The structure of the breast is relatively simple, with two primary functions: breastfeeding and pleasure. Dr. Tasha sheds light on why men have nipples and debunks many common myths surrounding breasts. Together, we explore why breastfeeding rates are decreasing while breast surgeries are on the rise. Dr. Tasha also explains how breasts change throughout the menstrual cycle, as well as from puberty to menopause.

We dive into the topic of bras—are you one of those people who can’t wait to take your bra off the moment you get home? Dr. Tasha discusses whether you’re wearing the right bra, particularly for proper support during exercise.

We also address key issues such as breast pain, breast cancer, and other common breast health concerns. Dr. Tasha provides practical advice on how often and how to perform a proper breast examination.

As with many areas of health, lifestyle choices are crucial for maintaining breast health. This might make you think twice about that next glass of wine!
