Episode 104: The Answer to Breast Cancer with Dr Jenn Simmons

Dr. Jenn Simmons started her professional career as Philadelphia's first Fellowship trained breast surgeon. After spending 17 years as Philadelphia's top breast surgeon, her own illness led her to discover functional medicine. So enamored with the concept of creating health rather than killing disease, she left traditional medicine and her esteemed surgical position in 2019 and founded Real Health MD with the mission to help women anywhere along the breast cancer journey to truly heal.Dr. Jenn believes that health is much more than the absence of disease. Health is optimal function. In order to function optimally we must nourish ourselves in a way that is meaningful for us and avoid the things that interfere with health. Each of us is unique - we all have our own bio-individuality. Each of us is different in how we process food, what nourishes us, how we detoxify our bodies, and how our environment affects us. Most importantly, however, Dr. Jenn knows that health happens at home. Not in a doctors office, not in a hospital-health happens at home.Dr. Jenn is on a mission to change the impact of breast cancer by empowering millions of women to take control of their health and create the life they want. She crafted her signature course, My Answer to Breast Cancer, to give women the tools to ditch their diagnosis and design their destiny.Dr. Jenn is a motivational speaker, maintains her private practice, runs group programs, is a frequent podcast guest, a summit host, an author, has extensive TV and live speaking experience, is a wife, mother, grandmother, dog-lover, athlete, and friend.What we talked about:5:55- Introduction to Dr. Jenn and her career15:50- Functional medicine16:50- Causes of hormonal cancers21:55- How to prevent hormonal cancers33:25- Dairy products and estrogen38:00- The clients that Dr. Jenn works with45:35- Foods that are good for cancer prevention or treatment49:40- Grains53:05- Wrap-upShow notes:Dr. Jenn Simmons on InstagramDr. Jenn Simmons WebsiteContact Stacey:[email protected] Theherbanfarmacy.comSchedule a call to work with me: calendly.com/theherbanfarmacyConnect with Stacey:Stacey on InstagramStacey’s WebsiteJoin The Herban Farmacy Facebook GroupShop Beautycounter for Black FridayJoin as a Beautycounter advocateSandyBoy Productions Shows:Why is Everyone Yelling?The Illuminate PodcastI’ll Have Another with Lindsey HeinThe Ready to Run Podcast
