Episode 446: Thermography as an Assessment of Wellness

Author: Ali Miller RD May 27, 2025 Duration: 45:33
While mammograms are often pushed at age 40 as the gold standard for breast health screening, many women are questioning the risk-reward ratio and seeking safer, more holistic alternatives. Could thermography be a more proactive, less harmful approach to identifying early dysfunction in the body? This episode explores the topic of thermography as a non-invasive, radiation-free tool for wellness assessment.  In this episode, we are  joined by special guest Amanda Allen, owner of Austin Thermography, to break down the science, safety, and practical application of thermal imaging. We discuss how thermography differs from conventional screenings, what types of patterns it can detect—ranging from inflammation to hormonal imbalances—and how it may serve as an early warning system long before a disease manifests structurally. Whether you’re looking to support breast health, monitor chronic conditions, or simply stay in tune with your body’s signals, this episode will help you consider if thermography has a place in your wellness toolbox. More about Amanda Allen of Austin Thermography:  Amanda is trained and certified by the Professional Academy of Clinical Thermology as a Thermographic Technician.
