Hormone Therapy and Breast Cancer: What Women Need to Know About Risk, Screening, and Prevention | Jenn Simmons
from The Dr. Brighten Show · host Dr. Jolene Brighten
When it comes to hormone therapy and breast cancer, few topics create more confusion, fear, and conflicting information. Women are often told they need to be concerned about breast cancer risk, yet many never receive a nuanced discussion about screening, lifestyle factors, inflammation, environmental exposures, or how to evaluate their individual risk profile. In this episode of The Dr. Brighten Show, Dr. Jolene Brighten sits down with former breast surgeon Dr. Jenn Simmons to discuss breast cancer screening, hormone therapy, risk assessment, inflammation, lifestyle factors, and the questions women should be asking about their long-term health. This conversation explores both conventional and emerging perspectives on breast health while emphasizing the importance of individualized care and informed decision-making. Women listening to this episode will gain insight into current screening conversations, breast cancer risk factors, lifestyle interventions, metabolic health, environmental exposures, and the role of personal empowerment in supporting long-term wellness.
