Overview
The Integrative Breast Wellness Program is a collaborative initiative between Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute and Pacific Breast Care Center at UCI Health.
Our comprehensive, whole-person approach to breast health considers a number of important factors including diet, lifestyle, environmental exposures, stress, and hormones. If you have any breast symptoms such as breast pain or inflammation (chronic or cyclical), have dense and/or fibrocystic breasts, or if you are at increased risk of breast disease including cancer, this program is for you.
Services

- Environmental exposures
- Hormones including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and/or thyroid
- Nutrient status and micronutrient deficiencies
- Factors that influence genetic predisposition
- Immune system function including inflammation
- Stress and the stress response
