A Doctor's Journey into Functional Medicine with Dr. Jenn Simmons | Wellness Sherpa with Jenn Payeur

Traditional breast cancer treatments often concentrate on managing the symptoms and eliminating cancer cells rather than addressing the underlying causes. This approach can overlook important factors like nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental concerns. In contrast, Functional Medicine aims to enhance overall well-being and reduce the risk of recurrence by integrating these elements with the body’s natural healing process. Dr. Jenn Simmons is a leading integrative oncologist, board-certified breast surgeon, distinguished speaker, best-selling author, and the founder of perfeQTion imaging. Following her own battle with breast cancer, Dr. Jenn discovered and embraced the concept of creating health rather than suppressing symptoms. In this episode, Dr. Jenn shares insights into her health journey and how it transformed her approach to breast cancer treatment and prevention.#JenniferPayeur #WellnessSherpa #NatureProvides[00:00] - Intro[01:26] - A Pain to Purpose Experience [06:43] - Stop Focusing on the Wrong Thing [19:29] - Doctor by Day Author by Night [23:32] - “The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer”[29:47] - Breast Cancer Screening[37:17] - What is the QT Scan?[42:40] - OutroTo learn more about the QT Scan visit: https://www.perfeqtionimaging.com/Listen to The Wellness Sherpa here and anywhere from one of these popular apps:Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wellness-sherpa/id1734332235Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3BVxQTTvraInTvn6iiSkl7?trackId=5v4sZRuvWDcisoOk1PFv6TPlease subscribe, rate, and review - thank you!—I’m Jennifer Payeur, the host of The Wellness Sherpa as well as the CEO and Founder of Nature Provides.
