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.  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.  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. Follow Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi - @drthaisaliabadi IF YOU’RE TEXTING YOUR FRIENDS LIKE... You: Wait... a Pap smear doesn't actually check my uterus or ovaries??? Also You: How do I know if I'm actually high-risk for breast cancer? 3AM You: Okay but what if my mammogram is normal and there's STILL something there???  IF YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH HISTORY LOOKS LIKE THIS… What does a Pap smear actually check for? Should I get a pelvic ultrasound? What is the Tyrer-Cuzick score? How do I calculate my lifetime breast cancer risk? What does dense breast tissue mean? Do I need a breast MRI? Can a mammogram miss breast cancer? What age should I start breast cancer screening? Can endometriosis be missed? How do you know if you have PCOS? Should I get my AMH tested? How do I advocate for myself at the doctor? YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! Let’s continue the conversation!
