Dr Simmons’ Podcast

Summary:

In this episode of Back to the Basics, Dr. Cassie Smith hosts Dr. Jenn Simmons, a former breast cancer surgeon turned integrative oncologist, to discuss the shortcomings of traditional breast cancer screening and the potential of safe, alternative therapies. Dr. Simmons sheds light on how mammograms may not save lives as commonly believed, often leading to overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatments that compromise patients' quality of life. She shares insights from studies and patient cases, explaining how breast cancer growth is unpredictable and why current screening methods fail to identify which cancers need intervention.

The conversation highlights Dr. Simmons' advocacy for more effective and less invasive breast cancer screening methods, such as QT scanning, which provides better results without the pain and radiation associated with mammograms. They also explore the life-changing benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy for breast cancer survivors, debunking the myth that hormone replacement fuels cancer recurrence.
