Alternative Breast Cancer Screening and Treatment Options with Dr. Jenn Simmons

“There is no survival advantage to screening with mammograms.” - Dr. Jenn Simmons
For over 50 years, healthcare providers have told women how important it is to have a mammogram every year after a certain age. With mammograms positioned as the primary screening tool for breast cancer, these annual visits are dutifully maintained for years in the hope that they will act as an early warning system. Unfortunately, the data doesn’t support this theory.
Research shows that there was no survival advantage to screening with mammograms, nor does it result in more breasts saved. In addition, repeated radiation exposure causes thousands of breast cancers every year, as well as thousands of women treated for breast cancer that never needed to be treated. Luckily, we now have alternatives that are safer and less aggressive.
Today, I’m excited to chat with Dr. Jenn Simmons, who is on a mission to change the impact of breast cancer. Dr. Jenn 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 to her discovery of functional medicine, and she became 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.
In this conversation, Dr. Jenn and I discuss her personal experiences with breast cancer, the complexities of its detection and treatment, the root causes of breast cancer, how environmental toxins and lifestyle factors affect cancer development, innovative imaging technology for safer breast cancer screening, why you shouldn’t be afraid of estrogen, and more. Enjoy the episode!
