  • 13. The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer (with Jenn Simmons, MD) This week I welcomed Jenn Simmons, MD on my show to talk about breast health. Drawing from her extensive experience as an integrative oncologist, breast surgeon, and founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, Dr. Jenn shares insights from her new book, The Smart Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer, which was released earlier this month. Join us as we explore the importance of addressing root causes of cancer, the role of nutrition and lifestyle choices in breast health, and the revolutionary technology behind PerfeQTion Imaging, which promises to redefine breast cancer screening. Dr. Jenn shares empathetic and practical advice for navigating a breast cancer diagnosis, emphasizing the significance of creating a healing environment through diet, lifestyle changes, and toxin avoidance. Dr. Jenn Simmons started her professional career as Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years as Philadelphia's top breast surgeon. Her own illness led her to discover functional medicine. So enamored with the concept of creating health rather than killing disease, she left traditional medicine in 2019 and founded Real Health MD to help women along their breast cancer journey truly heal. Tune in to hear Dr. Jenn share her passion for transforming breast cancer care, honoring the memory of her cousin Linda Creed, and advocating for a holistic approach to breast health. Whether you’re a survivor, a caregiver, or simply seeking to prioritize your well-being, together we share invaluable insights and inspiration for embracing a proactive approach to breast health. 00:00 Understanding Breast Cancer: A New Perspective 00:41 Meet Dr. Jenn Simmons: From Traditional to Functional Medicine 01:47 The Personal Journey of Dr. Simmons 05:29 The Shift to Functional Medicine and Its Impact 08:45 Exploring the Real Causes of Breast Cancer 18:37 The Controversy of Breast Cancer Screening and Diagnosis 21:23 Breaking Down Breast Cancer Types and Misconceptions 31:12 The Debate on Breast Cancer Screening Methods 41:54 Exploring Alternative Breast Cancer Screening Methods 44:20 The Revolutionary QT Imaging for Breast Cancer 46:16 Empowering Self-Examination and Screening Choices 50:56 Navigating Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Options 51:16 The Role of Diet and Lifestyle in Breast Cancer Recovery 01:01:07 Integrating Conventional and Functional Medicine Approaches 01:11:43 The Future of Cancer Treatment and the Importance of Hormone Replacement 01:16:26 Final Thoughts: Taking Control of Your Health Connect with Amy Myers, MD Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dramymyers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AmyMyersMD/featured Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMD Twitter: https://twitter.com/AmyMyersMD Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/amymyersmd/ Connect with Jenn Simmons, MD Website: www.realhealthmd.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmons
