Episode #083 - Nyjon Eccles
Summary
Host Michael Marshall interviews Dr. Nigen Eccles, who advocates for breast thermography as an early detection tool that identifies physiological heat changes before structural abnormalities appear. Eccles argues this method is particularly useful for younger women with dense breast tissue and should complement, not replace, conventional mammography. The discussion covers the controversy surrounding thermography’s efficacy, its association with alternative medicine, and Eccles’s emphasis on using it within a medically supervised, integrated care framework.
