Ep.01 - Breast Cancer: 4 Questions Every Woman Needs Answers To | Dr. Garvit Chitkara

Author: Luke Coutinho August 10, 2026 Duration: 22:37

Breast cancer raises questions every woman deserves clear answers to. But what if some of the most important questions aren’t the ones we usually ask?


In this episode of The Luke Coutinho Show, Luke Coutinho sits down with Dr. Garvit Chitkara, Breast Surgical Oncologist and Foundational Medicine Advisory Board Expert, for a deeply informative conversation around 4 essential questions every woman needs answers to about breast cancer.


What has changed in our understanding of breast cancer over the last 20 years? How do genetics, inflammation, metabolic health, chronic stress, environmental factors and lifestyle fit into the bigger picture? And once someone is diagnosed, what can they do alongside medical treatment to support their health through nutrition, movement and sustainable lifestyle changes?


The conversation goes beyond biology to address something equally important: the beliefs we carry about cancer. Is cancer a punishment? Bad karma? Something a person should feel responsible or guilty for? Luke and Dr. Chitkara unpack why fear, shame and blame have no place in the cancer journey.


They also tackle a question women frequently wonder about: Can wearing a bra increase breast cancer risk?


And perhaps most importantly, Dr. Chitkara gives a practical, step-by-step guide to self-breast examination, when to check, what changes to look for, what may be normal, and when a change warrants a consultation with a doctor.


This episode brings together breast cancer awareness, breast health, early detection, self-examination, lifestyle and medical care to help women move from fear to informed action.


Because the right questions can lead to better conversations, earlier awareness and more informed decisions.


Listen to the full episode and share it with the women you care about.
