69: The Truth About Mammograms | Dr. Jenn Simmons, MD
Manage episode 444164415 series 3474298
Breast cancer is never a blessing, but it can be a blessing if you seize the opportunity to take back control of your health. I’m very excited to welcome Dr. Jenn Simmons, MD, an integrative oncologist, breast surgeon, author, podcast host, and the founder of perfeQTion imaging, to the show today. Dr. Simmons began her 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. Captivated by the concept of promoting her own good health rather than suppressing symptoms, Dr. Simmons rejected traditional medicine treatment methods in 2019 and founded Real Health MD to support all women on their breast cancer journey. In this episode, Dr. Jenn and I discuss the flaws with breast cancer screening methods like mammography, the future of breast cancer imaging, and the benefits of considering a holistic approach when it comes to battling cancer.
