mustafa
What if the most important conversation about breast health started years before a diagnosis?
In this episode of Inherited, host Jessica Sanchez sits down with Dr. Jawad Mustafa, an OBGYN Ultrasound Consultant, Breast Health Coach, and Founder of Global Care Consult LLC, for an eye-opening discussion about breast health, early detection, prevention, and empowering women with the knowledge they need to advocate for themselves.
As breast cancer rates continue to rise worldwide—particularly among younger women—Dr. Mustafa shares why awareness, education, and proactive screening are more important than ever. Together, they discuss common misconceptions, lifestyle factors, risk reduction, and how women of every age, race, and ethnicity can take steps toward protecting their health.
This conversation is especially meaningful for Black, Latina, Asian, and other underserved communities, where disparities in access to care and delayed diagnoses continue to impact outcomes.
