Breast Imaging Beyond the Surface

Dr Ebuoma episode 194 podcast

“Breast imaging and radiology seems like a small part of the body, but yet it could really go a mile deep.” Dr. Lilian O. Ebuoma shared that poetic line on this podcast episode, and it beautifully sums up her life’s work and the reason she beautifully aligns with the 7 Essentials System®.

She’s a Harvard-trained breast radiologist, certified physician executive, social entrepreneur, U.S. Navy Veteran, transformational speaker, and certified professional coach who goes a mile deep. Instead of just looking at the images alone to assist women in healing breast cancer, Dr. Ebuoma helps them discover health and wellness practices, provides easy access to screening tools, and even started a nonprofit in Nigeria that focuses on improving breast cancer morbidity. 

In short, Dr. Ebuoma is your breast’s best friend.
