Dr. Jasmine McDonald joined Caroline & Debra 'at the kitchen table' with dire warnings about beauty product & plastics exposures for women & parents to take note of.
Dr. Jasmine A. McDonald is an Associate Professor of Epidemiology at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, where she also serves as Associate Co-Director of the Cancer Research office at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center. Trained in epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University, she also PhD is in Biological Sciences in Public Health with a concentration in Immunology and Infectious Diseases.
Her research examines how environmental and biological factors — including endocrine-disrupting chemicals in personal care products — shape breast cancer risk, with a particular focus on Black women, young women, and those with genetic predispositions.
Her recent appearance on “The Plastic Detox,” a new Netflix documentary exploring how chemical exposure from everyday plastics may be affecting fertility and health, caught our eye, too.
Dr. McDonald joined Caroline and Debra for an in-depth conversation on what women can do – right now – in their homes to reduce health risks and what gives her hope for progress and programs she’s currently working on that excite for a better, healthier future for women.
