ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Dr. Jennifer Simmons spent 17 years as a board-certified breast surgeon before walking away from conventional practice to become a functional medicine doctor. She's the author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer and host of the podcast Keeping Abreast with Dr. Jenn. In this episode, she makes the case for rethinking how we screen for and treat breast cancer, from the surgeon's chair to the other side of it.
- Why routine mammogram screening isn't delivering the protection it's marketed on
- What dense breast tissue actually means for your risk and your screening options
- Radiation-free alternatives to mammography, and how they work
- Whether hormones actually cause breast cancer, and what the research really shows
- Is HRT safe, and who should (and shouldn't) be taking it
