DR JENN SIMMONS Are We Doing Breast Cancer All Wrong?

Dr. Jenn Simmons is a pioneering force in the world of breast cancer care. Once a renowned breast cancer surgeon, Dr. Jenn transformed her practice after her own journey as a patient, becoming an integrative oncologist with a mission to revolutionize breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and screening.

Dr. Jenn is the author of the best-selling book, "The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer," hailed as a must-read for anyone navigating this challenging journey.

As the host of the insightful podcast "KEEPING ABREAST WITH DR. JENN," she shares her expertise and passion for holistic health. At Perfeqtion Imaging, Dr. Jenn is leading the charge with safe, affordable, and radiation-free breast imaging.

Committed to addressing the needs of the forgotten woman, she educates on the safety and benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for breast cancer survivors, forever changing the landscape of breast health.

In this episode, former breast surgeon Dr. Jen Simmons shares how her own breast cancer diagnosis led her to abandon conventional treatments and adopt a holistic, root-cause-focused approach through functional medicine. She critiques mammograms for their radiation risks and limitations, advocating safer alternatives like monthly self-exams, the at-home Aria tears test, and her radiation-free QT scan, while emphasizing true prevention and mindset in healing.
