What Your Mammogram Is Missing, And the Technology That Changes Everything
Linda Creed wrote The Greatest Love of All. She wrote it in 1977, and when Whitney Houston released it in 1986 it spent fourteen weeks at the top of the charts. One month after it hit number one, Linda died of metastatic breast cancer. She was Dr. Jenn Simmons' hero. And that loss became the reason Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon — and eventually, the reason she walked away from conventional oncology entirely.
Because what she found inside that system wasn't healing. It was pattern recognition, symptom suppression, and a mammography screening program that the American College of Physicians now says offers no survival benefit at any age.
In this episode, Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Jenn Simmons, integrative oncologist, breast surgeon, and founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, for one of the most important conversations in the show's history. They cover what mammograms actually do and don't do, why thermograms are being misused, why stage zero is not cancer, why bioidentical hormones do not cause breast cancer and may actually be protective, and the FDA-cleared technology Dr. Jenn has built that screens for breast cancer without pain, compression, or radiation — with forty times the resolution of MRI.
Every woman needs to hear this episode. And so does every clinician still telling women they can't have hormones after a breast cancer diagnosis.
The story of Linda Creed, writer of The Greatest Love of All, and how her death from metastatic breast cancer became Dr. Jenn's life mission [01:53]
What the American College of Physicians published in April 2026 about mammogram screening — and why it confirms what integrative medicine has been saying for years [around 20:00]
The mammogram math: screen 2,000 women for ten years, potentially extend one life, diagnose ten with cancer they never needed to know about, and subject 200 to unnecessary biopsies [around 22:00]
Why thermograms are not a screening tool for breast cancer and what they should actually be used for [29:39]
Why stage zero is not cancer — and why the breast cancer world hasn't renamed it the way other specialties have [38:53]
The truth about bioidentical hormones and breast cancer: what the data actually shows, and why women who take hormones after a breast cancer diagnosis have better outcomes [42:01]
How PerfeQTion Imaging uses sound waves through a warm water bath to create a 3D reconstruction of the breast — no pain, no compression, no radiation, 40x the resolution of MRI [34:29]
How breast cancer is a metabolic disease — and why screening for metabolic dysfunction can identify risk years before it ever shows on imaging [34:29]
What it means to give every patient a health plan, not just a treatment plan [around 23:00]Breast health is health. And now there's a better way to protect it.
