Don’t Miss An Episode!

Breast health deserves more attention than a yearly mammogram. In this episode, Claudia is joined by Dianne Wist, Breast Health Educator and CEO of Violet Daily, for a conversation about what women over 40 need to know about their breasts, hormones, and overall breast health.

We covered:

Why breast health after 40 is about more than mammograms and routine screening
How hormones, iodine, diet, lifestyle and environmental factors may influence breast health and breast cancer risk
What women should know about breast self-exams, breast pain and breast changes
Why knowing your personal breast cancer risk factors can help you make more informed decisions about screening
Why knowing what’s normal for your breasts matters—and why persistent pain, lumps or other changes shouldn’t be ignored

Claudia Petrilli is the host of Perimenopause Simplified podcast and an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach helping high-achieving women 40+ navigate perimenopause with clarity and confidence. After being dismissed by doctors in her 20s over debilitating periods and unexplained health issues, she took her health into her own hands and never looked back. When perimenopause brought a new wave of symptoms in her late 30s, she used that same evidence-based approach to feel like herself again.

She’s the creator of The Perimenopause Method, her signature coaching program, where she helps women rebuild the foundations — nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress — that actually support their hormones through this transition, while also teaching them to self-advocate and make informed choices about their care. Because you don’t have to just get through midlife, you can thrive in it.
